David Cameron’s activities at the scandal-hit Greensill Capital finance company are a “matter of interest” in a wider investigation by the Serious Fraud Office, the Guardian understands.

The SFO, which investigates and prosecutes fraud, bribery and corruption in the UK, has questioned interview subjects about the UK foreign secretary’s involvement with the now-defunct company, sources claim.

The Guardian understands that Cameron’s activities have been discussed in sensitive interviews with witnesses in the long-running SFO investigation. A spokesperson for Cameron declined to answer specific questions about the investigation and his involvement with Greensill, but said that the foreign secretary had not personally had “any contact” with the SFO.

Entirely plausible that this was why Sunak did what he did.

I seem to recall that he was the one whose USP was to be the caring face of Conservatism and we're all in it together.

Dave’s smooth charm is lost on MAGA Marj

"David Cameron can kiss my ass!"

The response of Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene to the UK foreign secretary's remarks carried no regard and no respect.

She is about as far to the Republican right as it gets, but the withering rebuke finds an echo across the party.

Looks like he's trying to ingratiate himself with Wills.

They had lost 2 in 12 and weren’t losing that match at the time.

Peak Cameron, standing up for British birds threatened by dastardly foreigners. The ECJ rarely rules in favour of free trade over conservation measures. But I doubt this Brexit Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA) has any environmental dimension so it’s probably giving to be though tits for the puffins. Tories can’t even protect its own citizens from dirty water.

UK stands firm in Brexit puffin fish row with EU

Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has told the EU he will not compromise in a post-Brexit row over UK moves to protect puffin birds by banning the fishing of sand eels in the North Sea.

Brussels has launched dispute proceedings against the UK – the first under the Brexit Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA) – after French and Danish fishing industries complained about the ban on fishing sand eels, as they catch hundreds of thousands of tonnes of the fish in UK waters each year.

But the Government is standing firm over the ban, introduced to protect the favourite food of puffins, which are endangered and one of the UK’s most loved seabirds.
