    Rifkind claims to have "no salary" Well here's hoping it turns out to be an actuality.

      You can bet he is worth the £5000. Nobody invests that much money without there being a significant return from it. He's not really giving a "speech". He's using his "connections" to generate revenue for whoever pays him enough as the intermediary. It all stinks and I am glad that, almost at the end of his smarmy and soiled career, he has eventually been caught on camera. It's a pity. He was good...until he got into government.

      ***** Yep, it's pretty awful. He gets more though for the deals he can do with all the connections he made during his time in Number 10. The Prime Ministerial salary is low, considering the hassle, but the income after resignation (or firing) can be substantial.

    I'm not a Labour or Straw fan at all, but this evidence is so flimsy. He was asked how much he usually charges, not how much he will charge them. I'm surprised The Telegraph pushed that flimsy point, it wouldn't stand up in court.

    That's a very shiny spade jack! I'm voting UKIP. Labortive need to disappear from parliament in order for the honest tax payer to prosper in a fair country... Good bye Jack.

    May have been a scam but. Those who carried out this undercover work show how vunerable politicians are when it comes to the allure of Cash. Especially when they are coming towards the end of their careers.

    Take Sierious consideration about their remarcable contribution over donkey years for this country before you judge them. Remember the world is watching. These gentlemen have been highly regarded not only in this Island but also in the whole world.
