Extraordinary that political parties are required to do so few checks on donations and that money can buy you anonymity in the UK courts for so long. Serious questions for @NCA_UK and the government which is resisting a Lords amendment to tighten up checks on donors.

I have spoken to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as Secretary of State for Health & Social Care. It has been an enormous privilege to serve in this role, but I regret that I can no longer continue in good conscience.

'It can be very hard to tease out populism that hovers near the borders of probity from a genuine slip over the precipice into state capture. We may have got so used to seeing corruption as a problem that happens to others, that we will not spot it until very late in the day.'

At the risk of repeating myself… They’re not ‘extra’ They’re not ‘additional’ And to suggest that they are is a lie. They don’t even come close to replacing the 44,000 officers and staff the government cut from policing between 2010 & 2018.
Priti Patel MP@pritipatel

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 We've now recruited 11,053 extra police officers. 🇬🇧 We're delivering on our promise to the British people to recruit 20,000 additional police. They will cut crime and keep our streets safe. 👉🏽 joiningthepolice.co.uk

Too late, it’s gone on a nice getaway to the Caribbean, the new luxury car, and the fantastic lifestyle over the last 12 mths…..whilst many genuine business owners struggled.
