As you say, there is no such thing as a free meal as Labour tend to find out with their unions connections.

direct line know where their bread is buttered, the slashing of the police budgets will mean much higher premiums for home and motor insurance to cover the higher crime rate.

Yes, it seems to be an endemic problem of the Conservative party.
Let's not forget Andrew Lansley reviewing the NHS whilst being sponsored by a private health care company.
And then there is Jonathan Djanogly, whose reform to legal aid will also benefit private insurance companies, of which he is a major share holder.
Will they be employing Phillip Morris to run the department of health next, or review smoking? What about Phillip Green to review the 50p tax? ...oh sorry, I forgot he is already on the payroll!
Why don't they employ a public sector worker to review the pensions, then everyone will be happy.
So Labour have interest in representing the public sector unions? Shock horror! a government (who supposedly work for the public) working with a group of people who...um...work for the public. Where will this corruption end???

If post 5 implies that insurance companies, or one of them, are masterminding Government policies through party funding, to the effect that the Police budget is slashed with the aim of increasing profits through increased crime, then it's about time the institutional powers seriously quesation what is going on.

A couple of things
1. This is nothing new
2. companies, unions and individuals fund political parties that broadly share the same interests and goals - so why surprised that companies support a political party that supports capitalism?
3. insurance is not a scam - it is a perfectly legitimate and often necessary thing
What bothered me much more was the example they used of an MP who earned more in 45 days doing work as QC than he gets paid annually for representing his constituents - there is the real conflict of interest

courtesy of the guardian.
A company which is one of the Conservative party's largest donors paid no corporation tax for three years and could be dissolved by Companies House for failing to file accounts.
Lycamobile, an international firm that sells foreign mobile calls, gave the Tories £136,180 in the current quarter and £40,000 in the quarter before that, making the company the Tories' third biggest donor over this period.
But the latest available figures show the company did not pay any tax between 2008 and 2010 despite generating a turnover of between £47m and £88m.
This year's accounts are so late that last month Companies House announced they might "dissolve" the company, striking them off their register and forcing them to cease trading. At the end of March Lycamobile persuaded the regulator to suspend the moves.
