Two Tory MPs told locals they were on their side in rows over giant phone masts, while taking cash from the firms that erected them.
Blackpool MP Scott Benton is one of 25 MPs the Sunday People revealed had accepted a combined £147,000 in cash from IX Wireless - a Lancashire-based broadband firm.
In July he posted a picture of himself next to one of the firm's giant masts in his constituency, saying the poles "look awful" and it was "ridiculous" that locals couldn't object to them being erected.
