Tory sleaze is back, Labour leader Keir Starmer warned today after a Conservative MP was caught offering to lobby on behalf of gambling investors.
Scott Benton was stripped of the party whip after an undercover investigation found he was prepared to leak market sensitive information to a bogus investment fund and ask parliamentary questions on its behalf, in breach of parliamentary rules.
Asked about the Blackpool South MP's actions, Mr Starmer linked it to a sting last month by campaign group Led By Donkeys.
