Happy register of interests’ day! Commons sleazebusters marked Valentines’ day yesterday by quietly releasing an updated list of MPs and what they’ve been declaring. There’s plenty of fun stuff there: Carlton plotter Will Wragg got a handy £5,000 donation from his gentleman’s club of choice while both Lib Dem leader Ed Davey and Labour MP Grahame Morris were embarrassingly forced to make belated entries on various undeclared interests. Holly Lynch got perhaps the most intriguing donation: a £20,000 bequest to advance ‘the campaigns or careers of young socialist women.’
Marcus Jones can dig himself out of a funding hole with £3,500 from JCB Excavators with SNP outcast Joanna Cherry proudly displayed her membership of the Sex Matters advisory group, as she continues to fight her party’s civil war on trans rights. Matt Hancock’s app has been renewed for another year thanks to £6,528 from Disciple Media with Sir Geoffrey Cox clearly undaunted by past controversies, having collected another £60,997 in legal services.
