Cronyism once again

While Health Secretary I forgot to mention my sister was director of a company which was awarded a lucrative NHS contract....

And he failed to mention it.

More importantly, he knew it would come out and still didn't declare it, as he knew it would make no difference.

And the press and most of the media ignores this. You can be sure if these were Labour MPs and Ministers, the red tops and so called quality papers would be all over it.

And the long this lives in the (partial) shadows, the more it will happen.

And with the limits on scrutiny on what the Government and Whitehall does, the less likely the story is to come out.

But, a civil servant with a conflict of interest? Yes, the Mail, Express and Torygraph will all lead with that story, but not any involving Minsiters.
