Apparently, because we know that he commonly breaks the rules, it’s acceptable that he breaks the rules…

For balance - It’s not just Boris though, is it Hugh?

Nothing Boris hasn't done more than once, so looks like Boris is still higher up the wrong doing league table than Keir.

The 'they're all as bad as each other' thing is why it's important Starmer goes if he is fined. We need a draw a line rather than just excuse things because other politicians did it. Boris Johnson needs to be an aberration and not the new baseline by which to judge others

What’s this?

A competition to see whose more badder?

A rule breaker is a rule breaker.

Sweet Jeez, there me thinking I’d left the school playground. This is really pathetic. :rolleyes:

Pretty sure repeat offenders are treated more severely in most cases…

If you an expert in criminology, enlighten me, if not. Not interested in your wild subversions.

Starmer was a Remainer who steadfastly tried to undo the Referendum result. That must be somewhere up the wrongdoing league.

I'm sure it's worth a point or two yes, but how many points would you give for writing both a leave and remain speech to help hedge your bets with public opinion?

Well, you're right, of course. Boris is orders of magnitude worse.

But make no mistake, all ambitious politicians have something of the Boris in them and Starmer is on that road. Plus, I'm a Conservative!

What is taking Durham police so long? It's one event. Even the Met police didn't take this long per party.

It's in Labour's interests for this to be cleared up as soon as possible. Starmer has neutralised it by offering to resign if he gets an FPN.

Offering to resign because you got caught lying[assuming he gets a fpn] is neutralising what exactly.

Starmer "politicised" it by offering to resign if he got an FPN, ahead of any investigation.
