Tory Foreign Office minister used official visit to Azerbaijan to promote party donor's business
Briefly

During Docherty's visit to Azerbaijan, he promoted JCB machinery, a brand owned by a major Conservative donor, raising concerns about the influence of political donations in government activities.
The significant donations to the Conservative Party by the Bamford family have raised questions about potential preferential treatment for businesses linked to prominent political donors.
Critics argue that Docherty's actions in Azerbaijan indicate a troubling trend where the interests of political contributors are prioritized over fair competition and ethical governance.
With the Conservative Party receiving over £10 million from the Bamfords, observers note a concerning correlation between political donations and the prioritization of donor interests in key government decisions.
