I see we've moved from "the PM definitely lied to Parliament" to "there's definitely a cover up". There is scrutiny. The Select Committee are looking at it, and Starmer's had UQs and the normal PMQs. Note the silly Boris Johnson comparison too.

On the plus side, Ed's not going down well BTL. Anybody on Bluesky fancy reminding Ed of the time the Lib Dems (whipped) abstained on an investigation into Jeremy Hunt over the BSkyB takeover?

Deservedly getting a kicking over Horizon, I see.

I know they were the smaller party in the coalition. but that abstention on investigating Hunt (a mere Ministerial Code investigation, I think, not the Star Chamber that Kemi will have planned now) was pretty poor. I don't know what they got in return for that favour. I doubt Vince Cable was impressed, having had the BSkyB decision taken away from him and given to Hunt. Maybe Vince sounded off in The Observer that weekend, which is something I recall from the period. This was very David Brent "you should have seen me in there".

Give them a free vote if they vote for Christmas they are absolutely stupid.

I’m done with the lot of them, no one has yet to contradict the PM whether that be ministers or civil servants. There maybe issues about other things.
