Boris Johnson and the Saudi bid for Newcastle United

Dan Kitwood/WPA Pool/Getty Images Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman put pressure on Boris Johnson to intervene in an attempted takeover of Newcastle United, it has been reported. According to an exclusive from the Daily Mail, Bin Salman warned the PM that Anglo-Saudi relations could be damaged if a decision by the Premier League to block the deal was not “corrected”. Johnson reportedly asked a senior aide to investigate, but ultimately the Premier League did not approve the takeover. What happened? A year ago today Newcastle owner Mike Ashley agreed a £300m buyout for the club with a Saudi-led consortium. However, as the Premier League assessed the move under its Owners' and Directors’ Test, concerns were raised about the kingdom’s human rights record and a pirate TV channel broadcasting sport to its citizens.

Saudis will bid again for Newcastle despite takeover setback

The revelation that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally lobbied the Prime Minister is not believed to have forced the would-be buyers to reconsider. The Crown Prince urged Boris Johnson to “correct and reconsider” the “wrong” conclusion that he would be in charge of the club. This led to the government denying it was involved “at any point” over the failed bid and the attempts to revive it. However officials acknowledged that meetings had taken place between the Foreign Office and the Premier League and Johnson asked a senior No10 aide, Lord Eddie Lister — who is a Middle East expert — to take up the Crown Prince’s complaint.

Israel and Saudi Arabia buy influence in Britain as the lobbying scandal grows

April 15, 2021 at 4:41 pm Corruption in Britain is reaching startling new heights as lobby scandals threaten to engulf the government in a tsunami of sleaze. Leading the way, it seems, are both Israel and Saudi Arabia, each ruthless in the pursuit of backdoor access to the highest echelons of power in order to get their own way. When Israel is involved in such activities, it is usually the Palestinians who pay the price demanded by right-wing, pro-Israel lobby groups. With the Saudis, though, it's usually a matter of vanity and saving face. Newspaper headlines are full of lobbying scandals at the moment involving former British Prime Minister David Cameron, and it seems that Theresa May's government was also targeted, at least according to a former minister. However, it is now clear that Boris Johnson is also coming under fire for his alleged links to sleaze and dodgy dealings.
