Demand for investigation into David Cameron’s appointment as Foreign Secretary, given lobbying and China links

3 comments

1. • The Liberal Democrats’ Wendy Chamberlain has raised five key questions in a letter to the ethics advisor, Laurie Magnus.

   • These include whether Cameron will be publishing a full list of ministerial interests as soon as he is appointed, and if he will be placing his investments into a blind trust to prevent conflicts of interest.

   • The letter also asks whether Cameron will come clean over any of his recent lobbying work, including work involving foreign governments such as China.

   • The letter calls for clarity over whether Cameron will recuse himself from any Cabinet discussions on decisions related to his recent and current financial interests, including on the Greensill scandal. This could include extradition requests related to the various ongoing international criminal investigations into Greensill including in Switzerland and Germany.

   • Cameron was previously accused of lobbying for Greensill Capital to secure Government support after leaving office. The firm collapsed owing millions to creditors, while a 2021 estimate for Parliament put the cost to UK taxpayers at up to £5 billion.

   • A subsequent BBC Panorama investigation claimed that, through his salary and share sales, Cameron earned around $10 million before tax for just 30 months of part-time work.

2. He has don’t alot of work for China including massive $3b port deal for China in Sri Lanka.

   Must of got a decent kickback from this.

3. He was massively into forging relationships with China while PM, let alone after he quit the job. No one should be shocked that he has such links when he has not changed one bit since being PM.
