And who's getting money behind the scenes?

      I think the comment above is correctly guessing who Traster was referring to, specifically this controversy: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/boris-johnson-jennifer-arcuri-model-london-mayor-friendship-conflict-interest-a9115211.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/boris-johnso...

    Possibly Theresa May, whose husband was involved with a private security company which whilst she was in the home office was the prime candidate for a private police force project It turned out he didn't own shares in G4S however https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/ex9k4n/g4s-theresa-mays-husband-shares https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/ex9k4n/g4s-theresa-mays-h...
