Virgin Islands urged to prep for 'Hurricane Hodge'

ANTI-CORRUPTION

Later this month, assuming the sudden reshuffle of the United Kingdom government does not intervene, the Virgin Islands will receive a visitor on a mission. Baroness Margaret Hodge has had a long and dedicated political career in both local and national government in the UK. First elected to Parliament as the Labour MP for Barking in East London in 1994, she stepped down in 2024 and took a seat in the House of Lords, from which she now operates as the prime minister's "anti-corruption champion".
