Wealthy Tory donor scandal exposed - and why it threatens democracy

Season 1
•

A Financial Times splash has revealed how an elite Tory donors club - known as the 'Advisory Board' - has secret meetings with Boris Johnson and senior government figures. With investigative journalist Solomon Hughes, we look at the wider issues of how the wealthy manipulate the political system to their advantage - and what it says about our democracy.


Plus: this week, Labour MP Apsana Begum was completely exonerated by a court after Tower Hamlets tried to prosecute her for making fraudulent housing claims - accusations Begum said were "driven by malicious intent." We are exclusively joined by her lawyer, Raj Chada, who tells us the truth about the case.
