Absolutely dreadful stuff, esp from Dobbs, Shapps and Kinnock. Dobbs. A peerage from Cameron in 2010 and now a Johnson groupie. Some of his interests: Category 1: Directorships Director, Michael Dobbs Entertainment Ltd (see category 4(a)) Non-executive Director, M&C Saatchi plc (international marketing company) (interest ceased 10 December 2019) Category 2: Remunerated employment, office, profession etc. Income from writing and broadcasting: Books (Simon & Schuster); HarperCollins; Sourcebooks; Public Lending Right (PLR); Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS)) Income from writing and broadcasting: Film (Media Rights Capital II LP; various others) Income from writing and broadcasting: Speeches (Specialist Speakers and others) Income from writing and broadcasting: Television (BBC; various others) Speaking engagement, 28 May 2019, Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum, Bonn Category 3: Person with significant control of a company (PSC) Michael Dobbs Entertainment Ltd Category 4: Shareholdings (a) Sole owner with wife (each holding 50 per cent) of Michael Dobbs Entertainment Ltd Category 10: Non-financial interests (b) Member of Advisory Board, Edward R. Murrow Center, Fletcher School, Tufts University, USA Visiting Parliamentary Fellow, St Antony's College Oxford Category 10: Non-financial interests (e) Executive Board Member, Conservative Friends of the Chinese President, Langford and Wylye Branch, Royal British Legion ! Shapps- CFoI and a former Tory chairman. He repeated the anti-Corbyn rot. 'He famously went by the additional name, Michael Green. “Green” was the alias Shapps used when he was still heading up his get-rich-quick business (which sounded a little too like a pyramid scheme even if it wasn’t one) after he was elected to parliament. His sales pitch to potential clients included the lines (really): “I’m so rich my car even has a fridge in it!” and “I took out my pocket-book and bought a plane!” One e-book published had an image of him surfing a banknote, and another was titled Stinking Rich 3, which sounds like a Pixar movie, but if everybody who worked at Pixar was a twat. A Tory tale of feuds and farce: it’s The Shapps Ultimatum Shapps’ second life was unearthed when he was photographed at a network event with a Michael Green name badge. Most people at conferences aren’t keen to wear a badge with their own name, but Shapps was happy to wear one with the title of a fictional character. His other pseudonyms have included Sebastian Fox (is there a more Tory name?) Rather brilliantly, when confronted about all of this, Shapps said he had “over-firmly denied” having a second job, which is a Trumpian-level euphemism for “I lied”.' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/21/tory-chancer-grant-shapps-mugging-brexit-coffee Kinnock - See CM's Peak Kinnock https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2016/09/peak-kinnock/ Kinnock has just been returned as Labour MP for Aberavon but with a reduced share of the vote. Nicky Morgan sat alongside Merton and giggled throughout. Ghastly. She did not stand as an MP this time. She was DCMS SoS under Johnson from July this year until dissolution. Previously Cameron's Education minister etc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Morgan Drew Hendry SNP. Helen Lewis, former New Statesman editor spoke some truths. She now writes for the Atlantic. Oh dear! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic |
