When is a bribe not a bribe? When it’s a Russian giving it to a Tory MP, in which case it’s a loan.
As usual no surprise or shock just an MP being an MP. Fuck them all
“In no way did [the loan] ever influence my words or actions as a member” – in the same way that drugs companies wine and dine doctors which in no way influences them from prescribing drugs from that company.
FFS, why can’t MP’s just get their loans from NatWest or Santander like normal people.
Corruption like this needs to trigger recall elections for constituents to kick them out.
Why is it almost always a Tory MP doing this kind of shit?
>The MP has avoided any punishment, however, with Ms Stone saying thematter was closed after Mr Warburton apologised for breaking the rules.
Oh what a fucking surprise. I imagine the investigations against him for drug taking and sexual assault (from 3 different women, i believe) will end the same way.
Oh, and of course the loan from his Russian mate was so he could buy a property to let it out. It’s like scum on top of scum with this guy. Scum squared, if you will.
Edit: It was 2 women, not 3 as far as i can tell. Probably earns him a promotion.
Edit the 2nd: I was right the first time, he did get the hatrick after all. Well done Dave, how lucky i am to have you represent my interests.
In January 2016, the Labour Party unsuccessfully proposed an amendment in Parliament that would have required private landlords to make their homes “fit for human habitation”. According to Parliament’s register of interests, Warburton was one of 72 Conservative MPs who voted against the amendment who personally derived an income from renting out property.
– what a nice chap!
A Tory breaking rules for financial gain? I am shocked to my core
Hes supposed to be our mp, he’s been nowhere to be seen for months.
No representation for us in the constituency
Happened in 2017. Good thing it wasn’t recent, because that would surely be treason.
Still waiting for the government investigation into Russian interference of British democratic processes.
I think we’ll be waiting for a long time…
And still, no torches and pitchforks in the streets. Just a bit of moaning and meekly waiting for the next GE, hoping FPTP won’t fail the electorate again.
Always weird how much money from Russia falls in conservative coffers the world over and they for some reason try to cover it up
When Peter Mandelson did this, it was all over the news, he resigned and Labour took a hit.
​
This will result in nothing, this is the only thing you’ll see of it, the media will brush it off, CON’s will continue as is.
another one for the wood-chipper
what morons vote for these people?
“Half the Tory members opposite are crooks..”
– Skinner underestimated matters.
A Tory MP had a “loan’ but wasn’t punished because punishing him a) Is admitting that he did something wrong and b) Implies that the Tories think that accepting money from Russians is wrong.
Read into that what you will.
All bought and paid for by Mother Russia. S’up comrade.
150k to betray your country. Folk really are willing to sell themselves cheaply.
Bent fucker. And fuck off to those that cleared him of any wrongdoing.
He just happens to mention the Russians name and lobbies for him, but it wasn’t for financial gain. Even though the lobbying was about his finances.
Let off because he apologised too. He should be forced to make a £150,000 charitable donation within his local constituency instead, given how this sort of behaviour brings down shame upon the area.
>The watchdog said he also failed to declare the loan when lobbying in favour of Mr Joukovski in a letter to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Corruption.
>The MP has avoided any punishment, however, with Ms Stone saying the matter was closed after Mr Warburton apologised for breaking the rules.
Even more corruption.
So, let me make sure I understand this, because I’m not sure.
He got a “loan” paid through an offshore account in the seychelles
Then he Lobbied the Financial Conduct Authority in support of the guy that paid him the “loan”
The above shenanigans are absolutely fine, because he said “sorry”.
You couldn’t make this shit up!
I’m sure he’ll get a gnats whisker gently slapped against his plump, sweatty wrists and think twice before doing that again.
They are Tory’s all of them have sold there sole to the Devil for a quick buck Tory pedos
Why has he still not been recalled and exspelled by his constituents?!!!! He’s already done a load of other shit to lose the whip…
With all the scare stories from the Tories, regarding the labour party (that’s including the current version of new labour) and their alleged links to communist Russia, it appears that it’s the “patriotic Tory party ” that’s in bed with the Russian bear. Despite this the Tories still wrap themselves up in the patriotic flag. #Hypocrisy of the highest order.
That wasn’t a loan, it was a bribe. We need to find out what the bribe was for.

Jesus christ, the article in the OP is bad enough but the [guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/21/no-formal-sanction-for-tory-mp-david-warburton-who-broke-rules-on-declaring-interests) article is way more comprehensive.
