I have prepared one of my own time capsules. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like. |

Abortion is permitted in Indonesia in cases where a woman has been raped something JRM is opposed to. Isn't that a too high a standard to hold people too? For example, is it wrong for someone opposed to nuclear weapons to hold government bonds?

Just to be absolutely clear Rees-Mogg has full control over where he chooses to invest his money and yet he is still a minority shareholder in an investment company that has a minority shareholding in an Indonesian pharmaceutical company that makes pills to treat stomach ulcers but which are known to trigger terminations and therefore used by some illegal abortion clinics EFA

As far as I am aware the CoE's main role is not in financial investments. Mr Rees Mogg's business is direct investments into specific companies. And these are closely managed: At the core of Somerset’s philosophy lies a belief in transparency. We are open about our ownership structure and our portfolios. Uniquely, we invite key clients to join an advisory board which meets annually, encouraging an effective alignment of interest between the partnership and our investors. To me the words alignment of interest are fascinating.

And these are closely managed: Whoever is employed by CoE to manage their investments will have been given guidelines to follow and Wonga will either have been deemed an acceptable investment or else the investment manager acted outside of his guidelines. Somerset Capital may well be closely managed but not by Mr Rees-Mogg who has played no part in investment decisions since 2010

A firm awarded a government contract to provide extra ferry services has used website terms and conditions apparently intended for a takeaway food firm. Seaborne Freight was given the £13.8m contract to run a freight service between Ramsgate and Ostend in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Its original terms and conditions advised customers to check goods before "agreeing to pay for any meal/order". Not bad eh 13.8 millions upfront, only one thing could be happening here. They will do a runner. Brexit means brexit.
