paddyanne, I hope your DIL’s medical problems have settled down and all will be well.

If this thread is on Facebook I definitely want it deleted. Who on earth would have put it on Facebook? Is it allowed under the terms and conditions to be reproduced on another site?

I also saw it in The National (online) but it's been removed.
Whenever l see something in The National that proves to be inaccurate l wonder what news it's trying to deflect
In this case Humza breaking the ministerial code?
That's my conspiracy theory of the day.
I hope this thread is removed.

Obviously Twitter X person has got this wrong, as has OP.

Note that in the Budget speech, Hunt said exactly this:

Making changes on the scale we need is not cheap. The investment needed to modernise NHS IT systems so they are as good as the best in the world costs £3.4bn.

But it helps unlock £35bn of savings, ten times that amount.

There's spurious tweets on X mainly saying the sum (35 billion) is a mistake/fabrication

This Gransnet discussion is now on Facebook

The only reference l can find was 3 days ago on Facebook - the claim is unreferenced.

Meaning?

Mrs Sunak’s family are not major shareholders in Infosys and there is no evidence of a £35bn contract Paddy. You say you got this information from a news site but nobody else has found that site. What site is it? Do you accept that Infosys did not ‘go under’ after receiving furlough money?

As regards Infosys being ‘partnered with’ Fujitsu, companies frequently enter into joint venture arrangements for projects - however Mrs Sunak and her family don’t have a controlling interest in Infosys and are not in a position to direct what it does. I own a lot of shares but I don’t control the companies.

Indeed, but you aren't the PM's wife either.

OK, to update my previous post. Infosys is partnered with Fujitsu and has been since 2003. Mrs Sunak received £6.7 million in dividends from her shares in that company in 2023.

Meanwhile the vilified postmasters will probably die without a penny.

Well I'm sure the Sunaks will be the first to remind us that we're all in it together.

Sorry about the medical emergency, I hope all is well.
Could we have the evidence ?

Sorry a medical emergency with my DIL's pregnancy has kept me away,
The information I got was on a news site,I hold my hand up to the fact Mrs Sunak ONLY has 1% but her family are major shareholders and 1% of 35BILLION is still a fair amount of cash,so its a nice wee earner for daddy and ,money in the kitty for them when daddy pops his clogs.
I thought giving contraccts to family was unethical...oops its the tories...nothing is ever ethical with them!!

I believe (but will google shortly) that Infosys is something to do with Fujitsu who developed the disastrous Horizon system.

I am going to check this though, before I get flamed.

what!!!! no wonder they won't have a general election!!!! disgusting

FGS, RTFT! Don’t just read the heading and OP.

Spabbygirl No one has been able to find out anything to support this claim and the OP is not responding eithe.

Quite simply it is fake news.

Where are you PaddyAnne?

I think she lit the blue touch paper and retired to a safe distance 😆

Dinahmo Fujitsu was a British company n the UK. Fujitsu UK is the old British company ICL.

AsMOnica has pointed out above, there is a ministerial code to be adhered to. However, most importantly, not a shred of evidence has been supplied to support the allegation of the contract referred to by the OP.

He doesn’t own the company

Narayana Murty was a co-founder of infosys. His wife provided the capital for the startup.
No doubt what Sunak's wife stands to 'earn' from the company is mere chickenfeed to the Sunaks but it still raises a concern over conflicts of interest.

I thought that the UK was a firm supporter of Ukraine; to be doing business with a company that is trading with Russia is not a good look.
