    Now, when we say “linked”?

    That’s a little vague…

      Carousel Ventures, a company part-owned by Akshata Murty’s venture capital firm, got an investment of £250,000 from the Future Fund to help fund its ownership of a luxury underwear business called Heist Studios, it can be disclosed.

      It is the fourth business linked to Murty revealed to have received an investment from the fund set up by Sunak …

      None of Murty’s investments that benefited from the Future Fund appear publicly on Sunak’s register of ministerial interests.

      @essell, what exactly is vague here?

        There’s that word “linked” again.

        Seems clear that they’re saying he channelled public funds into his pockets, or at least his wife’s pockets, but prefer to use euphemism.

        Not able to come out and say that, they’re using the vague idea of a “link” do the work, which could mean a lot of different things.

        But why be specific about the nature of those links when you can allude to it and let people assume the worst version?

          You can’t be specific about the links in a single paragraph that is trying to summarise the similar problems for a range of companies.

          This isn’t a conspiracy, it’s how writing short pieces has to work.

            It’s a journalistic style of propaganda.

            That’s smart enough to know the people will read into what they write.

            It’s not like that newspapers bias isn’t well known and isn’t on full display here.

            Why do we need to resort to innuendo to get The Tories out?
