A Liverpool Labour MP has written to the party s three candidates for Mayor with a 10-point plan to safeguard against corruption at the council.
Midlothian MP Owen Thompson (SNP)
The Ministerial Interests (Emergency Powers) Bill would force UK Ministers to answer questions about any personal, political or financial connections they may have to a company that is awarded a government contract.
The Bill follows a series of revelations that the UK Government has awarded billions of taxpayers’ money to companies linked to the Conservative Party during the coronavirus pandemic – including a National Audit Office report revealing a lack of transparency and adequate documentation of UK government procurement decisions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It also revealed a high priority VIP lane was set up to allow suppliers with links to politicians or senior officials to pitch directly for work.

(openDemocracy) Nikolai Sukhanov is used to flags of convenience. The flags of many nations flutter from the stern of ships on the docks and quays of Nakhodka in Russia’s far east. Owners often register their vessels thousands of miles from home, in countries with far looser regulations and restrictions than their own.
Sukhanov, a veteran trade union organiser, spends his days clambering onto ships berthed in the Pacific port, checking that sailors are treated well and paid properly. They very often are not.
