LONDON — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is under investigation over allegations he failed to disclose shares his wife owns in a child care business that stands to benefit fromParliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg opened an inquiry last week for possible violations of the code of conduct that calls on members to be “open and frank” in declaring relevant financial interests, according to an update given to members of Parliament who returned Monday from Easter break.

Parliament requires members to disclose financial interests within four weeks of something they said or actions they took that may have been influenced by a financial interest. A Sunak spokesperson says he did not make a declaration as a member of parliament but had recorded a “ministerial interest,” the equivalent disclosure for government ministers.The government’s budget announced last month includes a massive expansion of free child care for working families with children from 9 months to 4 years old. The plan included financial incentives to people who joined the child care profession and doubled the incentive if it was done through a private agency.

ZohaWaseem That's really bad investment advice for the first lady of UK.

Does not matter.

😂 so change it again?

A Hindu pagan, in charge of the British empire Anglican Catholic ? Absurd

It seems the richer you get, the more corrupt you get.

Tip of iceberg 🧊 surfaced out ?

Oh we did this one in Aust. already for an MP. We decided on the specifics it was fine, I believe.

You can't make this garbage up!

The corruption never ends with the tories. They really are dirty from the ground up. Time to vote them out and try to rebuild this shambles of a country.

ZohaWaseem One more bites the dust

We have the same problem here with a corrupt Supreme Court Justice.

Thank goodness this happened in the UK. I'd hate to see a child care business run by Melania.

Why is it that every politician, current or former is under some type of investigation throughout the world ⁉️🙄

British people must be laughing when you compare to the overt corruption happening with US politicians vs this.

Lmao UK about to burn through another PM

The guy is worth nearly $1 billion - I think he's benefitting from a lot more than gov subsidized childcare
