The article I saw didn't explain how a well paid MP got himself into such debt which is a pity. However Cryst is correct if you are owed money by this MP it would be better to see if he can pay it off than for him to be declared bankrupt and you see nothing.

On the subject of bankruptcy some people on low incomes deliberately run up debt and then declare bankruptcy. As they live in rented accommodation and have no assets it has no impact on their lives.

Three people who are friends did this and what was their debt? Food bills? Housing costs? Utility bills?

No, luxury goods on tick, IPhone's, TV's, Game consoles etc one of the three has been made bankrupt 3 time and yet nobody seems to question the type of debt they incurred. And why luxury goods? Well they would buy a phone on tick sell it for cash and then knock the phone company.

For balance I worked for a good lady who lost her business when the franchise collapsed even through her store was making money. She lost her home and all her money it had a massive impact on her life. To dig herself out of a hole she applied for her old job at the bank our boss had to get the board to sign off on her because she was a bankrupt if it wasn't for his persistence it wouldn't have happened.

Do you live by a crack house/flat?

What was the franchise?

No these are now former friends (Lewisham) they tried to keep it quiet but it leaked out they knew I wouldn't approve.

The franchise was a wedding shop, that is a warning to anyone considering buying one. If the Franchise / Holding company /HO goes bust so do you.

The amount of fraud that doesn’t get investigated. Deliveries using stolen/cloned credit card details

Wedding dress business goes bust. Should’ve invested in a brasserie instead.

Trying to sell wedding dresses to people in a country during the last 2 years of covid / lockdown must have been frustrating.

Seems like an over the top sentence considering what happens elsewhere.

Actually I never said when this happened I think about 10-15 years ago. She had a shop in Bromley that was doing well but when the parent in a franchise goes bust you are up the creek without a paddle.

It's one of the ironies if you ever buy a franchise they want to know if you are financially sound most people don't think to ask what about you? I am giving you hundreds of thousand of pounds how do I know you wont go bust.

Boris takes credit for helping pensioner.

Boris Johnson boasted that he "introduced the freedom bus pass" when confronted with the story of a poverty-hit pensioner who rides buses to keep warm.

The Prime Minister gave a car crash interview to ITV's Good Morning Britain on Monday and was repeatedly pressed over Britain's cost of living crisis.

He admitted Chancellor Rishi Sunak's £9bn would fail to help all Brits struggling with their bills as inflation and rising food and energy prices clobber households.

Presenter Susanna Reid pushed him on the shaming case of a 77-year-old viewer called Elsie, who has seen her energy bill increase from £17 to £85 a month, has cut down to one meal a day and travels on buses all day to stay out of the house and reduce her bills.

Asked what Elsie should cut down on, Ms Reid warned the pensioner was "losing weight", before the PM replied: “The 24-hour freedom bus pass was actually something that I actually introduced.”

Well-played Boris
