CT Group

CT Group, a political lobbying firm co-founded by election strategist Lynton Crosby, is currently under fire for allegedly paying journalists to write favorable articles about its clients. This practice, revealed by The Guardian, has been condemned by MPs, senior lobbyists, and transparency campaigners as a threat to democracy and a way for private companies to covertly influence public opinion. The firm, which has ties to former Prime Ministers David Cameron and Boris Johnson, is now facing calls to disclose the full details of these payments. The revelations highlight concerns about the transparency of political influence and the integrity of media reporting in the UK.
