Liz Truss's top aide is having his salary paid to his lobbying company, it has emerged - just days after the government announced a huge tax shakeup benefiting people in this position.
The PM's chief of staff Mark Fullbrook is now helping to shape government strategy even though he is not being directly paid by the government.
Instead his wages are paid by Fullbrook Solutions, a lobbying firm he set up in April but which has since suspended commercial activity.
