gambling white paper<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nBenton reportedly promised to give the investor a copy of the white paper before it was made public. This would give him an edge, as he would have access to market data before anyone else. The white paper will likely include several new restrictions for operators that will influence their profits.<\/p>\n
In addition, Benton shared that he possesses the ability to compose parliamentary inquiries, citing previous instances where he fulfilled this task. Benton expressed confidence in his ability to provide access to the decision-making officials and engage with them personally, even outside the confines of the Commons voting room.<\/p>\n
Benton was reportedly willing to give up the information for between \u00a32,000 and \u00a34,000 (US$2,489 and $4,979). It was a lucrative deal, as it would have apparently required only two days to complete.<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen The Times<\/em> broke the story, Benton admitted that he met with the individuals, but denied any wrongdoing. He stated that he cut off communications with the “investors” after the meeting over concerns that his actions might violate regulations or laws.<\/p>\nLed By Donkeys<\/h2>\n The UK political system has been dealing with one embarrassing scandal after another for the past couple of years. Even as the people try to put someone at the top of the government to help find balance, there has been an increase, not a decrease, in political turmoil.<\/p>\n

Last month, another investigation uncovered additional issues within Parliament. The Anti-Brexit and anti-Conservative Party lobby group Led By Donkeys reportedly identified two other wayward politicians last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The group conducted a sting operation that ensnared two former cabinet ministers willing to deal with a fake South Korean company. To give it favors, they allegedly expected \u00a310,000 (US$12,449) in return.<\/p>\n
Although no charges resulted from the sting, the case still proved to be an embarrassment to a government that has promised to restore integrity. One of the individuals in the Led By Donkeys sting was Matt Hancock, who resigned from politics last December for having an affair while married.<\/p>\n
The other individual was Kwasi Kwarteng, who served as the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer for just 38 days under Liz Truss<\/a> last year. When Kwarteng tried to present a new tax plan in September to stop the economic slide, the result was the opposite. The pound hit its lowest point ever in trading against the US dollar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British Member of Parliament (MP) Scott Benton has put himself in a situation he won’t be able to talk himself out of.
