Conservative MP Adam Afriyie has been made bankrupt after a judge heard he owed around £1m to HMRC and £700,000 to Barclays bank.
The Windsor MP had already announced he would be standing down at the next election, saying with Brexit "concluded" it was the "right time"."This has been ongoing for many years following business failures some time ago. "It'll be tough for a while, but I'm far from the only person in a difficult position, and I will continue to do my best to support my constituents until the next general election when I'll be standing down."
Judge Nicolas Briggs agreed concluding: "There have been six hearings already of this matter so time really has run out.
Probably getting sued sometime soon
Ok
Why is he still an MP?
Just another corrupt Tory declaring themselves bankrupt to save them paying money back!
Looks like his tory mates left him out of his PPE cut😉🤣🤣🤣
Under section 427 of the Insolvency Act 1986 a bankrupt is disqualified for election as a Member of Parliament, or, if already a Member, from sitting and voting. He has to go.
That qualifies him as the next Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Interesting. And the conservatives keep painting themselves as the 'responsible with money' party but all they do is short the £ and spaff money on crypto.
Still worth millions!!
There must be some rules against this amount of debt for any public servant . The opportunity for corruption is reason alone
This is why we shouldn’t trust Tories with our money
He'll be wanting another payrise soon
MP's should not be allowed another business due to conflicts of interest.
我在这里代表中国人民声明，要求中国共产党人和它的100万非法黑爹滚回非洲去。不要在祸害中国人了，中国是中国人民的中国，不是中国共产党的中国。中国人民没有共产党这种不孝子孙。滚回非洲去，别赖在中国。（骂我的共匪5毛是孙贼，是网八，是狗渣中）
I'm willing to bet it's all in his family's name now
You've got to be a special kind of incompetent to go bankrupt as an MP.
How TF can you go bankrupt as an MP?
im sure he'll find a way to expense it to the taxpayer
Whether you are for or against Brexit how can anyone think that it is concluded?
No doubt he's got an iPhone,flat screen TV etc etc just like all the benefit scroungers
If he goes to Lidl and buys 4 tins of spaghetti and a loaf of bread he can feed himself for a whole week!
Morally?
amandajs11 He sure looks underfed and hungry and destitute.
By-election then? No…? Why…?
ColossusVirgil4 But he keeps his job 😂
I bet plenty stashed away first or in someone else's name 'til it's all over.
Tories, party of the economy, of budgeting, of good spending. lmao
Most already are at least morally 🤷♂️
What he has this debt for?
Hope he gets kicked out of Parliament soon, so someone who really deserves it takes his job.
All Conservatives are bankrupt. Morally!
This isn't news, we know the whole party is morally bankrupt.
He must not have been in the circle of the PPE scam that the Tory lie about
Surprised he hasn’t had a stint as Chancellor.
I thought they were supposed to be the party of fiscal responsibility? 🤔
Obviously didn't get in on the previous contracts, totally negligent of him, should be kicked out
Hahahahaha
If you are a solicitor/lawyer and get declared bankrupt, you can't practice law. This man should be nowhere near parliament, his judgement is appalling.
Good lord, they must hate him if they didn't give him a few million in PPE contracts while doctors and nurses died.
Aren’t all Tory MPs morally bankrupt?
I thought he’d of been named Chancellor by now?
Will he be recalled then?
Don't get me wrong here, but who gives a fuck?
Don't worry guys, he's got millions stashed away, also a large house in Westminster and an old rectory in Windsor.... unbelievable
gj1023 Needs to cancel Netflix and, use an older phone buy less take away coffee. That’ll sort it fairly quickly
He should’ve claimed more in expenses, got a second job, taken bungs or had more mates with dodgy PPE businesses.
Declaring bankruptcy for convenience….similar to buying a shit load of useless PPE that then gets written off by our corrupt Government!
Another tory crook
Just not enough gravy to go around
This puts him an position to be bribed for all kinds of local and national issues. He is comprimised and has to be sacked.
No doubt the PPE bungs and other bribes are hidden in accounts overseas.
Samsoprano30 And still in his seat!
A fnuking Tory owed the government £1m ? No wonder this country is fnuked
resign and bye election then......
£16M house only a few years ago! 😂
I’m sure RishiSunak can give him a sun. Or maybe he could set up a PPE company. therewasnoparty
Perhaps he should have been in the PPE business, he'd be swimming in money.....

Thoughts and prayers...
The fiscally responsible Tory party member
By-election please.
Isn't it a rule that they can't be an MP is they are declared bankrupt?
Never heard of him
Like the country 🦁🇬🇧🦁
Can’t he level up?
Should’ve pledged to supply PPE.
'ToRiEs ArE fInAnCiAlLy ReSpOnSiBlE' 🙃🤣🤣🤣🤡
