Over the years, Maxwell expanded his business interests into newspapers, including the acquisition of the Daily Mirror Group in 1984, making him one of Britain's most prominent media moguls.Maxwell was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and charismatic personality, often attracting both admiration and criticism. He was a Member of Parliament for the Labour Party from 1964 to 1970, representing Buckingham.However, Maxwell's business practices came under scrutiny, particularly concerning his use of employee pension funds to finance his various ventures.
