British politics has a long history of corruption at all levels. This includes MPs working to further the interests of companies, foreign powers and donors. The example in the tweet is in no way exceptional by these standards. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/bob-stewart-tory-mp-standards-investigation-register-interests/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_scandals_in_the_United_Kingdom https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/nov/29/tory-mp-who-chided-gambling-regulator-received-8000-from-betting-industry https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/bob-stewart-tory-mp-standards-investigation-register-interests/ https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/uk-government-accused-of-avoiding-dirty-money-checks-on-political-donations-despite-scandals/ https://pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/newspaper-corrections-media-mistakes-errors-legal/cash-for-questions-tory-mp-scott-benton-ipso-the-times/ https://www.gamblingharm.com/post/embedded-the-gambling-industry-in-british-politics

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1813326466115072116

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
