Anneliese Dodds – 2021 Comments on David Cameron and Greensill Emails

The comments made by Anneliese Dodds, the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, on 22 April 2021.

These emails confirm that Greensill wasn’t shy about the financial trouble it was in last year. They were sending the begging bowl round to the Bank for England for up to £20 billion in support in March, and yet the Government granted the failed lending firm access to hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer-backed loans in June.

This is about keeping public money safe. We need to understand why Greensill Capital was given so much time and access to the Treasury, and why so much public money was put at risk.

The Chancellor must now come clean about his role in the return of Conservative sleaze by urgently publishing details of every call, text and secret meeting he had with David Cameron’s Greensill Capital.
