Matt Hancock and Kwasi Kwarteng offer to work for fake Korean company for £10,000 a day in MP sting

Former health secretary and chancellor were both caught on camera

Matt Hancock and Kwasi Kwarteng are among the MPs who agreed to work for thousands of pounds per day for a fake South Korean firm after being duped by campaign group Led by Donkeys.

The ex-health secretary and former chancellor were caught on camera discussing a day rate for work, with Mr Kwarteng adding that he would expect to be reimbursed for his travel but would not expect a “king’s ransom”.

Mr Kwarteng initially said he would expect £10,000 per month but appeared to agree with an offer of £8,000-£12,000 per day for six board meetings a year that could be face-to-face or virtual.
