Breaking news over at Sky. Surely to goodness she hasn’t the effrontery to remain in post, as THE senior law officer in England and Wales. Keep voting in my little poll HERE. Results at the end of the day, that’s if she lasts that long.
UPDATE: 02.30pm
The mind numbing crust of the woman. She says she’s not resigning. Abso-blooming-lutely shameful. This isn’t any old minister we’re talking about, it’s the most senior law officer in the land. Excuse me, the country has a right to expect the highest levels of probity from it’s most senior law officers. The media are not impressed:
- Iain Martin speculates on the real reason for her not resigning
- Paul Waugh is shocked by her lack of contrition
Just as Iain Martin says, can you imagine a local magistrate surviving in similar circumstances. No, nor can I. This case, more than any other ministerial blame avoidance, will do more damage to Labour than any other. Easy to say – Labour ministers are above the law, even when found out they carry on regardless.
