The UK’s Treasury department have published text messages sent from the UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak to David Cameron, amid concerns about the former prime minister's efforts to lobby the UK government for emergency funding for the now-defunct Greensill Capital.

Cameron, who was an adviser to Greensill Capital, was reported to have lobbied the UK government to increase the supply chain finance firm's access to state-backed emergency Covid-19 loan schemes, months before its collapse. Cameron has not commented publicly on the allegations.
