So what would you like her to do? Give her inherited wealth away?
What would you do in her position?

One of my priorities should be improving my grammar...

One of mine is spending less time on GN whilst I am waiting for various appliances to finish…

There are major issues that we have to deal with right now. I don't have to list them everybody knows what they are.

But worrying because a company that the PM's wife might have an as-yet undefined amount of shares in a company that partnered with Fujitsu 20 years ago, is pretty low on my list of priorities.

I agree 👍

Hasn't she also got shares in a childcare company that is going to benefit from the increase in nursery provision.

Inunderstand from twitter that Sunak's wife has a 0.9% share in Infosys. That her family are no longer major shareholders and that her father doesn't run it. Also that she isn't going to make a killing from the profits from the small contract

I don't think that there's any doubt that Sunak's wife has shares in Infosys and the dividends give her a substantial income.

What I'm disputing is that Infosys had anything to do with the contract for the alarm. I've read the posts on Twitter, but I'm still unable to find an reliable source.

I have been having a quick look (waiting for washing machine to finish) and cannot find anything substantial, like you have posted just Twitter rumours.

A bit thin in my opinion.

I don't care for Akshata Murty, but she is an extremely wealthy woman, mostly inherited, and it would be difficult to find businesses in which some of the family wealth is not invested.
A very tenuous link at best.

Blimey, 0.9% is not indicative of a major shareholder

Gagajo I think your OP is misleading.

So... Sunday's emergency alarm test. Supplied by Infosys at a cost of millions to the British tax payer. Major shareholder Rishi Sunaks wife.

NOTHING this government ever does is for the good of the populace. It's only ever about lining their own pockets.

Really?
A major shareholder is someone who owns and controls more than 50% of a company's shares, not 0.9%.

Ashcombe I read loads of posts on Twitter claiming the same thing, but I was unable to find any reliable source of information.

I've been reading rumours about this all over Twitter. My first reaction was that, if true, it's truly shocking. But is it true? I spent some time yesterday looking for some proof and I couldn't find anything definitive. As far as I can tell, the contract was outsourced to Fujitsu. The allegation is that it was sub-contracted to Infosys, in which Sunak's wife has shares (her father founded the company), but I'm not sure that's true. Certainly, Infosys has done this kind of work in the past, but I don't know if there's any proof it was involved in the UK alarm. I stand to be corrected, if there's any proof, but until then, it's just a rumour as far as I can tell.
