Have the Conservative
Party been favourable
to HSBC?
By Matthew Clifton
The Conservatives actions are becom-
ing increasingly more concerning and
what has been revealed recently high-
lights that corruption is rife within the
party. There is the current investiga-
tion into election fraud, which is the
reason why Theresa May called for the
general election in the first place. But
the most recent revelation that has
barely been covered by the media
could threaten the party’s existence if
it were to be investigated properly and
charges made, except there is little
chance that could happen.

Party, highlight the favours given to HSBC after
significant donations were made by Conservative

HSBC. We also look at Energy UK’s guidelines for
the future government, highlight Theresa May’s
despot inspired campaign so far, Diane Abbott’s
figures blunder overshadowed a sensible Labour
policy and a brief look at the local elections.
