All above board then:

Unacceptable, but actually, acceptable, seemingly:

is this a breach of the FOI act or does it just highlight it’s inadequacy? looks like the former (having only read this tweet and not knowing anything about it otherwise)

I missed this at the time, Gavin Essler bizarrely claiming to have spent the 80s asking IRA members questions about Joromy Crubbins

This Dodgy Dave Cameron stuff, then.

Nobody’s going to give a fuck, are they

There’ll be a report in a year or two saying he did stuff that he shouldn’t have, but that he broke no rules, and that the rules should maybe be tightened in future.

It’s received a fair amount of broadsheet coverage, but not the kind of headlines and wall-to-wall 9-day news domination that is necessary to affect anything really.

It’s interesting that the Times have started running it when it was discovered that it could be tied to Sunak and Hancock and definitely not their man Gove.

Not that the papers would work with Labour on this, but they’re not making anything of it either.

Not sure where else to put this: why does Shaun Bailey’s logo look like he’s some sort of washing powder?

The British Medical Journal are on the war path. :muscle:

Science is being suppressed for political and financial gain. Covid-19 has unleashed state corruption on a grand scale, and it is harmful to public health.1 Politicians and industry are responsible for this opportunistic embezzlement. So too are scientists and health experts. The pandemic has revealed how the medical-political complex can be manipulated in an emergency—a time when it is even more important to safeguard science.

Of course

I notice that the Mail On Sunday also picked up on the David Evans/Croydon/Brick By Brick/TCC stuff that Private Eye and Inside Croydon have been covering.

Any hope that Labour had of making this lobbying thing stick to the Tories is just not going to be allowed to happen, is it?

Tory Equalities Minister

[De Cordova] is clearly determined to create a divisive atmosphere around race in this house, and in this country, and we will not stand for it.
We continue to push for a fairer Britain, for levelling up, they continue to look for division, they continue to stoke culture wars, and then claim that we are the ones fighting them.

Straight out trumpism say that the other side are doing what you’re doing
