>David Cameron is facing calls to disclose the businesses he was working for before being appointed as foreign secretary, after the **Foreign Office refused to reveal which jobs and clients he was giving up to take on the role.**
The former prime minister has had a series of jobs since he left No 10 in 2016, including lobbying the government on behalf of a controversial, now-collapsed, financial firm, Greensill, which led to a scandal over his influence.
He also worked for a gene-sequencing company, Illumina, which won a £123m government contract during the pandemic, and an AI firm, Afiniti, from which he resigned in 2021.
**”Foreign office refused to reveal which jobs and clients he was giving up to take on the role.” -** is there any legal basis for this? Can we call a fucking general election already, governments have been ousted for much less than this total display of impunity towards the British public.
In unrelated news, Pizza Express in Woking has a position available. NDA mandatory.
Why am I getting serious new labour, Gordon brown vibes nowadays. Feels like we’ve gone back in time, but everything’s way, way shitter.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he made an absolute mess of things (wherever he went).
Just look at who gets upcoming government contracts or benefits from any new Foreign Office policies and that should give you a good idea.
