CASH FOR CROISSANTS Labour faces fresh row after offering companies breakfast with Business Secretary for £30,000

I'm all for business leaders being engaged with Government but it shouldn't just be those with deep enough pockets to be willing to pay for it.

What is it with charging money for access to politicians?

Bernie Eccleston famously paid £1 million for 15 minutes with Tony Blair to try and persuade him to campaign to delay the introduction of the smoking advertising ban in F1. He got his way.

It stinks. Politics needs a huge clean up. Sadly turkeys won't vote for Christmas.

I would demand at least a full english for that sort of money.

THAT'S the Stewie we know and love.

Clearly food's the trigger. But now you have been let's see the outpouring of threads. It'll be cathartic for us all

(The bigger issue for the front bench will be Lord Alli asking for a refund... "£30k? I spunked over 10x that and got a birthday party and told to sit in the corner at meetings")

Selling democracy.

Costs the politicians nothing but it's worth a few quid.

Never heard of a Labour party commercial team before.

Since they're talking to tax payer-funded employees to persuade them to do things to tax payers I'll assume the payola goes straight to the treasury.

A fine sideline to fill that 'black hole'.

What i want to know, was anyone daft enough to part with a quid, never mind £30k for this?
