I thought it was more to do with the Tory party machine pointing out to Mrs May that she's up against the biggest f****** idiot the Labour Party has ever elected, and what's more the majority of the country knows it.

If you've been 'investigating' why use a link to a rag and not your own words? As lazy as lazy journalism.

This is a side-show compared to the issues at hand. TM is taking a big gamble calling a snap election and it could well back-fire. Many thought Brexit and Trump wasn't going to happen and IMHO the 'vote for change' trend could see Corbyn elected.

Duh. It's a quote from the article. It's a good piece. Who'd have thought the Mail would expose Tory cronyism. There's no doubt the government would bend over backwards to help their mates in big business.

Extremely pathetic that some posters on this thread are calling 'fake news' because it's something they don't like when there is a lot of factual information. What morons.

Why feel the need to be abusive to other posters? Says more about you than them. You said you had been looking into stuff but you come up with a link. I sir, would suggest you've not been looking at all and just fumbled your way upon the story.

Yep, failing to see what it has to do with the election.

It has become extremely clear that no other main stream media is going to report the corruption; Have you noticed that there was barely any coverage of the Mail exposure anywhere else?
*
This is not accidental; it is a deliberate and conscious effort to cover up this toxic story and serious questions need to be asked as to why.
*
Some have stated that the Cameron /Osborne corruption is so toxic, and that along with the Tory 2015 Election expenses scandal it could be the reason why Theresa May called a snap election (after stating for months that she categorically would not do so)
*
It needs to be understood that it would have been very difficult for Theresa May to not be aware of what was taking place with Cameron and Osborne and even if she was not directly complicit, she is indirectly complicit by ignoring their corruption.

She was Home Secretary throughout Cameron’s time as Prime Minister and was the longest serving Home Secretary in 60 years. What that tells you is that alongside the Prime Minister and Chancellor she was in the most senior role in Government and that she was extremely close to Cameron and Osborne, otherwise she would not have stayed in the job for the entire time Cameron was Prime Minister.*

The FOIs reported in the Mail exposure confirmed that Downing Street Staff were involved in setting up meetings with TFL and that they then tried to cover these meetings up by providing false information in response to the FOIs saying that the meetings had not taken place.
*
The fact that Theresa May has called a snap election could well have been influenced by the exposure of this toxic corruption because if the full facts are reported she could well be implicated. If she wins the Election, it will provide her with separation from Cameron’s Government and from the 2015 Election expenses scandal.
*
The only person who can initiate a Public Inquiry into the corruption involving Cameron, Osborne, Johnson and TFL is the Prime Minister.
The only time that she is vulnerable to the further exposure of the corruption is now.*

As things stand she is likely to have a significant majority*after June 8th*and will then be invincible.*
*
The only time that protests are likely to have any affect is NOW before the election; afterwards she won’t care
