This colourful character is Welsh Tory MP Jamie Wallis, elected in 2019.

He was a member of Pencoed council until 2018, when he was replaced because of non-attendance at meetings. He claimed he'd resigned from the council by letter, but the council hadn't received the letter. 🤔
Wallis was an owner of Fields Holdings Ltd, the parent company of Action Direct, a former claims management company of which Wallis was a director in 2011 when following an investigation into the company's conduct, the MoJ banned it from taking on further employment claims work.
In July 2010, an FOI request asking how many complaints or referrals to Trading Standards had been made about a Field House associated company Rapid Data Recovery Ltd, returned the response that between 1/1/2009 & mid-2010, 37 complaints had been received.
More than 800 complaints were made to trading standards about a group of businesses run by him.

He was elected in 2019, & since then he's has quit as a director of at least seven companies which offer services including 'data recovery & data security'.

#StrongBritainGreatNation
An investigation in 2020 found Wallis had been a co-owner of a 'sugar daddy' dating website "which offered students financial relationships with wealthy 'sponsors'".

Wallis initially denied links to the company, but had been a director & shareholder of the site's parent company.

Missing context for *that* photo - instigated it seems by @AskNationwide - not Downing St - as part of their 'respect in footbal' campaign.

So why on earth would Downing St release the cropped photo on the right?

Or if they didn't, why would @PoliticsForAlI say they did?
So it looks like @10DowningStreet released several photos from the photoshoot with @AskNationwide, but @PoliticsForAlI chose to release the one they did without supplying any context.

Was this lazy, deliberate, or something else?

Well Mr Adam Shit-Stirrer Hilton, in 2004 (17 years ago) Charles Moore was Telegraph editor when stories about George Galloway were published, which led to a successful libel action.

The newspaper had falsely written that Galloway received payments from Saddam Hussein's regime.
Moore was Chair of free-market think tank Policy Exchange, & in 2007 (14 years ago) he entered the debate over 'The Hijacking of British Islam', a misleading & widely condemned Policy Exchange report which the @BBC had found relied on fabricated evidence.

Moore hates the @BBC, which he claims is biased against climate change deniers. 🤪

He views the threat of climate change as alarmism & in 2019 (2 years ago) claimed it's designed to produce “unprecedented government control & the relative impoverishment of western societies”. 🤪

More absolute shit-stirring culture war bollocks from increasingly unhinged crank Charles Moore - does the once proud Spectator print anything else nowadays?

They've been accusing the National Trust of being 'woke' & 'anti-British' for SEVEN YEARS now - it's just utter bullshit.
On & on they go, like malfunctioning robotic populist nationalist chimps, puking out diatribe after diatribe against one of Britain's best loved & most profoundly BRITISH institutions. 🤪

It's just part of their sad little backward-looking culture war, supported by Andrew Neil.
And all because the National Trust rightly wanted to provide context & mention some important details about the history of some of their buildings.

Imagine the National Trust providing relevant contextualising information!

IT'S WOKE ANTI-BRITISH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!

Our #NHS is in danger.

#THREAD

On the 19th June, 2015, ex-Deutsche Bank MD Sajid Javid was the keynote speaker at the opaquely funded free-market think tank IEA’s 60th Anniversary.

He spoke about how "free markets" & sound economics help "everyone".

iea.org.uk/multimedia/vid…
The IEA subscribes to a neoliberal worldview & advocates positions based on this ideology, including climate change denial, & total privatisation - in effect abolition - of OUR #NHS.

The dodgy IEA is secretly funded by Big tobacco, & IEA officers have offered "Cash for Access".
Let's have a look at what Javid said to the bankers, hedge-funders & free-market fundamentalists gathered at the IEA, a think tank funded by Libertarian billionaires & disaster capitalists keen to exploit Britain's last remaining publicly funded institutions, especially OUR #NHS.
