Why wasn’t there security on the device? My works devices are password protected and it’s a disciplinary offence if I share passwords or give unauthorized access.
If he gave them the login creds, then he should be penalised .
If he logged in and gave the device to non parliamentary staff, he should also be penalised.
He got caught because it cost money, which is the lesser offence. Cyber security should be more robust for ministers than it is for most companies, but seemingly not.
The amount of times I’ve told clients to change their SIM or not take their work phone abroad only to be ignored like usual, and get called on their return saying “what the hell!?”
We notified them, but just like all MSPs (managed service providers) CEOs or important members will just ignore us or criticise our advice.
Now he wants to blame his family who shouldn’t even have access as you mentioned. If it’s his mistake, he allowed it to happen with warning, and he gave this to a family member unsecured, surely he should be held entirely accountable?
Nope. Politicians breaking all the rules we would get sacked for in an instant at work, or even arrested.
Great standards for us lowly law abiding poor folk. An 11k phone bill would kill me; I guess my taxes will pay for his mistake then.
I’m so confused how he doesn’t feel like he needs to pay that? I can’t figure out how in the fucking world what I’d need to say or do or think to avoid being responsible for that?
It’s surely simple for him to figure out. Goes to show how warped morals are being protected here.

Ever watched porn while roaming outside of your mobile plan. Shit adds up fast.
Fuck mobile operators, this kind of cost should be illegal to exist at all.
“He failed to properly disclose”, that’s one way of saying that he bareface lied.
Its OK though he’s going to pay some of it himself so that the tax payer only has to cough up £8k.
He should be forced to pay it all and sacked.
