Wow you've really drunk the kool aid, I don't think I'd every be that sure about the integrity of a company I worked for.

I have worked for Infosys for quite a few years, and the reason I agreed to work for them was their integrity. At the time it was just words, but I have seen at first hand what they do in India and around the world.

A few months ago they committed, in a shrinking world economy, to stand by their 35,000 offers to graduates and guaranteed everyones job at Infosys for 24 months regardless of what happens to the world economy.

Yes they are big, but morally they are well grounded. As I said I know the COO personally, and to a lesser extent the CEO and they are both decent men.

I can give lots of other examples. Oh they are **** at paying expenses on time.

Very laudable and to be commended but not relevant when declaring interests which needs to be done whatever the interest is. Otherwise you'd just have a "Register of interests in dodgy companies"

She owns less than 1%of Infosys has no say in day to day or strategic decisions at Infosys and if she tried to use her influence with the British government she would be called out for it. You are right, and I did say in my post the conflict should have been recorded. My point was only that, from a moral standpoint Infosys knock the British government out of the park. In fact her father Narayana Murthy stepped down as ceo to force Infosys to take a more moral approach to their business dealings. It largely worked in the shakeup at board level. I know the ceo and the coo at Infosys one of them very well. They are honest men

Nope working from home, not sure what point you are making though? Stealing bandwidth, stealing company time? In either case I wouldn't pursue that argument.

FG I have already said it should have been declared in an earlier post.

I think his point was a joke, suggesting that you're doing it because your company would be able to see what you're typing (almost like a kidnapper making a captive say good things).

Ah, misunderstood, read it as you meant you should have declared that you worked for them in an earlier post.
 
I know this is a bit off piste, but when i see him walking with his tight little suit on i cant for the life of me get Norman Pitkin....AKA Norman Wisdom, out of my mind !
 
Surely that is a straight red, he has to go given his position.

What makes this worse is it’s not just like he has forgotten 1 he has purposely made a misleading entry in the register omitting most of his wife’s interests.

Can’t see how his position is tenable unless he has a reasonable explanation for this ( which I can’t imagine there is one)

The declarations were approved by the government's head of propriety and ethics. Hmmm . . . .

In ‘normql’ times you would expect so.
Trump changed the rules we have been happy to follow
Cummins, Patel et al
 
Is it too idealistic to expect our politicians to be of the people, for the people?

And where have the conscience politicians gone?

My first instinct with this is that it doesn't really matter.

But then in deeper thought it has to be a purposeful action to actively ignore this wealth/ link and not declare it.

It doesn't impact me the wealth of a politician and I don't really care, but its the lack of transparency that comes with it that is disturbing. If it is required to declare and he has chosen not to, the act of not declaring it should be explored and whatever the consequence of that may be (probably not a lot anyway)

I work in the public sector and I need to go through an annual declaration of interest process just in case anything changes - for example if a close relative assumes control of a stakeholder partner. Also if I’m gifted even a bottle of wine I need to declare it. Sunak’s git form don’t forget:

I just don’t understand why someone this wealthy would be interested in government. Surely if he is so capable he would be employed by the family company and be far better rewarded for his talent.

I could understand if he was doing the job in a philanthropic role, but seeing as he is working for that party - just what is it he is working towards?
