Amber Rudd Fails to Disclose That Brother is Top Financial Lobbyist with Energy Clients

‘Amber Rudd, secretary of state for the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), continues to come under fire this week as it’s revealed that she failed to disclose links to a top lobbyist in official parliamentary records.
