When he was asked by @NickyMorgan01 about meeting the whistle-blowers who alleged signature forgery @NatWestGroup he made out he didn't know who they were.
He had been interacting personally with @Nat_Worst for months at that point & had the name of the signature forgery trainer in his 'in box' 3 times over.
The man is a liar & in my view a sociopath who would push any whistle-blower in front of a train to protect corrupt banks & the City...

When he was CEO of FCA, Andrew Bailey wrote to me & said he took the HSBC fraud I had reported so seriously he had asked for monthly updates. When the Treasury Committee asked him the current situation he said he had no idea & would have to check.

No rhyme or reason how the FBI/DOJ comes up with its headline or further down the line "Fraud" numbers. They literally just make them up many times. Makes great headlines, but as far as honesty or justice goes? They could not care any less.
The lies were brutal.

Cat Little says the Cabinet Office will aim to finish the release before Parliament rises on 17 December. Some papers will still be withheld at the Met's request, and others redacted.

***EXCLUSIVE***
Democrats are preparing to use their new power in Congress to force the DoJ to hand over the unredacted Epstein files needed by Scotland Yard to pursue a case against Lord Mandelson, @Telegraph can reveal.
The party plans to use its incoming control of Congress to compel the release of documents that could prove crucial to bringing criminal charges against the former ambassador.
Democrats are also planning a renewed push to summon Lord Mandelson before Congress to answer questions about his links to Jeffrey Epstein, after he rebuffed previous invitations to give evidence, sources said.
The intervention could throw a lifeline to Scotland Yard’s investigation, which has stalled amid delays by the Justice Department in handing over the original documents.

HE APPEALED FROM DUBAI. HE LOST.
Court of Appeal upholds Arif Patel’s £90.5m confiscation order.
£33.4m stolen via VAT carousel fraud. 20-year sentence. Still hasn’t served a day.
Judgment: lived “very comfortably” in the UAE for 15 years with no identified means of support.
I've been investigating one of the country's most prolific tax fraudsters who is on the run in Dubai. Arif Patel, from Preston, stole tens of million of pounds which he's used to fund his lavish life. Latest story is out today...bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmg4…

Today @LawGazette quotes our founder @EdwardRomain on the government’s review of legal regulation.
His point: the review never mentions the SRA, sets no date and offers no money. For anyone whose report about a solicitor was closed this week, it changes nothing.
We will change - but it will cost you, says Legal Services Board:

ONE EMAIL. THAT'S THE RECORD.
FOI: @TheFCA held one email on appointing Lea Paterson to review its handling of whistleblower Simon Andriesz @SAndriesz.
@johnmcdonnellMP: either one person decided, or the board kept no record..
Who decided?

This is EP120, the post FOS responded to six days after I exposed the delay. It then gave me a firm delivery date, and my files arrived early.
Public pressure worked for me. FOS, now give Maria Belen Montero-Cowell @mariabelensus her files.
nitter.cf/ArturNadol7566/status/…
Thank you, Artur. Until proven otherwise I suspect, like the Ministry of Justice (who took almost 7 years to partially comply with my DSAR) the FOS are not complying as they would expose their own criminality.
I WENT PUBLIC. FOS SENT MY FILES. NOW GIVE MARIA HER FILES
The Financial Ombudsman Service @financialombuds missed the deadlines on two requests for personal data. Mine and Maria Belen Montero-Cowell’s @mariabelensus.
FOS admitted both delays in writing. The same supervisor ........ ......... signed both final responses.
My reference is SR01014855.
Maria’s references are SR01012395 and SR01063076.
I asked for my data on 18 April 2026. FOS identified around 12,800 pages across three complaints.
It took a two-month extension for complexity and set a deadline of 20 July...
On 8 September, my legal representatives @MeridianLegals sent a formal notice.
FOS replied on 11 September. It blamed staffing shortages and rising requests. It offered an update at the end of October, with no delivery date.
It also apologised for failing to tell me about the staffing shortage when it acknowledged my request in April.
Then I went public.
On 19 September, I published EP120 and challenged FOS over its failure to meet the legal deadline.
Six days later, FOS replied directly to my online campaign. It admitted that it had not processed my request within the expected timeframe.
This time, it gave a firm delivery date. 29 October.
My files arrived on 9 October, 20 days before that date. Almost six months after I requested them.
In my view, public exposure worked.
A formal legal notice brought a reply with no delivery date. My public criticism was followed by a firm date and then disclosure.
Now look at Maria’s case.
She requested her data on 13 April. FOS took a two-month extension and set a deadline of 17 July.
On 30 October, 105 days after that deadline, FOS sent its final response.
No file. Just a promise of another update by 30 November.
An update does not give Maria access to her data.
..... ......, FOS Information Rights Supervisor, signed both final responses. The wording is almost identical.
Across the letters, FOS cites complexity, redactions, legal exemptions, different systems, staffing shortages, rising demand, AI-assisted requests and a backlog.
Some of those tasks may explain complexity. They do not allow FOS to keep extending the deadline indefinitely.
The normal deadline is one month. Article 12(3) allows up to two further months where necessary because of complexity or multiple requests from the same person.
FOS used that extension and still missed both deadlines.
On the dates FOS itself gave us, this is a clear breach of the legal response deadline.
Receiving my files did not resolve everything either.
FOS withheld information supplied by the business in confidence. It cited an exemption relating to its regulatory functions and refused to tell my representatives how many pages it had withheld.
How can I properly challenge the handling of my complaint if I cannot examine information the business supplied about it?
FOS exists to judge whether banks and insurers treated people fairly. It must answer for its own conduct too.
Maria’s continued wait is a disgrace.
FOS, provide the personal data Maria is entitled to receive without further delay. Explain any lawful withholding. Give her a firm delivery date for anything outstanding.
Her references are SR01012395 and SR01063076.
Another promise of an update is unacceptable. She asked for her data in April. Your extended deadline expired in July.
She should not have to campaign publicly to make you meet your legal obligations.
If FOS missed your subject access deadline, please share when you applied, the deadline it gave you and when your data arrived.

