It's amazing, isn't it, how many troughs these little piggies have their snouts in, yet still people vote for them. Do British people have masochistic tendencies do you think? How long before Boris 'liar liar pants on fire' Johnson is hauled up on charges of euphemistically named 'irregularities?' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But isnt he trying to save Liberty steel? Greensill, which collapsed earlier this month, is a key backer of UK giant Liberty Steel.

He only wants to save them because he has huge stock options in Greensill. He will lose millions if they don't stay afloat.

Maybe they are a bit busy reporting the actual news rather than idle gossip from some tart with an axe to grind selling her "story" to the tabloids. Outcome of the police investigation - nothing. Outcome of the GLA investigation - no rules broken. The absolute best they could come up with was to murmur it was "unwise" not to mention any alleged relationship... That's it. End of so called story. Just a load of people stirring the pot, which is very coincidentally timed with the start campaigning for local elections. I do wonder what backroom machinery is churning away in Starmer HQ to drag out this dead horse of a 'scandal' into circulation again.

One only has to look at the coverage of racism in political parties a couple of years ago to see how racism in the Labour Party was given huge prominence (e.g. being the lead story to the BBC's news programmes), yet evidence of racism in the Tory Party at the same time was given less prominence .
