Hartlepool’s Conservative MP Jill Mortimer along with a number of other local Tory MP’s have seemingly refused to comment over donations received by a corporation currently ran by a Conservative Peer who sits in the house of lords.
Jill Mortimer won the Hartlepool "red wall" seat from the Labour Party with a significant majority
Ms Mortimer, who won the Hartlepool Constituency seat from the Labour Party in May 2021 is coming under increasing pressure to explain just why the donation fromthe company IX Wireless was received & what the money was used for, following the revelation of a number of MP’s found to have received hefty “donations” from numerous sources with increasing calls for more transparency to be made over the level of financial assistance given to some MP’s on both sides of the house by wealthy donors.
Ms Mortimer reportedly received £2500.00 in financial donations from the company IX Wireless, a company that’s paid out a number of donations to several serving Conservative MP’s.
The former Conservative MP was recently given a peerage to the unelected & controversial House of Lords
The company is reportedly owned by former Conservative MP & now Tory Peer James Wharton who is one of three directors of the company.
In total IX Wireless donated around £138,000 to a number of Conservative MP’s, one being Ms Mortimer herself…. Others who have gained from donations from IX Wireless have reported to have been
Darlington MP Peter Gibson Who recieved, £8k
Richard Holden, MP For North West Durham who recieved, £7.5k
Paul Howell, MP For Sedgefield, £7.5k
Matt Vickers, Stockton South MP, £7.5k
Ian Levy, Blyth MP, £5k
She cant have been given £5k to play bingo....... surely
Bit of fun...... but everyone thinks of the Carlton Club as a bingo hall..... turns out theres also a Conservative political comittie registered under a similar name...
In addition to the £2500.00 Ms Mortimer received from a company ran by a Tory Peer, the Hartlepool MP gained a further financial donation of £5,000 from the Carlton Club Political Committee registered in St James's Street, London SW1A 1PJ & is said to be an “elite private conservative members club”…..
Not the bingo hall as many of you might have thought.
The Mp's so called "fact finding" mission to Israel is raising questions over whether its was simply an all expenses paid holiday.....
A £3300.00 al expenses paid trip to Israel is raising questions over whether it was a business or a pleasure trip
But the Hartlepool Conservative MP is also coming under increasing pressure to explain just what “fact finding” she was undertaking when she accepted a £3300.00 donation consisting of an all-expenses paid trip to Israel’s West Bank in August 2022. The donation included the cost of air travel, accommodation & hospitality & was paid for under the company name “The Conservative Friends of Israel”.
None of the MP’s detailed in the donations reports have made any public statement to the press or media at the time this report went to publication.