🚨 The Bank of England lost almost £17 BILLION of taxpayers’ money last year.
That comes directly from the National Audit Office.
That’s almost £46 MILLION every single day.
Here’s how absurd this is.
Imagine borrowing £100 at 5% interest… to invest in something paying just 1%.
You pay £5. You receive £1. You LOSE £4.
Now imagine doing that with HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of pounds.
And who picks up the bill? Taxpayers.
The NAO report estimates total losses could reach £146bn!
That’s £146 BILLION that could otherwise go towards hospitals, schools, policing or lower taxes.
Yet we constantly told that there isn’t enough money….
…Maybe if the Bank of England wasn’t losing tens of billions each year, there might be enough.
Our tax money is a joke to these people.

Millions of people are told to take their complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service when an insurer says no. It is meant to be the fair, independent last stop.
My documents show something else. An insurer fabricated files and invented narratives. In my view FOS then repeated that story as its own.
Its investigator tried to decide what the real Ombudsman can read and skipped the evidence that proves the insurer wrong. FOS also held back from my DSAR what the insurers sent to it.
If this can happen to a claim backed by 124 episodes of published documents, think about everyone who has no platform, no legal team and no way to show their file.
This is in the public interest.
Every page is public, so check it yourself.
Share it with anyone who has an insurance claim, a complaint or a policy.
@financialombuds @TheFCA @ICONews @UKSFO the public is watching.

Failed DOJ/FBI retaliation. I was so lucky I had an aggressive lawyer to shut this bullshit right down. Most people just get sucked into the meat grinder and never find their way out. I feel for them.
After 'Target' published, I got call from NY probation dept saying I broke parole and had 12hrs to report to NJ probation. I thought NJ guy was going to beat the shit out of me. Threatened me w/ jail and to wire(?) me up. My lawyers shut it right down👍👍

🚨 Palantir entered the NHS for £1 during Covid.
Then it became a £23.5mn contract.
Then a £330mn contract.
Now ministers admit it is so deeply embedded that removing it would be too disruptive.
Whatever the original intention, this is textbook vendor lock-in: the customer becomes dependent upon the supplier, and dependency becomes the supplier’s greatest protection.
The proposed two-year extension must therefore be treated as an emergency extraction period, not another comfortable renewal.
During that time, the government must require:
• complete data portability and open standards;
• independent access to the system architecture;
• transfer of knowledge and skills to the NHS;
• a tested migration plan with firm deadlines;
• government step-in rights; and
• a procurement process that is not designed around Palantir’s existing product.
Palantir must not be allowed to shape the problem, define the requirements and then win again because only Palantir can satisfy them.
And calling the replacement “British” is meaningless unless Britain controls its intellectual property, technology and future development.
A £1 foothold has become national dependency.
That is not sovereignty and it is precisely why sovereignty is now necessary.

THE WHISTLEBLOWER WHO WENT TO PRISON
Colin Wallace was a psychological warfare officer for British Army Intelligence in Belfast. In 1974 he wrote a memo telling his superiors that boys at Kincora Boys Home were being systematically abused and some were being supplied to prominent unionist figures. He wanted out of a dirty tricks operation called Clockwork Orange and he wanted something done about Kincora.
Nothing was done. The housemaster running the abuse, William McGrath, was already known to MI5. He led a loyalist paramilitary group called Tara and by multiple accounts he was an intelligence asset. MI5 monitored the abusers instead of stopping them.
Fellow intelligence officer Brian Gemmell later confirmed he was personally ordered by MI5 officer Ian Cameron to drop his own Kincora investigation in 1975.
Wallace kept pushing. He got sacked from his job in 1975. In 1980 he was convicted of manslaughter after a colleague's husband was killed. Evidence used against him at trial came partly from an anonymous American security source, according to a Home Office pathologist. He served 6 years. The conviction was quashed in 1996 once new forensic evidence emerged.
McGrath was eventually jailed in 1981 after the Irish Independent broke the Kincora story publicly, years after Wallace first raised the alarm internally. The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry under Sir Anthony Hart reported in 2017 and criticised MI5 for obstructing police and destroying Kincora files, while somehow finding no fault in the actual cover up. Convenient.
In 2020 it emerged that police records on Kincora from 1980 to 1983 had been destroyed right around the time that inquiry was set up. In 2023 Wallace's own military service file went missing, the same year his lawyers filed a High Court case against the Ministry of Defence for negligence, misfeasance in public office and deceit. That case is still ongoing.
Fifty years and counting. A man tries to stop child abuse and gets convicted of murder for his trouble. The institutions responsible get to lose the paperwork and call it a filing error.

The SRA says it is changing the system.
We intend to hold it to that.
