At it again! This story is growing peoples, watch this space.

Civil servant advised Greensill while working in Whitehall, says watchdog.

Bill Crothers became a director of finance firm months after leaving civil service, records show.

This didn't look like much but Cameron was very self-satisfied as ever but it just didn't convince.

A juicy financial scandal involving the tories is always enjoyable to the viewer.

They might be deflecting the storm, a common tactic, before it s perched firmly over Downing street, the member for medway doesn"t have to be told this.

If no laws were broken though......

There is always tension between numbers 10 & 11, with (ironically) the exception to the rule being Cameron and Osborne who were as thick as thieves.

And the Treasury is a department that nobody outside it has many fond feelings for so anything is possible.

At this level of politics, for those still in office then it's never really about money, at least there and then. The venal circuit of speeches and consultancies after they leave office, that's a different matter but none of them are trousering brown envelopes whilst actually in situ. And none of them would fall on any swords to secure those. Plenty of contenders for their services.

But there is constant manoeuvring for a shot at the top office and they play dirty. Patel has apparently made it quite clear that she ain't being moved from the Home Office without a real fight and there are plenty of other murkey types circling, not least Gove.

This Cameron malarky is pretty tacky, when all is said and done but I suspect that it is more harmful to some of the Pretenders to the Crown rather than Johnson.

Ran off after the Brexit vote like a naughty schoolboy, but doesn't mind lingering around behind the scenes when it fills the right coffers.
