It doesn’t get more bent than this Lord Moynihan referred peers to his register of interests, but did not specify that he held shares in Shell, TotalEnergies, and Well-Safe Solutions. He did not refer peers to his register of interests during his December address. 1/2 www.desmog.com/2024/12/06/t... - ThreadSky

The system is corrupted

brenners49.bsky.social•96 days ago

How difficult would it be for a database of conflict of interest to be available pre debate taking out bias stands. Local councils do it so its not difficult!

karenneemcnally.bsky.social•95 days ago

Even schools do an annual register of interests fgs!

nazishmunch.bsky.social•95 days ago

Are there no consequences for those that “forget” to declare their interests?

europeanpowell.bsky.social•95 days ago

Clearly not, maybe a slap on the wrist followed by a stern 'Don't do it again'

nazishmunch.bsky.social•95 days ago

Well, no wonder then. This complete and utter lack of accountability since for what seems forever for the ruling class is why things are spinning out of control now. And members of all parties are complicit so no one will want to implement laws to change the system. And so it goes.

"I have the privilege of destroying Nature and shortening the lives of future generations. And no one can revoke this." This is the modern version of Emperor Nero's toast at a supper during his trip to Greece: "Let the world burn while we live."

This is the deranged fool I had to block on Twitter (when it was still Twitter).

noelo-callaghan.bsky.social•95 days ago

yes, I've seen people say he blocks them when they challenge him. seems a bit touchy

viviennesoton.bsky.social•95 days ago

He couldn’t block me because I already blocked him! He had been sending nasty, ignorant replies to my tweets.

Abolish the 805 peers.

A major Conservative donor and member of the House of Lords has made a series of recent speeches in Parliament that have lambasted the UK’s climate ambitions, while holding more than £300,000 in fossil fuel shares.

in our post-shame world, i don't expect him to be capable of having any.

in a just world, he would be in jail, but in this world, he's in the house of lords.

globalwaterrights.bsky.social•96 days ago

A post shame world indeed, well put, making the msm obsolete whether they report or not

europeanpowell.bsky.social•95 days ago

But the duplicity and double standards are embedded in Starmer's changed Labour Party as well.👇🏻

The two-party system has been bought by the most malign, criminally corrupt corporations in the world, capitalism without democracy, no one is paying attention to what happens next, these companies will take advantage of 86 free zones currently being installed across the UK.

There it is "Blackrock" - the Company the company where the CDU candidate F. Merz has been employed for years.

Sadly, the Gaurdian played it's part in this.

100%

landerk.bsky.social•96 days ago

How can I say I've got no words?
Totally despicable.

lillmagill.bsky.social•96 days ago

Vote him out at the next election - oh silly me. Nobody voted Lord Moynihan in.
When do we get some democracy?

todmanpla.bsky.social•96 days ago

Matt if you forget to declare your interests they are confiscated or at least in part. I bet that would make them remember

sg99.bsky.social•95 days ago

Can they not have the names of their sponsors on (double sided) lanyards round their necks 😡

ilmezzogiorno.bsky.social•95 days ago

Our system is now totally compromised. And the outrage from thee public fails to materialise which only emboldens the corrupt and leads to more apathy

noelo-callaghan.bsky.social•95 days ago

why do you block people who challenge you?

chopperpad668.bsky.social•95 days ago

Slightly unrelated but…. Net zero never really had a chance when the last incompetent bunch allowed Jennifer Power, a lobbyist on behalf of the fossil fuel giants, to be on the net zero advisory panel. Like Cruella De Ville advising a puppy farm.

kunikos.bsky.social•95 days ago

Isn’t that what he is paid to do?

kenhbro.bsky.social•95 days ago

Moynihan was careful to get himself an EU (Irish) passport so he wouldn't suffer the loss of freedom of movement he, as a keen Brexiter, was happy to wish on the rest of us. It's not just hereditary peers that need clearing out of the house of Lords.
