BoJo Launches Investigation Into Cameron’s Lobbying On Behalf Of Greensill
TYLER DURDEN, 13 April 2021
For British PM Boris Johnson, the fallout from the collapse of Greensill has been akin to being gifted a golden saucer filled with excrement. At the time, BoJo apparently didn’t see anything wrong with facilitating the lobbying objectives of one of his predecessors, former PM David Cameron. But now that the British tabloid press has sicced the hounds on the PM, he has apparently realized it’s time for some damage control.
To wit, the FT reports that Downing Street and the Cabinet Office have launched a wide-ranging investigation after acknowledging that there was “significant interest in this matter.”
What’s more, leaders fro the opposition Labour Party accused the Tories of launching yet “another cover-up” and said the party “can’t be trusted to yet again mark their own homework”.
Rachel Reeves, the shadow Cabinet Office minister, said that “just as with the inquiry into Priti Patel’s alleged bullying, this is another Conservative government attempt to push bad behaviour into the long grass and hope the British public forgets.” She added:
“We need answers on Greensill now – that means key players in this cronyism scandal like David Cameron, Rishi Sunak and Matt Hancock appearing openly in front of parliament as soon as possible to answer questions.”
