Anneliese Dodds – 2021 Comments on Ben Elliot

The comments made by Anneliese Dodds, the Chair of the Labour Party, on 3 August 2021.

The public will be appalled that the Co-Chair of the Conservative Party’s company was marketing the same tests used by the NHS to its super rich client base in April last year – a time when even care homes weren’t able to access the tests many of their staff and residents needed.

We need to know just who in the Conservative Party knew what Mr Elliot was up and what action they are going to take in light of these allegations.

The daily revelations about Ben Elliot raise serious questions about the Prime Minister’s judgement in appointing him to his post and the culture within the Conservative Party.

There cannot be one rule for senior Conservatives and their cronies, and another rule for everyone else.
