Nasty, back-stabbing 'Veterans Minister' Kevan Jones has told a committee of MPs that Gurkhas are being misled about their settlement rights and that Lumley had a 'responsibility' to explain.
In response, she issued a statement:
Quote:
Ms Lumley said her team agreed last year to work with the government, but not speak to the press while the settlement policy for former Gurkhas was being decided. "Assurances were made that the campaigners would not speak out in public, but would help the government by working in the background," said the statement.
"Recent personal attacks on Joanna ...made in the press and by a minister under the protection of parliamentary privilege have left no option but to response through the press to set the record straight."

Just goes to show, a leopard really can't change its spots. Nothing but spin, spin, backstabbing and spin.
