Genuine question, do you not think Osborne is telling the truth that he dare not say while in power, or is it just point scoring against May.

If the Tories can't use the last bullet in their gun, the claim that austerity was Labours fault rather than Conservative party policy, are they not totally F****D?

In the course of my life, five women have told me they'd been raped (I'm sure there are many more, these five knew me well enough to confide in me) - only one of those five went to the police, and they persuaded her to drop the case. You don't need to belong to a cult-like organisation to swerve the police.

In the SWP case, the cover-up did them a lot more harm: they had large scale defections from the party and it's got an appalling reputation among women,

Jesus. That is a damning indictment of our society.

The way that the historic child abuse investigations involving politicians has been dragged out is sickening. It's getting to the point that it looks like deliberate stalling. It needs sorting out once and for all and any culprits brought to book before they're either dead or too old and frail. Make it a Royal Commission, bring in a very top judge or barrister from another Commonwealth country and give it real powers to investigate and to interrogate and a time-frame by which to deliver its findings. I'd include in the remit a request for the Royal Commission to give an opinion on any links to children's homes in Jersey or mainland UK, the Elm Guest House and if possible on the disappearance of the then 15 year old Martin Allen.

Unfortunately power corrupts some people so if they perform an illegal act and are not arrested they will continue to carry on doing it as to them it is perceived as normal behaviour.

Class, political and anything else is irrelevant in my view the fact you are not challenged then perceive it as the norm is the issue

The first of many I suspect. There will be many people in high places fearing how far they are about to fall.

Comments like this are likely to drive the undecided voter into the arms of Jezza, dog whistles to the dogs, notwithstanding. But you already have the dogs.

'along with the banking crisis' Oh, yes, that.

Winston Churchill screwed up England in the 1940s 'along with the war'.

Do yourself a favour and, it you want to see the back of Labour, just, shhhhhh.....

He sure has gone but not for the reason that we all think, in his resignation letter he talks of " Other Allegations " so it seems he has not gone for the hand on knee affair, there's worse to come.

For God's sake - stop turning this into a political argument.

An MPs political party is irrelevant in these circumstances.

But I know I'm banging my head against a wall.....

Party politics aside, this whole media witch hunt was worthy of Halloween time. If flirting with a female colleage , perhaps a hand on knee at a social evening , even an arm around the shoulder if one thought it would be well received , is worthy of such complaints decades later.......then who among us has not been guilty in the past?

I am talking about the office culture of the 70s- 80s..perhaps it is different now. Girls then just dealt with it by a cutting remark if it was misplaced. .Over and done.

If anyone thinks it only happened in Westminster they are wrong. It was the norm for the times......Of course serious allegations such as the Labour Party covering up alleged rape is a totally different matter .
