MINISTER’S AIDE SELLS SEX ONLINE

Top Tory’s diary secretary sparks blackmail fears on sugar daddy website

- BY NICK SOMMERLAD

A TOP Tory minister’s aide raised security fears after she was caught selling sex to sugar daddies online.

Housing chief Dominic Raab’s diary secretary joked how she’d “love to get sacked” for romping on her boss’s desk as she made herself a blackmail target.

She told our undercover man, who had paid her: “I know his every move.”

A MINISTER’s aide at the centre of a Whitehall prostituti­on scandal boasted of how much she knows about the senior Tory as she met a potential client.

This should cause grave concerns... she could be liable to blackmail DAI DAVIES FORMER ROYAL PROTECTION POLICE CHIEF

The diary secretary to housing minister Dominic Raab freely bragged how her job is to “run his life”.

The 20-year-old said: “I know everything about him. I know his every move. I know where he is today.”

It is a huge potential security breach in the staff of Mr Raab, who has been tipped as a future Prime Minister.

We have decided not to name the secretary but are publishing this story to highlight the risks to MPs when a close aide makes themselves a possible blackmail target.

Mr Raab could be in the sights of hostile forces after threatenin­g Russia with a “wide range of sanctions” after the Novichok attack in Salisbury.

Ex-Scotland Yard royal protection chief Dai Davies said: “This revelation should cause grave concerns for those responsibl­e for protection of our most senior politician­s. This individual knows a great deal of sensitive informatio­n yet she does not even know who she is revealing it to.

“If she is being so open with someone she has barely met, then she could be liable to blackmail.”

The brazen staffer said she aimed to earn up to £5,000 a month from rich clients but always insists that “everything is protected”.

She told the Mirror’s undercover reporter, posing as a wealthy businessma­n, that for £750 he could have “full undisputed access to me”.

She admitted her Civil Service bosses would “have an issue” with her extra work, but said: “I don’t care.”

The woman – who we will call Lisa, not her real name – posted a string of pictures of herself on seekingarr­ange ment.com, a controvers­ial site that allows “sugar daddies” to make financial arrangemen­ts with “sugar babies”.

When our undercover reporter contacted Lisa, she immediatel­y agreed to meet. When asked if this would involve “just dinner”, she replied: “Obviously not.”

She asked: “What would you be comfortabl­e in offering, say on a per meet basis to begin with?” Our reporter suggested £750 and she said: “That would suit me just perfectly.”

Asked what she was prepared to do for £750, she answered: “Whatever you would like to be on offer.

“You may have full undisputed access to me, to do whatever you so choose,” before adding a kiss emoji.

Sugar babies setting up their profile on the site are warned against charging on a “pay-per-meet” basis.

Before the first meeting, which took place at a five-star hotel less than a mile from the Houses of Parliament, Lisa wrote: “I’m happy to offer my part of the deal from the offset, are you?”

She said in another message: “You’ve got my undivided attention for a few hours on Saturday – I’ll let your imaginatio­n run wild as to what you wish to do with that [kiss emoji].

“We’ll sort out the transactio­nal part at the beginning so we can relax into one another’s company from there on out [wink emoji].”

Within minutes of meeting our reporter, Lisa revealed her role at the heart of Government. She said: “I run a minister’s life. It’s my responsibi­lity that he’s in the right place at the right time with the right briefing.”

Lisa later named her boss as Dominic Raab. She said: “I’m his PA. I deal with him on a daily, daily basis.

“He calls me all the time. Basically, I organise his entire life. I know everything about him. I know his every move. I know where he is today.”

She was equally forthcomin­g about her other life on seekingarr­angement. com. Within half an hour of meeting our reporter she told him: “I have two rules. Rule number one is that everything is protected. Rule number two is that only one area is used out of the two areas that can be used.”

Asked if a relationsh­ip could ever develop where she was not getting paid, she said: “No, that wouldn’t happen… there’s a reason I’m on the site and not on Tinder.”

She claimed to have met a string of paying clients via the site, including an aide to a super-rich Middle Eastern royal family.

The website asks “sugar babies” to choose the amount of money they expect every month to “maintain their lifestyle”. Lisa chose “moderate” meaning she expected up to £ 3,000 a month to be spent on her.

She told our reporter: “A couple of people I’ve seen, we’ve started off with a per-meet arrangemen­t and when we feel more comfortabl­e we agree on a

monthly amount. Then it becomes a monthly amount to support my London lifestyle. Nothing extravagan­t. I’ve had everything from £500 to £2,500, which is insane.”

She said she sees a “maximum of three people... One since the beginning, one since January”.

She added: “They want to hold on to me. There was one guy who’d have preferred to have me exclusivel­y but I told him that’s not something I can promise you unless you can come to some arrangemen­t where it would be beneficial to me. I tried to sort of sell it to him as a great package.

“If you wanted me exclusivel­y... you’d then have access to me any day of the week. But it would have to be something that would match my needs. I’d need a stable amount monthly.

“In an ideal world, the most I would ask for is £5,000 but that’s at a stretch. But we could negotiate.”

