a former conservative party chairman has become the latest figure to intervene in the escalating row surrounding david cameron's greensill capital — a finance company that has since gone bust. lord pickles, who currently advises ministers and officials when they take jobs after leaving government, says there didn't seem to be "any boundaries at all" between civil servants and the private sector. his comments follow the revelation that a top civil servant was working for the government and greensill at the same time. 0ur political correspondent greg dawson reports. what began as questions about the actions of a former prime minister advising a now collapsed finance firm has escalated into multiple investigations. lord pickles, once a government minister himself under david cameron, is now responsible for advising public servants over their work in the private sector. his assessment could hardly have been more blunt. contractors, consultants, people who arrive and offer assistance, maybe during the pandemic or maybe as mr greensill did, they are not covered at all, and i think that needs addressing. i think it ne
