"It is no clear that the entire process was tainted, and that the investigation should be deemed null and void".
(Oh hang on - that would mean having to ask someone else to repeat the investigation....)
(Is there any way of binning the Gray report without reconsidering the evidence? I can see...
Apologies. I mistook your concern for skepticism.
I suppose it could be seen as risky, but she appears to be the complete antithesis of, say, the clown, Cummins, that Johnson appointed who quit and then stabbed Johnson in the face.
This, I suspect is why the tories are furious. And risky...
It amused me, when searching to see who will make the decision on her appointment, that many outlets, Sky News, Independent online and others, are reporting 'Tory FURY' at the appointment.
I am not sure that FURY is likely to be their best strategy. Of course they are furious - that someone...
I have made further reference to this, above.
In short, the best Sunak can do to disrupt this process is, perhaps, to retrospectively invoke a period of gardening leave (just as Dan Ashworth was required to do, albeit this was in Ashworth's contract). Sue Grey has already resigned as a civil...
You have a point. Blair set up an instant rebuttal unit to deal with tory medial lies when in opposition. No doubt we have moved on a bit now in terms of organization. I don't see any need for Starmer to do anything presently. If others are correct the appointment has to be sanctioned by Sunak...
Someone I have on ignore, perchance? The ignore function is now so efficient that if a numpty starts a numpty thread I not only don't see the post I don't see the thread either. It's Heavenly :lolol:
Oh, my giddy aunt.
This is a turbo version of the 'they are all as bad as each other' trope that was being pedaled as Johnson stumbled from fiasco to another.
Oh well, those who live in a Daily Fail silo will never see Starmer as anything other than a devious corrupt baby-eating communist...
OK. Interesting. A bit like the gardening leave that Ashworth was forced to endure before becoming head of bar-coding. Except that Gray is not swapping a job with one team for the same job with an opponent of the first team.
Should be interesting to see how Sunak decides to maximize political...
Some extraordinary wing-nut conspiracy lunatics on radio 5 right now.
One prat is suggesting that Starmer bribed Sue Grey with the job he has now offered her in order to falsely find Johnson guilty of breaking his own Covid rules. Unbelievable.
Well, fine.
Do you really imagine that Sunak will block her appointment (if he can), though? It would be an act of petty vindictiveness. However he has already shown that he is just another gas-lighter with his pathetic attempts to paint Starmer as a stooge of Corbyn.
So Sunak will certainly...
