She is no longer an MP, having stood down last year, never to be heard from again hopefully. She is infamous for her actions as Home Secretary on the Windrush descendants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Rudd#Windrush_scandal She is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel needless to say. Her brother was awarded a large contract on the construction of Hinckley Point. 'In July 2015, Private Eye reported that Rudd faced a potential conflict of interest because she is to decide on the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station (a much-delayed proposal to construct a 3,200 MWe nuclear power station with two EPR reactors in Somerset, England) while her brother Roland is chairman and founder of Finsbury, a lobbying firm that represents a construction company with a £100 million contract to help build the nuclear plant. The Private Eye report noted that despite the MPs' register of interests including a new category of "family members engaged in lobbying," Rudd "makes no mention of her brother or his interests," and added, "The Eye asked the Department of Energy & Climate Change if Rudd had told its permanent secretary about Roland and Finsbury (another conflict of interest procedure) but it did not reply."' https://www.newsweek.com/amber-rudd-profile-who-britains-new-home-secretary-480338 Is 'venal' the right word? PS Did the Hinckley Point C project proceed? |
