Remember
DERIPASKA is Lord Barker’s colleague in EN+ and how HARD Lord Barker worked to have sanctions lifted from Deripaska’s EN.

Sufficiently hard to earn Barker $ multi millions.

McGonigal :Snr FBI agent
Look how far back his Russian “counter intelligence” goes until arrest
Old Rudi Giuliani bragged about his FBI ties in 2016…..makes you wonder who…

nytimes.com/2016/11/04/nyr…
H/t Chris Marsden for the summary
“Deripaska, the founder of Russian aluminium company Rusal, was among two dozen Russian oligarchs and government officials blacklisted by Washington in 2018 in reaction to Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 US election.' Not so in #Londongrad”
And this. Remember the FBI seeing no link between Trump and Russia the week before the 2016 election?

Guess who headed up the investigation?

Nadhim Zahawi's family lived in Cotswolds mansion in breach of planning conditions

“The ROC stated that occupation of the property was limited 'to a person solely or mainly working, or last working' in local equestrian activities, agriculture or forestry” dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
“Dependents or a widow or widower of such a person would also be allowed to stay at the house, which cost the Zahawis £875,000 and has served as the Stratford-on-Avon MP's constituency home”….

BUT (surprised face)
“Stratford-on-Avon District Council, which has been run by the Tories since 2003, failed to take enforcement action against the Zawahis despite refusing a flurry of applications by the couple and their planning agents to amend or remove the clause.”

Wealthy donors including gambling tycoons fund MPs’ staff | openDemocracy

It looks as if the private donations to run their offices is roughly split 50/50 between Tories and Labour. opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-…
“Almost half of the £1m spent by private donors on MPs’ staffing and ‘office costs’ in the year from November 2021 went to just four Labour frontbenchers: Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, David Lammy and Wes Streeting.”
“ Together, they received a total of £475,000.

Reeves alone accepted nearly £248,000, far more than any other MP. Her donors include Neil Goulden, the former chairman of gambling giant Gamesys, who gave £20,000 to “support the shadow chancellor’s office”

Shit. Very worrying

“In short, loss of gray matter equals loss of brain cells. It’s found in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Now, it’s being found in Long Covid patients. The participant’s ages ranged from 22-60. All were formerly healthy and had mild acute onset.”
Small study (n:24 unsurprisingly given MRI imaging required)

“This is a retrospective single center study which analyzed 24 consecutive COVID-19 infected patients with long term neurologic symptoms.”
“Each patient underwent Brain MRI with 3D VBM at median time of 85 days following laboratory confirmation. All patients had relatively mild respiratory symptoms not requiring oxygen supplementation, hospitalization, or assisted ventilation.”

“I’m excited for rookie ministerial ethics chief Laurie Magnus, who now has his first case. It’ll be fun to find out Laurie’s procedural style – will it be the every-stone-left-unturned approach favoured by his predecessor, Lord Geidt”

OR theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
“maybe the silent despair that engulfed Geidt’s predecessor, Alex Allan, who opted to resign when his lengthy investigation finding that Priti Patel had breached the ministerial code was overruled by Boris Johnson quickly deciding she hadn’t.”
It really is quite something to behold that Sunak has such a poor grasp of ethics and Government - and a signal of weakness- that his answer, instead of sacking him, is to trial run his new Tory Donor, banker “ethics advisor” Sir Laurie Magnus. Image

This story really is astonishing. It lays out the complex network of companies linked to Prigozhin. By 2017/18 his malign activities including interfering with foreign elections was very public and pretty well established. And then sanctioned.

Prigozhin fought the sanctions.
Not just in the USA and the EU but here in the U.K. he set about trying to threaten and discredit @EliotHiggins from Bellingcat, using SLAPP actions, who’d been documenting Prigozhin’s organisations, naming him as owner of Wagner Private Military Group & its murderous activities.
For instance
“Two years ago a video emerged of Russian-speaking mercenaries brutally murdering a Syrian man by beating him with a sledgehammer, beheading him, severing his arms with a trowel, and setting him on fire as his torturers laughed.”

TBH I think going to all that trouble decades ago to stash the shares away in an off shore company Balshore Investments and creating ambiguity over beneficial ownership was pretty bad…leading to the non declaration of benefits thus expose to tax liability.

A cover up too?
