...The Telegraph understands the decision was taken after media reports revealed she had not told the full story over the conviction to Sir Keir Starmer. The exact nature of the new information is not known. However, The Times was told there had been more than one incident involving a missing...

A conditional discharge would be filtered after 11 years from DBS checks, whereas a suspended sentence would never be filtered. Dunno if this was a factor... Maybe if a conviction was highly likely.

Someone making a mistake and thinking something had been stolen in, say, a mugging or burglary or whatever, and reporting an item stolen in the confusion/immediate aftermath, which subsequently turns out not to have been stolen, is fairly understandable, surely. That would be a low level...

It’s more a statement of fact than a dig. She was a dead woman walking the minute she (rightly) highlighted the scandalous employment practices of P&O. She’d also, I read, written to Starmer about Reeves cuts to non-protected departments. Amazingly, weeks later an ancient event regarding two...

I thought we'd finally found some common ground Broggers, but you had to have that little dig at St Keir at the end :(

I hear the folk band Half a Shilling from Phoenix Nights will be playing social evenings at future Labour Party conferences.

Tough on immigration. Tough on the causes of immigration. That’s Keir “send them all back” Starmer for you

...no other choice given the situation that we’re in. So those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden. (Source: Sir Keir Starmer's speech on fixing the foundations of our country: 27 August 2024) Why Starmer chose to give rich lawyers a break in the Budget and punish...

Appropriately enough (to Pickman's model point above) this Substack entry today from Peter Geoghegan neatly draws the line of New Labour corruption straight into the Starmer fold:

She's the Home Secretary , a post of which I got the impression was responsible for law enforcement

The whole world sees these double-standards. The last mainstream politician in power in Britain who I can think of that had even a tiny bit of credibility was Robin Cook. People scoffed when he spoke about an ethical foreign policy, but the intention was genuine. And he had time for this spat...

Yeh but it's different when it's his mates they're coming after

TBF the answer from a Labour party MP doesn't surprise me. It's the line they have been taking. Not following US but trying for a centre ground approach. Of course when it comes to Ukraine that's different...

Presumably, the decision is not in any way connected with these comments four days ago: Starmer says police should focus on ‘what matters most’ amid Pearson tweet investigation

Trump absolutely is charismatic. I'm not sure why anyone would bother to deny that tbh, it's not an endorsement of him to say that, all sorts of appalling people are charismatic. He couldn't do what he has if he was the US Keir Starmer though could he.

I'm sorry I missed that first time round!
