- pjc50 5y agoIt costs about £150k to become an unelected member of the UK permanent legislature, and bribe your way into an office of state: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/arise-lord-offord-tory-donor-25213473 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/arise-lord-offor...
- toyg 5y agoThose are the donations that were declared, to maintain a pretense of propriety. What sits in Panama, you'll probably never know. 150k is too low a price for that seat, particularly since the cash-for-peerages practice is now so old that the competition must be significant. Either there is more undeclared or this guy knows where the bodies are buried.
