Lay member of Commons Standards Committee hits out at ‘slanderous’ attacks on anti-sleaze chief

inews.co.uk/news/lay-membe…
My full interview with @TammyBanksy will be on @BBCRadio4's Week In Westminster at 11am today.

It's rare for lay members of the committee to speak publicly, but she lays bare her frustration at the events of the past week - while stressing some good may come out of the 'debacle'
If there's one positive feature of this week, it's to show that members of the public really aren't shut out of the standards system at present.
@TammyBanksy is one of 7 independent members of the 14-strong Standards Cttee, and she is superb.

BREAKING Standards reform passes: 250 votes for, 232 votes against.
Shouts of 'shame!' from Labour. And one MP: 'What have you done to this place'.
On those figures, more than 100 Tory MPs may have defied their govt whip. Which is some 'rebellion' but not enought
MPs vote now against Paterson 30-day suspension by 248 to 221.

And here he is. @JeffBezos tells #COP26 that 'when I was in space' earlier this year he realised just how thin the globe's atmosphere was.
Think he forgot to mention just how many fossil fuels he spent getting into space. Image
Bezos announces 'I am pleased to announce a £2bn pledge to restoring nature', part of a £10bn Bezos earth fund.
Proof that he has the same clout as many world leaders here. Wonder if he will reference how much tax he pays in individual countries..?
Bezos says Amazon aims to power all its operations by 100% renewables by 2025 and is ‘working towards’ making its vehicles electric. 'Working towards' is doing a fair bit of work there.

Utter chaos at security for COP26. It's not as if they couldn't plan for this is it? Image
It's an international embarrassment. All nationalities in this queue. #globalbritain
Thank god it ain't raining. But it's nippy.

In the @ConHome fringe, @michaelgove namechecks Marc Stears for his work on the way communities can save capitalism.
Stears was @Ed_Miliband's chief speechwriter.
Among other "political thinkers engaging with the big questions of the moment", he also namechecks Robert Puttnam and Paul Collier.
Gove says her prefers a 'covenant' approach to a 'contractual' approach to politics. Building societies, mutuals etc, part of the debate.
If you want to know what senior Conservatives like Gove are thinking, follow this fringe live here:
