Andrew Griffith criticises government amid cronyism scandal

Andrew Griffith has weighed in on the cronyism scandal, saying Keir Starmer needs to "grasp firmly by the nettle this growing scandal of Labour parachuting in top donors and political supporters into senior civil service roles." It comes as Ian Corfield, who donated ÂŁ20,000 to Labour politicians over the past decade, was made a temporary director of investment at the Treasury last month.
