What is the sentence for abuse of power whilst in office?
I don’t know, but BoJo has it in for the Courts after he was excoriated by the Supreme Court for trying to adjourn Parliament.
I think the offence is Misconduct in Public Office. This legal guidance document from the CPS explains more.
But wants to give up their chance of a knighthood?
After all of the sleaze scandals is a recent knighthood still a badge of honour or confirmation of a shady recent past?
Its certainly a key to lots of non executive directorships.
Daily Express: Matt Hancock left red faced after losing new job at UN hours after taking it.
Snap!
says it all:
“It is right for the UN to reconsider this appointment. If Matt Hancock wants to help African countries recover from the pandemic, he should lobby the prime minister to back a patent waiver on Covid-19 vaccines. If he’d done that when he was in government, tens of millions more people could already have been vaccinated.
“The last thing the African continent needs is a failed British politician. This isn’t the 19th century.”
That made my day But the shameless bastard will bounce back.
Looks like he is getting ready to shaft us all!
This is so wrong:
He literally does not care that our Covid figures are so much worse than our European neighbours “you can read what you like [it won’t change my stance]”.
The interviewer lets him get away with the “I dispute that” retort though - why does she simply not say “you are wrong”?
And then…
I tried watching, listening, but he is such a bumbling, incoherent moronic fuckwit I only got to about 40 seconds
I think he wants people to switch off - less scrutiny that way.
Yes ruling by the confusion principle again
No words
