🚨 The Frank Hester scandal is a textbook example of how big money is corrupting British politics.

It doesn't have to be like this - but will any political leader face down the vested interests and change this rotten system?

Surely, it should not be permissable to receive public funds via NHS contracts and then 'donate' millions to the Conservative Party? That needs investigating.

What we definitely do not want is for UK politics to become as money hungry as US politics is. There is a danger that it is progressing that way.

I suppose they have spent all the Russian money, and Russia has got other things on its mind at the moment so they are scratching around a bit.

Do Labour look like they will be any better? (My hunch is not much. Different donors so different agendas for this corporate/ state capture). What can be done?
