There are holders of high public office and high positions in companies and other organisations who have behaved unethically, even outrageously, in ways which make it appear likely that they have been motivated by desires to help cronies. 
Cronyism is probably very common worldwide. 
The purpose of cronies.org.uk is to give people reliable information about harm probably caused by cronyism, to enable them to better protect themselves from it and to combat it, especially at the ballot box and by using their powers as customers and investors.
It is non-profit making.
No member of any political party is, or has ever been, involved in any aspect of its production or operation.
It quotes opinions but does not express opinions itself.  In particular, it shows titles (eg "The Rt Hon" and "Lord Justice") but expresses no opinion that any title has or has not been reasonably awarded on the basis of evidence of some kind of merit, or that it does or does not accurately describe the conduct of the person concerned.  Some titles are instruments of propaganda.  For example, the former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, who was responsible for dreadful, well documented, human rights abuses, had a "Minister of Law, Justice and Human Rights" (Mr Muhammad Wasi Zafar).

 Cronyism is defined thus:
Willingness to commit unethical acts and/or omissions for the benefit of one or more others, motivated by hope of one or more favours in return and/or by misguided loyalty. 

Articles in cronies.org.uk refer to people as Mr A, Mr B  etc., to protect their privacy.  The letters A, B, C, etc., are not, except coincidentally, the people's initials; they only indicate, alphabetically, the order in which the abbreviated names have been added to cronies.org.uk.
