Want to have 30 minutes with a Tory Minister – it will cost you £2,500. Not only could you not make it up, you wouldn’t want to – disgusting:
“Private companies get cosy meetings with ministers, political parties get cold hard cash. Everyone’s a winner except the public, who are kept in the dark about who is attending these ‘business days’.
Perhaps we will have to start paying our MPs for us to attend their surgeries (if they ever bother to have them).
Interesting point on the original post:
What is not stated here, is where the money goes, and as they are Ministers of the Crown, the money should go to the state not the political party to which they belong. And I would very much like to see a legal challenge on this, as it is blatant corruption.
