The Dirty Baker's Dozen: Tories in cash for representation scandal
MPs are paid are salary from the public purse to represent the public interests of the electorate.
There is a clash of interests if MPs are also being paid by the private sector to represent their private interests.
The Times has uncovered a scandal involving a mafia of Tory party parliamentary candidates who have already sold out to the private sector even before they have become MPs! They cannot represent the public while at the same time represent private companies. If they want a career in the private sector why are they even trying to become MPs? It is not to serve the public. Obviously, it is to line their own pockets. It is snouts in the trough all over again. They are obtaining their salaries by deception. This is a crime. MPs should only serve the public interest, not their own or business interests.
Below is a black list of Tory PPCs who should be avoided like the plague.
1. Margot James, the Conservative candidate for Stourbridge and a party vice-chairman
2. Priti Patel, the Conservative candidate for Witham
3. George Eustice, candidate for Camborne, Redruth & Hayle
4. Charlotte Leslie, candidate in Bristol North-West
5. Ben Jeffreys, the Tory candidate for Cheadle
6. Conor Burns, candidate for Bournemouth West
7. Penny Mordaunt, the candidate for Portsmouth North
8. Chris Heaton-Harris, candidate for Daventry
9. Oliver Colville, the candidate for Plymouth Sutton & Devonport
10. Tracey Crouch, the candidate for Chatham & Aylesford
11. Damian Collins, the candidate in Folkestone & Hythe,
12. Mark Clarke, the candidate for Tooting
13. Karl McCartney, the candidate for Lincoln
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
