Yet this is how the Tory Party operates. A handful of super-rich donors called the Leader’s Group can pay to wine and dine in private with Boris Johnson and other ministers.

A party in hock to fatcats will always put their needs before yours.
A party of millionaires will never understand why kids go hungry.
