Interesting piece about the “no evidence” part of the rebuttals.
At least the police kept records. The CPS file was “destroyed” on October 26, 2010, and Levitt was therefore dependent upon records kept by police. The details from the CPS side were not available to her and so she was not able to comment upon them. This is the context for her conclusion that “I have seen nothing to suggest that the decisions not to prosecute were consciously influenced by any improper motive on the part of either police or prosecutors.” Levitt makes clear that “I have been dependent on the material provided by the police to show what documents were seen by the reviewing lawyer and the advice which was given.”
She’s not an MP at the moment, but I quite like Laura Pidcock. She’s had some time outside of the cut and thrust and would welcome her return back to Parliament.
Northern, socialist and without the baggage of Corbyn.
I’ve seen some interesting analysis lately, none of it particularly new. The parties we’ve got are broad churches, too broad as it goes. Hopefully the Labour Party will go bankrupt and the split that has needed to happen for 40 years will happen. It’s closer in tone to the original SDP than it is to the original Labour.
Big difference between Labour and Conservatives is that the Tories can stand to be in the same church as each other.
I realize that Sir Keir has a lot on his plate at the moment, busy aping Johnson and Truss by flying to Estonia for photo opportunities sitting on tanks, but I do hope he will find the time to address the hypocrisy and double standards regarding his political mentor, now puppet master the noble Lord Mandelson. I won’t be holding my breath though!
And what have we here? Surely some mistake, everybody knows that the last leader of the Labour Party was a treasonous Putin lover who hates his country, we’ve been told enough times. Surely it wasn’t a pack of lies? Tell me it’s not true!
What a corrupt, lying hypocritical country this has become over the last few years.
