the_bloke   17 #1059 Posted May 20, 2021 The investigation into ex Hull MP Mike Hill basically concludes that as soon as he was elected in 2017 he gave her a job in his office without any due process, then basically groomed her from that point on into trying to have an affair whilst his wife and family were back at home, even to make sure that their accommodation in London only had one bed.  Nice 😕 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Oh come on, even the hardcore right wing racists who vote UKIP aren't stupid enough to vote for them enough to get them more than a handful of seats in Parliament if that!   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
