Lobbyists out of a job?



The latest from Dave’s “Anything Labour can do, the Tories can do better” school of campaigning:  Cutting out the middleman.

We’re all aware of Bell Pottinger’s red-faces-at-Party-Conference incident, in which their “Meet a Minister for £5k” offer didn’t work out quite as planned.  

Well, according to the Mail (don't forget your large pinch of salt), the Tories have once again decided they can do the job better - and in this case cut out the middleman and add a zero onto the fee, too. 

Which paints a pretty bleak future for the likes of Bell Pott, if / when the Tories win an election.
