Cable Forum - Starmer’s chronicles

Looks like she is probably in the clear unless something else comes up. The letting agency explicitly told her they were applying the licence, only for the person making the promise to resign before they did. Leaving both Reeves thinking it was done, and the agency unaware of this.

The agency has apologised:

Yep, story over move on to next scandal.

I think it's quite clever that when the person that did the promising (by letter? ) resigned, somebody who then took over their (unfinished) workload didn't spot it.

There again, I'm probably just looking for a scapegoat . . . oh wait :D

Perhaps it was an elaborate set-up to catch her out :erm:

One day hopefully we will get a selection of MPs that are in politics to actually run the country for our benefit.

So voting Lib Dem next time ? ;) Mind you even they sold out in 2010, when they saw a chance of govt. All power corrupts.

A benevolent dictator might be our best chance. The public cant be trusted with their vote anymore, they make daft descisions for the wrong reasons.e.g. who they hate least, or who sounds or looks nicer or who is 'trending'. ( i blame reality tv).

They were naive, unforgivable really considering they’re the party that wants electoral reform of the sort that actually causes coalitions almost every time. They know - or ought to - that they’ll never form a majority government alone and that their pitch, if delivered honestly, ought to reflect that. But they never have. They’ve always preferred to assume they’ll never have to deliver on any promise they ever make, and can therefore spend their time navel gazing, virtue signalling and running intensely local campaigns that aren’t above contradicting each other when convenient.

Having to deal with Commie symps and other undesirables would test the meaning of "benevolent".

Christopher Biggins is the man to take us forward, as a benevolent dictator. He couldn't possibly be nasty and would insist everyone is nice to each other ( or else!)
