By sending a simple text message, former Prime Minister David Cameron has lit a fire under his successor and former school pal’s government. 
The publicity around the Greensill Capital scandal has shone a light on what some of us have been fighting for years: the cosy and opaque relationship between corporate lobbyists and government ministers. 
A decade ago I attempted to establish a mandatory register of lobbyists by way of a Ten Minute Rule Bill. It did not become law - these things seldom do - but nevertheless Cameron himself had an opportunity to increase transparency with his 2014 lobbying bill, which he manifestly wasted, choosing instead to target the campaign budgets of not-for-profit campaigning groups such as the anti-racist group Hope Not Hate.
