One in four Tory MPs who lost or gave up their Commons seats since 2017 were handed cushy public appointments, the Mirror can reveal.

Labour said the disclosure shows the Greensill scandal is “just the tip of the iceberg”. Some 25 former Conservative MPs were given jobs as advisors or put in charge of Government programmes after they lost seats or stood down in the 2017 and 2019 elections.

That’s more than a quarter of the 94 Tories who left the Commons in the 2017 and 2019 elections. They include Andrew Bingham, the ex-High Peak MP who lost his seat in 2017, who was made Head of the Government Car service, a role which can carry a salary of more than £70,000.
