«Breaking News» Theresa May is accused of 'hypocrisy' over Jamal Khashogg murder

UK officials flew to Saudi Arabia during an investment conference just days after the brutal murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October. 

While the senior officials from the Department of International Trade and the Home Office didn't actually enter the conference, they were 'on the fringes' and held secretive meetings with business men in nearby hotels. 

Theresa May had expressly said that no UK representatives or ministers would attend the three-day event in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.   

Officials and business personnel from all over the world, supposed to include UK officials, pulled out of conference in Saudi Arabia in the midst of the controversy over Khashoggi death

She said in the Commons in October: 'No minister or official is attending the investment conference in Saudi Arabia.

'And the Home Secretary is taking action against all suspects to prevent them entering the UK.

'If these individuals currently have visas, those visas will be revoked today.'  

While no UK official actually entered the Future Investment Initiative conference, The Mirror are reporting that officials definitely travelled to the oil-rich state and acted on the fringes from nearby hotels and restaurants.

Theresa May,pictured here with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, had said no UK official would travel to the conference in Saudi Arabia over concerns around the killing 

They reported that officials included Simon Penney, Trade Secretary Liam Fox's Trade Commissioner for the Middle East.   

The UK's secretary of state for international trade was supposed to have pulled out of the conference, nicknamed 'Davos in the Desert', which ran from 22-25 October amid concern over Khashoggi's disappearance.

British officials had said Liam Fox decided it was not 'the right time' and urged Saudi leaders to conduct a 'credible' investigation into the case surrounding Mr Khashoggi.

A spokesman from Dr Fox's department added at the time: 'We encourage Turkish-Saudi collaboration and look forward to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia conducting a thorough, credible, transparent, and prompt investigation, as announced. 

Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry blasted UK's attendance, calling it 'hypocritical'

'Those bearing responsibility for his disappearance must be held to account.'

Labour has called the revelations 'disgusting' while Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry told The Mirror the clandestine deals were 'typical of the government's hypocrisy over the Khashoggi murder'. 

The conference, which hosted officials from all over the world, saw £40 billion worth of deals signed with Saudi Arabia when the uproar over Khashoggi's killing and dismemberment was at its peak. 

Google, HP and Uber were among around 40 huge companies and participants that pulled out of the conference in the wake of the killing.  

The Shadow Foreign Secretary also told The Mirror that the government have a 'loudly expressed determination to find out who ordered this killing' but it 'goes out the window the more the evidence points to Crown Prince bin Salman.'

She had previously called on Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt to suspend UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia as well as imposing fines on those found responsible for the journalist's death.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
