@mikegalsworthy Books about Tory corruption can now be written. When will they be stopped?
@mikegalsworthy very serendipitous and not at all related I'm sure 🙄

@mikegalsworthy

Who should be investigating and who would prosecute? This is such a grey area.
Who in government has signed off this contract?
Johnson needs to be called out for this. It's not alright.

@mikegalsworthy We urgently need 100% state-funding of politics. No gifts, no favours, no bungs, no donations and no expensive entertainment. We also need a complete muck-out of the lobbying system. These rules need to be carefully policed and fully enforced as an absolute priority. Currently, political influence is unashamedly for sale on the open market and nobody seems to bat an eyelid. Remove money from the system and the mainstream political parties would be disempowered.

@mikegalsworthy
Tory corruption is now overt. They are scornful of the British public, and take them for fools. We will be fools if we tolerate it much longer.

@mikegalsworthy there is a strong whiff of corruption in that story
@mikegalsworthy hmm.. well well well..would I say I’m surprised?..🙄nope .. not really…sigh..
@mikegalsworthy no connection whatsoever, pure coincidence…..
@mikegalsworthy move on nothing to see here, is what they will say, yet another disgraceful show of contempt for the British people by the elites
@mikegalsworthy I can't keep up. There are now so many scandals, accusations, enquiries, so many lies, so many redactions and cover-ups it's impossible to keep track of it all. #ToriesLie #ToriesOut
@mikegalsworthy great law firm called the good law project are trying to hold them accountable! They sure need support!
@mikegalsworthy And how many other piggies have their snouts in the trough? Not to mention squirreling away vast amounts of undeclared dosh in offshore funds! Does HMRC really bother or are they complicit in this monetary merry-go-round?
@mikegalsworthy No hiding corruption anymore, is there? Same here in the States with crooked Republicans.
@mikegalsworthy You see kids, if you study hard, work hard, and donate £1m to a well-connected Tory, you too can succeed in the UK...
