You gotta think, the House of Lords would have both greater legitimacy and efficacy if giving money to a political party was a bar to becoming a Peer.
If you agree with us that Cruddas should be stripped of his peerage, we're suing Boris Johnson and you could sign and share our petition. https://glplive.org/peerages-1206

Some of my proudest moments at @The_TUC have been on our women’s campaigns.
Publishing the first ever UK research into the extent of sexual harassment - 52% - in 2016, long before #MeToo.
Demanding a right to furlough with @mother_pukka after 50k mums told us of their despair

Who, you might ask, is the real beneficiary of our tax secrecy laws, backed by threat of criminal sanction? Could it be the astonishingly wealthy, who want the status quo to continue? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jun/12/clamour-for-wealth-tax-grows-after-revelations-about-super-richs-affairs?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
In 2006 Labour politicians were arrested and taken in for questioning over similar events. Given the Metropolitan Police took robust action against Labour ministers and donors, it should do the same for the Conservatives. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/court-challenge-to-apparent-bias-over-pms-peerage-for-cruddas-gk5stcq8w
Protesters outside the Knesset in a celebratory mood, dancing and singing to mark the ouster of Israel's longest-serving prime minister who was indicted on four corruption charges

@yankeegirlnj65 @nytmike I think the that’s the biggest thing. How Trump basically ask for dirt on ppl he didn’t like. And Apple, Google, Microsoft willingly did this. And said nothing.
NEW: DOJ secretly subpoenaed Apple for personal info of Trump's then WH counsel Don McGahn and his wife in Feb '18. DOJ barred Apple from telling them at time but 3 years later in May '21 Apple told them. It's unclear what investigation it was related to. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/13/us/politics/justice-department-apple-donald-mcgahn.html
