For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Just shows really how thick the cons are to carry on with their crooked activities and still thinking they can get away with such, and at the same time drag their feet with bringing the 200 million PPE crooks through the court. But eh, look on the bright side, everytime they are exposed for their scams, the more votes lost, even though they've already lost. :0)
I sense huge fear among the Labour party and their supporters. The spectre of Kinnochio celebrating "victory" in 1992 looms large. The polls are great yet they know that a world record swing is needed to overturn the Tory majority. The multiple by election buoys the mood yet the undeniable knowledge that by elections usually revert injects a slug of fear. We are miles ahead how can we lose? Yet mini crises emerge like a cruel game of Whack a mole. Doubt creeps in, can we lose from here? Is that possible? Why in our 124 year existence have we been in power only 24 years? Is there something we are missing? How can the Tories have been in power for 70 of those years?

He says he //was instructed by a senior civil servant [who?] to stall on compensation payments to the Horizon victims so that the government could "limp into the election" later this year with the lowest possible financial liability.
Kemi Badenoch's department have denied the claims and referred to the conversation as "simply incorrect".
“The Government has sped up compensation to victims, and consistently encouraged postmasters to come forward with their claims.
"In fact, upon appointment, Mr Staunton was set concrete objectives, in writing, to focus on reaching settlements with claimants – clear evidence of the Government’s intent.//
He's been sacked. Sour grapes.
