Watch live: Lex Greensill faces questions from MPs over lobbying scandal

[@phyllisfoster6589]

How does anyone trust their finances with a guy who looks like Howdy Doody?

[@11yolkel]

If it looks like a crook, sounds like a crook, dresses like a crook, then guess what - it is a crook, trained in the art of interview by Prince Andrew & David Cameron - he can now continue his day job as a Stan Laurel lookalike

I was thinking more Frank Spencer LOL! :D

He’s a genuine salesperson for his own good

The interviewers have obviously already drawn their conclusion from the very insightful articles in the financial times. Hooray, the truth has been established and the people have been avenged. Long live democracy governed by highly competent ideologues. Ps: no sarcasm here...

[@marvinsannes9397]

The guy's got no upper lip. Reminds me of the MASH character - Frank Burns.

[@mad4cavs]

lobbying shouldnt be allowed contracts should be awarded with everything above board and supervised

[@brianevans2819]

What about the £400 million plus he conned out of us, with the help of Dodgy Dave?

[@zcharg0]

Typical british BS “enquiries” - addressing people being questioned about serious matters by their first names - “Lex”, “David” etc is unprofessional and stinks of pre determined conclusions. These are sham proceedings and serve no serious purpose. Interviewers who are poorly prepared and know little about business doesn’t help either.

It’s probably the first time I’ve heard someone in a select committee hearing that’s been very transparent. Yes, his company collapsed, but it sounds like he knew his business and where it went wrong. Sometimes things fail with many losers, but the actual failure is not down to negligence just a mistake. What stinks in this, like most things these days, is the fact that government or ex-government officials are making millions by using their current or former status - and that is what needs investigating.

[@SuperMookles]

He was completely corrupt.
