Godfrey Bloom: Should former prime ministers and senior ministers face greater scrutiny over the money, jobs and opportunities they receive after leaving office?
Godfrey Bloom examines Boris Johnson’s political record, his claims about Brexit and the COVID vaccine rollout, and his involvement in the failed 2022 Ukraine peace negotiations. He also questions the apparent double standard between the investigation of Nigel Farage’s undeclared donation and the limited scrutiny given to lucrative post-government careers and speaking arrangements.
From George Osborne’s role at BlackRock to the wider relationship between politicians, the press and powerful corporate interests, this commentary asks whether staying within the rules is enough—or whether the ethics of political influence should matter too.
