Today’s Sunday Times reports how 28 former Labour ministers have cashed in on their Whitehall connections and taken up some pretty high paid jobs within the private sector. (The list includes John Reid, a man who tried to tackle religious sectarianism whilst at the Home Office. He now sits on the board of err……Celtic Football Club). It was always the Tories who were the brunt of the cabinet “revolving” door policy, but now it looks like Labour have assumed the mantle. Here’s a list of the offenders, together with the companies they now leech off!
