Starmer did nothing wrong? And you're basing that statement on today's announcement I take it?

Let him without sin and all that .... still, as long as you're sure.

Whether he did something wrong is subjective. It is pretty clear that he didn't break the law.

Is the correct answer. It would be nice if he could say that, but I understand why he never would.

Bad week for the daily mail
2 weeks they spent on this story which wasn't a story
Harry has won part of his court case against them
And Boris resigned.

The right wing hacks are losing their minds. Yet not a single one of them will put in a formal complaint

12 solid days of front page headlines from Dacre's organ. War in Ukraine, cost of living going through the roof, taxes at a 70 year high, hospitals at breaking point, thousands a day getting COVID....none of that as important as this nonsense and a chance to deflect From 'their guys' industrial scale criminality in No.10.

Hope Starmer remembers this and has plans to outlaw non-dom owned news outlets in the UK as soon as he gains power.

Lefties loving their gloating :lol: enjoy it while you can.

Edit: In case that sounds ‘sneering’, I actually mean it. Enjoy the moment, politics can change quickly.

Was thinking this week morning, besides anything else, too long in power for one party is never healthy, maybe it is time for Labour to have a go?

There is nothing left wing about centrist wet lettuce Kier Starmer so i’m not sure any ‘lefties’ are celebrating too much.

It’s a shame I would have loved him to go so that Labour can get someone that actually stand for something as leader instead of the vacuous empty suit

Yep. Michael Barton, ex-Chief Constable is it bang-on the money ...

It had all the hallmarks of a political smear campaign, not a fair and justified criminal investigation. The legislation around Covid was to prevent the disease spreading, and not to be used as a form of revenge. I feel sorry for Durham police, they have been dragged into something that takes them away from their primary duty of keeping the people of Durham safe. Did Durham police have to get involved? The police have to be seen to be fair, and their judgment was that to be seen to be fair, they had to investigate. This has taken experienced detectives away from proper police work.

I remember that last guy that stood for something that was Labour leader. He delivered an 80 seat majority for the Conservatives.

so empty that he's seen Boris off quite comfortably and him with an eighty seat majority too, one can only surmise what levels of emptiness he can aspire to if he ever gains any degree of majority
