I agree but Starmer, even given the enormous open goal in front of him, seems incapable of finding the net. He has no charisma and poor political instincts.

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
 

I’m loathed to commend Starmer - and I’m inclined to think he is playing a good strategy by accident in that “doing nothing” is an unusual strategy - however in this case letting the Tories cannibalise each other over the right to represent corporate interests over their constituents might actually just work. It avoids the classic trope of being accused of “playing politics”. So long as the “VIP fast lane” is dominating the news and everyone bar the Telegraph is gunning for Johnson sitting back with your feet up might actually achieve more.

Que?

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
 

I suggest that you read Leadsom’s proposed amendment before digging yourself a deeper hole, Dave.

The amendment stated that the disciplinary action should be stayed until a right of appeal was established.

That was rejected by the House and so it was withdrawn.

Out of that come all this drama. The easiest and quickest way out of this is to apologise, so apology given.

I have no problem with that. But Starmer is a damp squib.

Just to show how bad it is for the Tories in the midst of this Corruption storm, here's a post from Isabel Oakeshott, yes that Isabel Oakeshott!
