    "My integrity has been repeatedly and publicly questioned".

    Yep, that's generally what happens when you're found to be a fraudster.

    Over the last few days it shows that we are at mercy of one of the most dispicable corrupt regimes in my lifetime . It’s also shown that Milliband Reeves and Raynor all did a better job of holding the Government to account that the ‘forensic’ Starmer

    Starmer is a great strategist, the barrister in him tees the PM up every week. The problem is he doesn't have the streetfighter attitude you need at the dispatch box. Great detailed arguments are great but you need to have your opponent stunned or on the canvas for people to take notice of the detail.
    Once you've got em down keep em down, choke the life out of em and when ever possible ridicule them and get society joining in. Law of the jungle.

    I know but this has gone beyond party politics. When I said ‘coalition’ it would involve some Conservatives who are obviously unhappy about democracy being eaten away. How long can they go along with this dictatorship?

    Hold on. Is that Boris standing in front of a flag using some big clever words? He’s got my vote every time.

    Sadly, you also need a media willing to give you fair coverage. Its the media that decides when it switches allegiance and the balance of influence changes.

    Starmers interventions on this have been consistently good. He's been pretty fierce. He's committed some vicious personal attacks on the character of dePfeffel.

    You only have to look at BBC breakfasts coverage of the Paterson debacle first thing today. The tone was along the lines of "some people say he's broken the rules...."

    Whereas a committee has found him guilty of taking £500,000 of money to lobby and hold meetings on ministerial premises. Its corruption. Its fraud.

    But the tone from the political correspondent was to downplay it and not make it sound as serious as it clearly was. We'll see how they cover things tomorrow morning, but I suspect they'll go along the lines of sympathising with the person "choosing to step down", rather than him trying to cover his own hide and running from guilt.

    The political language of the BBC it’s Editors, correspondents, and presenters has continuously spiralled downwards for a long while now. Which is hardly surprising when the Govt handpicks it’s Chiefs and you have wannabes like Kuensberg at the helm.

    I got interviewed by her years ago when she was on the daily politics show. The edit they used was completely out of context. She's a particularly joyless woman. Was surprised she went on to the things she has given her lack of depth. But then you look at her siblings, and they all seem to have benefitted from a leg up.

    Don't know if you saw that dePfeffel flew back on a private jet from COP26 rather than take the train.

    It's now emerged it was to attend an exclusive dinner of former Telegraph journalists at the Garrick Club. Hosted by Charles Moore, sorry, Lord Moore. A well known climate change sceptic and close friend of 45 years of some guy called Owen Paterson.

    Yep, I did. It's just a non-stop tsunami of cuπtery by these tw@t$. Not an advocate of capital punishment, but I'd definitely blow serious coin on a ticket to watch those thieving fu¢ks hang.

    They'd obviously select their own jury which would find them innocent and hand them multi million pound awards for the inconvenience.
