The Sunday Times reports today about some “smart” Labour cabinet ministers using his government contacts to change policies in favour of businesses.
WOW!
Raising hell just two months before the next UK’s general election campaign.
Watch in the video how Stephen Byers, former trade and transport secretary, secretly recorded by an undercover repoter of the paper, offers himself “like a sort of cab for hire” for up £5,000 a day.
Amazing!
And, the por soul, also suggested bringing Tony Blair to meet clients…
The Sunday Times undercover reporter posed as a company executive looking to hire MPs for lobbying work.
The interviews were part of a joint investigation by Rupert Murdoch’s newspaper and Channel 4’s Dispatches programme in which 13 Labour MPs and seven Conservatives were approached.
Well, another example of the classic “Publish and be Damned!”
It works.
It sells newspapers.
And makes (corrupted) politicians go crazy.
Journalism 101.
Tis is why the Sunday Times is a best-selling newspaper.
