Stockton Tory MP's bid to get cash for his pal - Sunday Sun

A NEW Tory MP tried to help a former Conservative colleague who sells giant penis statues get £30,000 in Government aid.

Stockton South MP James Wharton is facing criticism after he wrote to jobs quango One North East asking them to speed up a grant to Trocabart, a company run by his former Conservative party pal Jason Hadlow.

The newly elected MP asked spending chiefs to hand over £30,000 as "a priority" to his mate whose other company Simply Dutch was at the centre of a media storm earlier this year when police seized a four-foot tall sandstone statue of a penis following indecency complaints.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

This is just soooooo appropriate following the last 2 stories.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
