👀Is Rishi Sunak trying to avoid public scrutiny?
He just switched his new company “The office of Akshata Murty and Rishi Sunak” from a limited company to an “unlimited” company.
This means he no longer has to make his company accounts public 👀⤵️

A right wing paper that has *never* had a similar headline about the UK economy taking a FAR greater hit from the ruinous Tory Brexit deal, can’t be taken seriously when it slates Labour for dealing with the epic mess the Tories left behind.

The Times journalist who fought to get the story about the Reform MP who kicked his girlfriend multiple times @georgegreenwood.bsky.social tells how hard the newspaper had to right to get the information released.
So who has been protecting the Reform MP?

As an addendum to this, it took four months to get this information, which would have been publicly available at the time of conviction.
The Times had to appoint counsel and attend a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court to secure its release. That is not an expense all publishers can afford.
