He was representing a Northern Irish company owned by a multimillionaire Tory while claiming to represent his area. No wonder Boris saw him as his kinda guy!
Outside of cruel world of politics... Let's see.. Mmmm... Let's see... Cruel world of politics... Packed his pockets with corrupted money... It was not cruel untill it been publicly revealed????!!!!! My gosh
Still thinks he's innocent. Wants to clear his name. He needs to step up, hand the money back and admit he's wrong. What a privaledged confident product of our private schools.
'...thousands of pounds...' um, don't you mean hundreds of thousands of pounds? I know it's only a matter of another zero at source, but still, Laura at least pretend to be reporting the truth...
Interesting to see all of this. Peston is as hopeless as Keunnsberg when it comes to reaction to events like this - he is so ineffective and lacking in presence. Both represent the horrific lack of quality in senior political media positions.
isnt it corrupt ? u bet it is just think wat would be being said if it was the labour party which i dont support either! he hopes no other mp has to go through wat him nd his family has gone thru pretty ovious dont be dodgey
At the time Owen Paterson’s fellow Tory MPs including himself said He’d done nothing wrong , they were adamant his role with the company paying him a yearly figure of around £100,00 didn’t involve his position as a Government MP , nor did it ever influence a single Government decision, If they were telling the truth I wonder if he is still receiving the same amount of money from the same company now he’s no longer a Government MP ? Hmmm
I expect we'll see Boris collaborate with Trump soon, and open branches of Boris University, with such courses as Become Rich by Peddling Influence and Lying for Personal Profit.
