the Good Law Project are looking at a possible prosecution, Jo Maughan stating

It is also a crime to deal in "securities" after receiving inside information. And, more relevantly Kwarteng, it is also a crime to disclose inside information in respect of securities.

Slightly more important than someone chucking turds over a cardboard cut-out of a pensioner. IMO.

KK is also on the payroll for an investment bank isn't he? Apparently paid for his"advice".
