Default David Cameron investigated by lobbying watchdog he set up himself

[Ex-prime minister David Cameron is being
investigated by the lobbying watchdog he
set up himself while in Downing Street.
It has been confirmed Harry Rich,
the Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists,
is looking into whether Mr Cameron
"engaged in unregistered consultant lobbying".

The probe follows recent allegations the
ex-premier contacted Chancellor Rishi Sunak
on his private phone as par
t of an effort to secure access to a
government-backed COVID loans
scheme for Greensill Capital.]


Fine Cameron the £7,000 he is due.

£7,000 ?? He’s a multi millionaire.

Jail him ... it all sounds very dodgy

If only Blair had set up a war crime tribunal, that would have been hilar.

Couldn't get a more uninteresting story if you tried, with zero cut through to the general public

just about every former mp has used their connections to lobby on behalf of others. That's how politics works. That's why the term lobbyist exists

He's a tory, and the British public that vote them in time and time again are doormats that allow tories to trample all over them. Nothing will happen with him, because the tory loving public will refuse to hold him accountable.

This kind of thing is widespread in politics like Bots said, and they should ALL be challenged, every one of them, whatever colour their politics. There's enough to do without spending endless time and resources carrying on a "he said she said" to and fro whenever someone does something reprehensible. Make an example of one of them... Cameron, for instance. As a Tory, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Clever of Johnson to say this
As Tomorrow's "Normal" Parliament
Labour and SNP
can demand what he says he will do.
