About time no MP was allowed to have connections to any secretive trust, especially those that are offshore. There’s a vanishingly small number of reasons for an offshore trust that aren’t about hiding things and avoiding tax and scrutiny.

There have never been any reasons for an offshore trust that aren’t about avoiding tax and scrutiny.
Nothing new. Among the Tories it is endemic

I think that may have been revenge for calling for Boris to go a while back and not supporting the Thatcher tribute act.

Oh he hates him. Ellwood gave him a pasting in a recent defence select committee hearing.

Decision making based on facts & evidence is not what the modern Conservative party is about.

(Also one less vote for Mordaunt as I presume he, Ellwood, loses the right to be involved in that election now)

He is now an independent MP. Same as Pincher.

Stealing peoples money that obviously isn’t going to end well is it… also suggests the banking system there is a bit fucked. I can’t imagine it’s a massive sum they want to withdraw and China should be able to find a few Bn down the back of the sofa when needed…

Saw something a few weeks back that there had been a run on some banks in China. Something definitely not right in China at the moment.
