The Conservatives have appointed an Egyptian-born billionaire and former minister under the Hosni Mubarak regime to be one of their senior fundraisers before the next election.
Rishi Sunak made the announcement that Mohamed Mansour would be the senior treasurer of the Conservative party at a reception for a group of donors on Monday night.
Mansour’s company Unatrac has donated more than £600,000 to the party. He was also last year given a role on the government’s advisory investment council as founder of his family-owned investment firm Man Capital.
He is a former politician who served as a transport minister from 2006 to 2009 in the government of the then president, Hosni Mubarak, who was removed from office in 2011 as part of the Arab spring. » | Rowena Mason, Aubrey Allegretti and Clare Rewcastle Brown | Wednesday, December 14, 2022
WTF is this corrupt Tory administration trying to turn this country into? Is this what the dudes meant by “talking back control” when we had that ridiculous Brexit referendum? Rishi Sunak’s administration is no better than the clowns’ administrations before his! The direction that this once proud nation is now going in is troubling indeed. Soon, we won’t have a country to call our own. Sunak should ask himself one simple question: Would Egypt repay the compliment by appointing a Brit into an equivalent position in Egypt? Is there any reciprocity? I think we all know the answer to that question! The Tories are playing a dangerous game. – © Mark Alexander
