Lynton Crosby

Lynton Crosby is the co-founder of CT Group, a political lobbying firm. The firm is currently facing significant scrutiny and condemnation following a Guardian investigation. The investigation revealed that CT Group has been secretly paying journalists to write articles that are favorable to its clients. This practice has been described by MPs, senior lobbyists, and transparency campaigners as a dangerous "attack on democracy" and a backdoor for private companies to influence public opinion. Crosby, known as an election guru and former electoral strategist for prominent politicians like David Cameron and Boris Johnson, is now associated with this controversial practice. The news has sparked calls for CT Group to reveal full details of these payments, highlighting the firm's current relevance in discussions about media integrity and political influence in the UK.