She said the aide to Middle Eastern royals offered her £2,500 for a weekend and even sent her cash before they met for her to spend on her hair and make-up. But Lisa said she did not feel comfortabl­e and so just accepted £500 for a dinner date and nothing more.

She said: “I can’t fake conversati­on. I can’t fake an orgasm. That’s why I have success at this. I’m a very sensual person. I’m very open.”

Asked what her Whitehall bosses would think of her activities, she said: “I don’t care. I don’t really see too much of a contrast between this and going on multiple Tinder dates. There’s another element to speed things up and keep things transparen­t. Of course they’d have an issue with it but I don’t see why they should and at the end of the day it’s my business.”

The second meeting with Lisa took place at a pub in King’s Cross, central London. At the end of each meeting, at both of which Lisa was paid £750, our reporter made his excuses and left. When we confronted Lisa, she declined to comment for our story. There is no suggestion Mr Raab was aware of his diary secretary’s actions.

Like all civil servants, Lisa is prevented by the Official Secrets Act from revealing sensitive or confidenti­al informatio­n she has gained through her job. The Ministry of Housing, Communitie­s and Local Government said: “We are aware of this allegation and are investigat­ing. There is no suggestion that any Official informatio­n has been disclosed.”

You may have full undisputed access to me, to do whatever you so choose ‘LISA’ TELLS WHAT SHE WILL OFFER FOR A FEE OF £750

DOMINIC Raab’s aide joked about having a romp on his minister’s desk for cash.

The diary secretary complained that the top Tory was “difficult”, “dismissive of women” and “thinks he’s Prime Minister”.

She added that he has “tunnel vision” and revealed that he buys exactly the same lunch from Pret a Manger every day.

Raab’s diary secretary – who we are calling Lisa, not her real name – laughed about having sex on the minister’s desk with a client paying her £750 a session.

Our reporter, posing as a client, told Lisa: “We will have to sneak into his office at some stage.”

And she replied: “I would love to get sacked for that.”

When our man joked about what he would do “on Raab’s desk”, Lisa laughed and said: “So would I.”

She revealed the frustratio­n felt by Mr Raab’s staff at working for a man tipped as a potential future Prime Minister.

She said: “I’m not his biggest fan. You have to be very straight with him. He finds it difficult dealing with women. He’s very dismissive.

“Our team... there are three women and two men and he struggles with that.

“It’s something everybody’s noticed. So we find it very difficult to manage him.

“He’s very tunnel vision. He’s not very open-minded. Not very open to discussion. He’s difficult to work with. I think he thinks he’s the Prime Minister.

“He puts himself above everybody… he’s not the favourite minister I’ve worked for.”

She added: “He’s an enjoyable challenge. I like being the strong woman who can handle him, showing the other women around me you don’t have to put up with his sh*t.

“No, I find it a healthy challenge.” Lisa claimed that Mr Raab’s staff recently toasted his departure with a bottle of prosecco when he left London for his constituen­cy at the start of the Easter holiday. Lisa, who does not normally drink alcohol, said: “The team managed to pressure me into drinking a glass of prosecco. They said it had been a dreadful week.

“It had been a horrendous week with Dom. He had been really flighty. Just managing him had been really hard.”

BROWNIE

She joked about buying him a hash brownie, a cake baked with marijuana, during a trip to Amsterdam.

She said: “He needs loosening up. he’s very uptight. That’s the word for him. I would love to get him high. He would lose his sh*t. He would. Oh, my god. When things go out of line he panics.”

Lisa complained that Mr Raab is not “open-minded” and claimed: “He has the same sandwich every day. He has the same lunch.

“He has the same baguette with the same smoothie with a pot of fruit everyday.

“It’s from Pret. He has the chicken Caesar and bacon baguette, superfruit pot and the vitamin volcano smoothie every day.

“He is so weird. I get it for him. I go to Pret. That’s how I know. It’s the Dom Raab Special.”

Lisa has enjoyed a high-flying career at the Department for Housing, Communitie­s and Local Government, with access to the House of Parliament.

She was invited to a drinks

reception at 10 Downing Street after being hired as a 16-year-old apprentice under former PM David Cameron.

The 20-year-old posted a picture on Instagram of herself knocking on the iconic black door.

She captioned it: “Invited to Number 10 this evening for a drinks reception and a personal introducti­on to the Prime Minister. Just working my way through that #bucketlist.”

She told our reporter that she was “proud” of her job.

She said: “Yes, it’s paid a lot less than the private sector but we get a pretty good deal. We get treated well.

“I started at 16 as an apprentice. It was under Cameron. Cameron was pushing for half a million apprentice­ships in 10 years. I’m a civil servant and proud. I was earning £18,000 a year at 16. I didn’t know what to do with all this money. I was living with Mum and Dad.

“I do love the civil service. It’s very supportive. I’m very grateful that they gave me two years off.”

She boasted that she had recently been offered “quite a significan­t pay rise with no extra responsibi­lity, which is quite nice, quite an honour”.

When our reporter joked that she should buy him lunch, she replied: “No… wrong site, honey!”

But Lisa later revealed she was planning a break from her job as she had saved up money from her seekingarr­angement.com earnings.
