WhenTopicTonePost
10 Apr 2026Crime & Policingangry“It gets worse. Delo personally doctored his own company's records to hide the fact that a customer was breaking the rules. He also kept serving customers in Iran - a country under international sanctions. He was fined $10 million and could have gone to prison for five years.”↗
10 Apr 2026Crime & Policingangry“His platform was officially described in court as "in effect a money laundering platform". When Delo was told it was being used to launder the proceeds of a hack, he did nothing. No reports filed. No action taken. In six years, his company never once flagged suspicious activity to authorities.”↗
10 Apr 2026Otherangry“Ben Delo isn't just a "billionaire expat" with a soft spot for Farage. In 2022 he was found guilty of serious criminal charges in the United States. American prosecutors said he deliberately built a dodgy crypto platform designed to help people hide dirty money. He admitted as much in court.”↗
10 Apr 2026MP & Parliamentangry“The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇”↗
8 Apr 2026Educationmeasured“Thank you to everyone who attended my SEND roundtable yesterday. Very much a listening exercise for me as I heard from the experiences of local parents navigating the SEND system.”↗
30 Mar 2026Defence & Securitymeasured“The conviction of Reform's Nathan Gill for taking bribes from Russia is a wake up call - hostile states are seeking to undermine our democracy at every turn. The Government has already acted, but there's more we can do.”↗
29 Mar 2026Educationcelebratory“A real pleasure to visit Sacred Heart School, Westhoughton, presenting the British Council International School Award - recognising the school's work adding an international dimension to the curriculum and helping pupils understand their place in the world.”↗
29 Mar 2026Crime & Policingangry“I won’t tolerate the UK being used as a safe haven for dirty money. Firms can’t shrug their shoulders when their own lax approach to preventing money laundering facilitates these kinds of transactions. Such abject failures must have consequences. So I’ll be raising this case with HMT.”↗
29 Mar 2026Crime & Policingangry“That’s why we need far stronger supervision of the regulated sector - it’s far too patchy, often weak and needs expanding. Plus we need an increase in regulatory action - how can it be that due diligence failed so spectacularly? Were red flags not identified? How did Su account for his money?”↗
29 Mar 2026Crime & Policingangry“Our Anti Money Laundering framework is toothless if firms do not undertake proper checks and report suspicions to law enforcement. Firms looking to make a quick buck hiding behind quotes such as “complied with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements” isn’t acceptable.”↗
29 Mar 2026Immigrationangry“🧵Let me get this straight A Chinese national, with a St Kitts and St Nevis passport, who is also a Cambodian citizen, wanted by the Chinese authorities, used 12 UK companies of which he is the sole shareholder and beneficiary to buy 85 luxury flats in London worth £81m and no red flags were raised.”↗
28 Mar 2026Agriculture & Rural Economycelebratory“This has created a more sustainable income and improved quality of life. Farming the land since the 1950s, the family are proud long-term custodians. Great to see lapwings and curlews return. A strong example of farming and nature working together.”↗
28 Mar 2026Agriculture & Rural Economymeasured“On Friday, met Richard and John from Yate Fold Farm on Chorley Old Road with Ann from Environment Bank to discuss how the farm has diversified since 2022. Beef cattle remain, while dairy has been replaced with biodiversity net gain, including wild flowers and shrubland.”↗
28 Mar 2026Local Governmentmeasured“In Westhoughton this morning with Cllr John McHugh & election candidate Christina Saunders discussing local priorities. Really good chats about a health hub for the town, an infrastructure first approach to development & increasing the national minimum wage.”↗
