FORMER Tory energy minister Claire O’Neill – you might know her better by her former name Claire Perry – has been hired as a “senior adviser” by a top international lobbying form, which also employs former Labour Party ministers.

Claire O’Neill was David Cameron’s rail minister from 2014-16 and Theresa May’s energy minister from 2017-19 before standing down at the 2019 election.

This June she became a “senior adviser” to FTI Consulting: FTI is a major international management consultancy, with a big “strategic communications” or political lobbying arm.
