Ex-Prime Minister David Cameron called and emailed the Bank of England repeatedly in an increasingly desperate attempt to lobby for finance company Greensill, according to information released by the Bank.

Details of phone calls and emails between Cameron and the Bank in March and April 2020 show the former UK PM arranged a call with deputy governor Sir Jon Cunliffe who was a close adviser to Cameron when he was in office.
