The Hands Lecture: Something rotten in the state - corruption and the fight for human rights
This is Mansfield College’s annual Hands Lecture in politics and current affairs, this year given by Chris Bryant, Labour MP for Rhondda, Chair of the Parliamentary Standards Committee, and alumnus of Mansfield College.
The UK often preaches about corruption and human rights abuses overseas, but Chris Bryant will encourage the UK to get its own house in order, looking at how ‘golden visas’, weak financial regulation, poor political analysis and powerful UK law and accountancy firms have enabled authoritarian regimes like Russia to play us for fools – and how successive recent moves have undermined the UK’s reputation for the rule of law.
