Are you suggesting these multiple aliases could be the same person ? š®Ā Typical of a woke posh over educated Marxist Corbyn loving poster like you to pick up on it though !Ā As soon as he signed off as Les, it was pretty obvious.Ā What a boring life he must have.Ā Crossed my mind too, he's a she, as confirmed to Oldie.

Looks like we may rejoin Horizon, maybe.
Leaving the ECHR would also affect the Good Friday Agreement and upset the Whitehouse. So much for taking back control, we've outsourced our membership of an international legal court to the US. š

The Chris Pincher report comes out on Thursday, likely to trigger another by-election.

More speculation on the Farage vs the Bank story. "Asked by Sky News about the minimum limit, Mr Farage said: "No threshold has ever been mentioned to me. The current position is higher than for much of the last decade. They are hiding behind this." Speaking later on the BBC, Mr Farage again did not deny he was below the above-mentioned thresholds for Coutts - but said he had "more money sitting on my current account than I should", and repeated that the issue of the wealth cap had not been raised before. The Coutts website clearly indicates to anyone inquiring about becoming a member that there are minimum levels of money required. Coutts has refused to comment, but it is understood the bank makes decisions about whether to end a relationship on commercial viability, reputational reasons or legal or regulatory requirements." news.sky.com/story/nigel-farage-doesnt-deny-he-fell-below-wealth-cap-at-coutts-bank-used-by-royals-12914753

I can't see the issue. She was appointed to investigate. She already had a personal political stance, as we all do. Even Boris couldn't seriously insist on a Tory-only COVID investigator, although I bet he tried in private. Her investigation was hijacked and corrupted and delayed and ruined by the truly corrupt Johnson. She got a new job, no doubt very peeved that she'd been used by the government playing her off against the Met Police investigation. That's it. What's she meant to do? Retire to the Outer Hebrides? At the time of her investigation, most people saw her as independent...but aside from her new job (which suggests her political leanings) it has since emerged there were other party political issues with her report - the only QC she picked to advise her on that report was Daniel Stilitz - a Labour Party member who tweeted dozens of anti-Tory/anti-Johnson tweets before and during the period in question. When you then note that she refused to participate in the investigation into her resignation (before taking the job with Labour), that both she and the Labour party have given multiple and wildly contradictory answers on multiple occasions about when and how she was approached over taking the job, plus that fact that her son wants to/is standing as a Labour councillor, surely we have to at least question the impartiality of her findings....? Findings that the Parliamentary Privileges Committee heavily relied on their 'independent' inquiry into Johnson's actions....

Supergas "But she produced what now we can only see as a polititically-moviated investigation into a former Prime Minister that not only removed him from office but was also used as the basis of another politically-motivated inquiry that forced him to resign from Parliament..."
Can I ask, were the Met Police "politically motivated" when they chose to prosecute for breach of lockdown regulations?
You complained about posters not sticking to facts, however your depiction of both enquiries is your opinion (which of course you are perfectly entitled to), not predicated on facts.

He was removed from office by the resignation of his cabinet and ministers over Chris Pincher. He resigned as an MP, prior to an investigation by MPs into him lying to Parliament being published, set up by a Conservative majority House with a Conservative majority membership. Nothing really to do with the Sue Grey report, whom he backed up until publication.

Not just the Armed Forces, I suspect this is reflected across the public sector (MPs aside, of course. š¤)

"The Covid public inquiry could finally gain access to Boris Johnson's WhatsApps from the first year of the pandemic, following a delay. Technicians have been reluctant to turn on the old phone storing messages before May 2021, as the former PM wasn't sure about the pass code. There were fears that getting it wrong could lead to the data being wiped. But the government has now found a record of his PIN number, paving the way for it to be accessed. Experts appointed by the government could now try to access the messages within the next 24 hours, BBC Newsnight understands. The phone - which he used during the crucial early phases of the Covid pandemic - is currently with his lawyers." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-66199658

I see Ben Wallace is going to go to the backbenches in the next reshuffle, expected in the autumn, and leave at the next election.
Sunak must be pleased he's not going sooner as I doubt he'd want another by-election too soon.
Wallace is supposed to announce the results of a defence review tomorrow, wonder if he got a last minute concession and agreed not to resign his seat yet. š¤ Fwiw, the review is likely to be trailed in the Telegraph tonight before formal announcement tomorrow.
