George Monbiot brings Tom Watson back to reality:
“The Labour government weakened the rules on lobbying transparency. The ministerial code published in 2007 dropped the requirement that meetings between ministers and lobbyists should be recorded. It also rebuffed MPs’ demands for a register of lobbyists. You’ll be surprised to hear who the villain was: Tom Watson, then a Cabinet Office minister, now a heroic campaigner for corporate accountability. He brushed aside the call for a register with the claim that “we have a pretty good system in the UK”.
Tom Watson is a Hunt.
Tom watson is an opportunstic politician, who i feel uncomfortable with. I wonder when he will stab Ed M in the back ?
As soon as Ed Balls has him suitably distracted, I’d have thought.
Are you related by any chance billy?
But I like being a fat, sweating, red faced opportunistic Hunt who feigns indignation to try and appear a serious politician and dyes his hair to try and look younger but fails miserably at both.
Nobby lobbyists have a lobby…like banks….weapons…..pharma…..etc.etc. Do we havalobby?
