Conservative Deputy Chair Jonathan Gullis Faces Scrutiny Over £10,000 JCB Donation, Pothole Pro Promotion, and Job Cuts
Jun 8, 2024, 08:05 AM
Conservative Deputy Chair Jonathan Gullis has been implicated in a controversy involving the promotion of JCB's 'revolutionary' Pothole Pro machine. Gullis endorsed the machine in Parliament and subsequently accepted a five-figure donation, specifically £10,000, from JCB. Despite this, he remained silent when JCB announced job cuts in his constituency. Additionally, it has been revealed that JCB and its owners have donated £3 million to the Conservative Party and its MPs, including Gullis, Mark Harper, and Theo Clarke. The company's significant financial contributions, amounting to millions of pounds, have raised questions about the integrity of these endorsements. The story was reported by Byline Times.
