    Nadhim Zahawi running into trouble on @BBCr4today, where he seems to suggest that voters who want Richard Desmond-level access to govt ministers should, as he did, go to Tory fundraising dinners.

        Quote: “If people go to a fundraiser in their local area, Doncaster, for the Conservative Party, they’ll be sitting next to MPs, other people in their local authority. They can interact with different parts of the authority. The access didn’t buy this billionaire a decision."

        I'm also not sure that "there is no smoking gun here" is the strongest possible endorsement of a colleague's actions, if I'm honest.

        Prices generally start at a modest 30 pieces of silver. 12K gets you full immunity from doing the right thing.

        He didn't do any better on #BBCBreakfast Tried his best to dodge the story but Charlie Stayt (to his eternal credit) wouldn't let him get away with it.
