Culture Secretary breached governance code in appointing football watchdog chair
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy was found by a probe to have breached the code on public appointments by failing to declare she had received donations from her pick to chair the new football watchdog.
In a letter to Sir Keir Starmer, she apologised for “unknowingly” breaking the rules by not disclosing that David Kogan had given £2,900 to her leadership campaign in the 2020 race to succeed Jeremy Corbyn.
The Prime Minister replied that she had “acted in good faith”, but reprimanded her by saying “the process followed was not entirely up to the standard expected”.
It's "the process followed" again, but surely Sir Tier Starmer is being disingenuous here, even while sticking firmly to his own denial process.
It is clear enough that Lisa Nandy's pick for chair of the new football watchdog was well down to the standards expected from Sir Tier's government.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? what a country - everything has to be regulated (except the regulators).
The process was followed but democracy died.
Ian - and they won't stop regulating, don't know how.
DJ - yes, we haven't yet buried it but a pulse isn't detectable.
Ms Nandy is a fraud. She's the one who gushed about a school visit to the Commons and how that posh place was obviously not for northern unposh schoolgirls like her. She neglected to mention that her grandfather sat in the Lords.
dearieme - yes she is a fraud, compared to the vast majority of her constituents, she's posh.
