Excellent news that this is gaining traction. Will any investigations also deal with the Israeli money which finds its way into our democracy via Jewish Friends of.. organisations and similar? I also worry about the APPG set up which seems profoundly undemocratic to me.
Agree. There are just too many undeclared vested outside interests playing the devil with UK’s parliamentary representatives. This creeping corruption of democracy has been increasing over the decades since New Labour and what I choose to dall The Mandelson Effect. It has long since become normalized, hence MP Sammy Wilson allegedly not understanding that he has been actively complicit in undermining parliamentary best practice.
The funding of APPG’s has become a doorway for lobbyists. Providing office space etc. The influence of the occupants of 55 Tufton Street is a big one for me!
