David Cameron Caught in Steel Trap: Former prime minister David Cameron is neck deep in trouble indirectly but ultimately over involvement in a company that financed steelmaker Sanjeev Gupta. Cameron is said to have sought advantages for the finance company Greensill, that was the main financial backer for Sanjeev Gupta’s Liberty Steel and its parent company, the GFG Alliance. Cameron is facing a double set of accusations –that he favoured the company when he was Prime Minister, and secondly that after quitting as PM following the Brexit vote, he joined Greensill to then lobby government leaders for support for the company. The lobbying did not in the end help Greensill or Liberty – but it has damaged Cameron. An inquiry is under way.
