Eleven shadow ministers benefited from donors' 'secret' cash

Eleven shadow ministers benefited from donors' 'secret' cash

"The scale of secret cash links between senior Conservatives and wealthy backers was revealed yesterday after George Osborne was told that he should have declared how his office was being funded. The Shadow Chancellor was the subject of a parliamentary investigation after it emerged that he failed to register almost £500,000 in donations. Donors had given the money to the Conservative Party but asked that it be used to bankroll Mr Osborne".

Don't you just get fed up of all this snouts in the trough? When they are getting bank-rolled by the people and organisations with an interest in a favourable decision then it amounts to corruption. This negates good faith. George Osborne is an out and out crook.

A victory for the people

"Most MPs are honest and some are frugal. But others have been racketeering on a scale that must be exposed"

Call me cynical, but I don't believe that most MPs are honest. I suspect that the vast majority are anything but. In a barrel of rotten apples we may find the odd good apple.
