David Cameron pocketed £7.5m (£3m pa) as a "consultant"
Jump to: Newest in thread
When a failed company is found to have made outrageously large contributions and benefits to an ex-prime minister for peddling influence and granting special access to the corridors of power, why is there no sanction?
Both Cameron and Blair - dodgy as they come. |

Fast forward a few years and BoJo will be even worse - this is worse than the expenses scandal.
They are paid a fair wage to do a job - no other fees, consulting or ‘training services’ should be allowed. Once they quit (or get fired!) being MPs, then they can’t play at being Consultants for:
MPs - 2 years
Ministers - 5 years
PMs - 10 years
Breaking the law then is a criminal offence… |

We cannot restrict what job they do once they stop being a Member of Parliament.

In fact we can - the problem is that those that could change the law won’t because it is way too lucrative… |

So we can't then, unless the law is changed. Which imo is ludicrous. |

Same for all companies, bank of Scotland paid out big bonuses and then went bust... etc etc... it's about time company directors get chased down like criminals and asset stripped. |

I'd make it a rule that no ex MP can do certain jobs thereafter. The whole thing's just far too open to corruption as things stand. As is proved time and time again. |
