• I'm no governance expert, but touting confidential Brexit linked information seems an irregular activity for former govt ministers:

    Lord Lansley, who served as health secretary under David Cameron, was filmed being offered tens of thousands of pounds. He also said the deal could be kept secret from authorities if he was employed through his wife's company, Low Europe.

    Peter Lilley, who was the Tory party's deputy leader between 1998 and 1999, also expressed interest in approaching key ministers for Tianfen.

    The MP Andrew Mitchell was willing to give paid advice to the company for £6,000 a day and said he would work up to 10 weeks a year. The Times reported he already gets paid nearly £75,000 for his job as an MP. "My constituents don't mind what I'm paid," he said while being filmed.

    Lansley said he was already making €5,000 a day (around £4384) by giving Brexit advice to his pharmaceutical clients. He spoke about his connections at the top of government, such as Prime Minister Theresa May and Liam Fox, Secretary of State for International Trade.
