The CEO of one of Infosys' other major clients, Shell, also joined Rishi Sunak's new business council two weeks ago.

A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

And here I, a public employee, have to take an ethics course each year and cannot accept gifts over $50 (sorry, am American).
- cannot get caught accepting gifts over $50
  
  FTFY
  
  JK, you have to already rich to be allowed to accept ~~bribes~~ gifts.
  
  The part they leave off is you can't accept gifts over $50 or under $10,000, after that it becomes lobbying so that's all fine
- In the private sector the fuckers make every damn line staff down to the new janitorial intern take a course on insider trading ...as if anyone but the fucking executive suite and board of directors has the money to buy the company's stock in the first place, and secondly NONE of those people are privy to market-making news. Abysmally backward.
  
  If anybody ever offers me some money to betray the company I work for I'm 100% going to take it. What do I care, they have consistently failed to give a raise in the last 2 years
What a weird coincidence! What are the chances?
- Brazilians looking to their 2/3 of center right and right wing politicians: first time?
  
  Turkish people hanging on the next noose: Such a lovely day and ordinary day, isn't it?
Hes such a weasel. Of course nothing will be done cause he is one of the privileged few.
Things like this should ruin a career and tarnish a name.
- Well it does. He just doesn't care because he doesn't really have a reputable name to begin with.
That's a whole new level of corruption.
It’s completely above board. /s
I'm sure this is just a coincidence
The article is dated 01/08/2023, it doesn't seem so recent...
- Scary that this didn't create waves in the month and a half since.
  
  It did. Lots of times. I've seen this headline multiple times. People don't seem to care.
~~Biden~~ Sunak Crime Family
