So much for following the #NolanPrinciples on public life - selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty, and leadership.

The 7 #NolanPrinciples Selfless, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Honesty, Openness and Leadership seems to be opaque to far too many in politics or positions of power these days.

As @carmelme.bsky.social points out here, if MPs were educated about the #NolanPrinciples &held to them by ministers, Parliament could rise from the gutter to which Johnson dragged it. #BettingScandal @bylinesnetwork.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/nol...

This new approach by the Government undermines the Nolan principles of accountability and openness in public life. Openness improves government.

The Seven Principles of Public Life https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-7-principles-of-public-life/the-7-principles-of-public-life--2 1. The Seven Principles of Public Life The Seven Principles of Public Life (also known as the Nolan Principles) apply to anyone who works as a public office-holder. This includes all those who are elected or appointed to public office, nationally and locally, and all people appointed to work in the Civil Service, local government, the police, courts and probation services, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), and in the health, education, social and care services. All public office-holders are both servants of the public and stewards of public resources. The principles also apply to all those in other sectors delivering public services. 1.1 Selflessness Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest. 1.2 Integrity Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships. 1.3 Objectivity Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias. 1.4 Accountability Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this. 1.5 Openness Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing. 1.6 Honesty Holders of public office should be truthful 1.7 Leadership Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour and treat others with respect

MPs of all parties have chosen to set aside ethical/moral considerations, and totally compromised their integrity for personal gain. Only corrupt politicians would support a settler colonialist, Apartheid State committing war crimes, infanticide, genocide.

Reform Uk is a Ltd Co.
Q ? How does that impact the rules about donations to politicians, political parties & MPs? If the rules are out of date, need updating ASAP.
£5M gift to a politician must have proper checks & balances, as a public servant.

I also asked when this had taken place and what guidance exists for officials on which issues must be escalated to their Ministers.

With trust in politics in the UK so low, it is vital that officials and elected politicians make decisions with a full understanding of the facts.

Accurate data and monitoring is crucial when it comes to poverty/policy and the public purse! Implementation and impact of #FreeSchoolMeals should not be a guessing game. #NolanPrinciples

Excl from @ramshodgson.bsky.social: The DfE has admitted that it doesn't know how many children on free school meals will lose out under planned eligibility changes to the scheme, leaving ministers "flying in the dark”.

The last administration could have done a bit more on the honourable deeds side of things. The #NolanPrinciples seem to be completely undermined and forgotten these days by too many public office bearers.

It cannot be right that an MP can have multiple jobs to the detriment of their constituents. When is the government going to legislate to put a stop to this abuse? #KeirStarmer #NolanPrinciples #politics
