Starmer will be investigated by Durham Police ( crazy why now )

It puts the police firmly in the spotlight. If they fine him, he goes, if they don't, then I bet questions will be asked 'why not' ?

Durham police seem to have created a precedent with their line “Durham police has not taken retrospective action against any other person” in this piece (see “No further action - police policy” and the analysis under that).

That explains today's press conference statement and Angela's will will quit if we are found guilty knowing they wont ( another nod and wink moment from the old Durham police ?? )

Still doesn't explain why he has not stepped down as he asked Boris and others purely form being investigated ??

Probably as we all knew Boris was likely to be guilty and wed already seen photos of pissed up Tories not mentioning the Health Secretary having to quit.

Because we’d all seen the photos and the videos and we all knew Johnson and his cronies were continually pissing it up and partying, that’s why he said he should resign.

Is that like the labour party denying clearly for months that Angela Rayner was there?
They said it was an honest mistake but that is clearly bullshit. Because she obviously knew she was there so if it was a 'mistake' why didn't she correct the mistake immediately instead of hiding behind it until she had no choice but to come clean?

They must have been well pissed to have missed our Angela in that room .

The other issue to consider which part of Labour was briefing against Labour in that room , as I'm pretty sure their wasn't any Tories at Beergate.

What a mess .

Thank god there's no other serious issues going on the world .

'Clearly denying for months', I think they were asked twice if she was there before admitting they had ****ed up. She was the chair of party and head of campaigning, it isn't a massive surprise she was present for a huge by-election. I don't even know why it is relevant, does having her there make it a party?

Boris has been making new lies up to cover up old ones for over 6 months now.

Tin foil hat is out. You seriously think the LOTO has more power over the police than the PM? Delusional.

Re: Starmer will be investigated by Durham Police ( crazy why now )

It is getting more and more ridiculous. Why Starmer thinks that 'falling on his sword' will put pressure on BJ to do the same, is a mystery. Just let it happen, get fined, take the flack, and neither Starmer or BJ - or anyone close to them - will EVER raise the subject again !

I dont get it, I know Starmer / Labour will say its due to him being honourable etc etc

If they think by him going it will mean they can score points over the tories during the next decade they must be mad, as the whole scenario I listed it just crazy and as time goes on most will think that ( unless you are a member of CCMB )

but if the Labour Party thought he was the man to make the UK better ( and he could well be ) , then just apologise and move on, Give the guy a chance to make difference ( same goes for Raynor )

I do think it's better on here it allows all views and more contributions like or hate them.

Perhaps it's becoming more of a Libertarian messagboard ?
