The average price of a small weekly shop has skyrocketed over the past 12 months, with a 15-item basket of supplies now costing, on average, £5.52 more than this time last year.
Cameron defends the lobby against ministers for Greensill Capital
The former prime minister, giving his first public comments on Greensill since the fall of March, denied how much money the supply chain finance company was on the way to earning before the administration.
Industry data told the Financial Times that Cameron owned shares close to 1 percent of Greensill’s value. The company was valued at $ 7 billion at one point.
But Cameron told the House Treasury Committee that any potential suggestions from Greensill for him are “completely absurd.” He declined to say what the actual figure was, but said he had stock options and was paid “much more than he earned as prime minister.”
