British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being investigated by parliament's standards watchdog over whether he properly declared his wife's shareholding in a childcare company which stands to benefit from new government policy.

Parliament's Commissioner for Standards began the investigation over a "declaration of interest" on April 13, according to a list of open inquiries on its website on Monday.

"We are happy to assist the commissioner to clarify how this has been transparently declared as a ministerial interest," Sunak's spokesperson said, confirming the investigation was linked to the childcare firm. Sunak and Murthy are the richest ever occupants of 10 Downing Street. Murthy is the daughter of one of the founders of Indian IT giant Infosys and owns about 0.9% of the company, worth nearly $600 million based on Monday's share price.

The commissioner, who gave no details of the investigation, is responsible for the House of Commons code of conduct and investigates any alleged breaches.

Modern democracy from America to the UK is politicians milking the system, mass immigration, supporting wars, polarizing communities, gender politics, and a throwaway culture - Democracy is dead - indigenous working class had greater representation 90 years before in the UK

A big decipline uk house of parliament, and other side of the world they support nepotism in other parliament. Who is fooling who.

I didn't expect anything less from RishiSunak who hurriedly congratulated Bola Tinubu a convicted drug baron who inecnigeria foisted as president-select. Birds of a feather flock together. Rishi Sunak must step down as I'm 100% sure he will be found guilty. Cc: UKParliament

What do you expect form someone who congratulated Buhari

If only this was done in America

Dans chaque pays il y a un salaud à dégager. Aux peuples d'agir.

How's about taking a private jet to a climate summit. He could just use zoom like the rest of us. Like, lecture about a climate emergency, but make it worse. That's good leadership. How's that new world order he's planning? Kinda creepy.
