Hardly the only one. That is the point.

Which brings us back to the point of politicians being essentially unregulated, and their - non criminal - behaviour being governed internally - even the initially lauded Miisterial Code has been routinely flouted, and anyone who has been found in breach after investigations lasting years has had little more than knuckes rapped, and then welcomed back into governemt after a brief sabatical. It all needs to be updated.

Is there any difference in law between a PC and an MP as regards 'Public office"?
If the Pc was arrested why haven't the MPs been treated in the same manner.
( A rhetorical question: We all know the answer)

ETA that’s Dan Poulter’s seat - elected Con, defected to Lab in 2024, not standing.

Unusual.

He'll be hoping that any of his future employers use the same vetting company as Reform.

He'd have been disappointed had it turned out that part of the eco-friendly security measures at Rishi's pad had been to fill the lake with Piranhas.

The Nolan rules should be enforced rather than being guidance, suspension from parliament etc.

Just a thought, why don’t they ban gambling companies from offering odds on events which are open to insider info, potentially corrupt or illegal activity?
