So James Dellingpole’s son secretly filmed Starmer and passed it to Lawrence Fox who tried to make it a thing but couldn’t because it paled into insignificance versus what Johnson was up to.

We are now at the stage where the client journalists/commentators are genuinely arguing that if Starmer is found to have not broken the law then he has questions to answer. Unlike Johnson who has broken the law demonstrably and repeatedly

And now Starmer has said he’ll resign if fined we are told that he’s pressuring the investigation. This country is broken, it’s government, it’s press, it’s moral compass. We are fucked.

Reader. The ‘EU red tape’ was drafted, ratified and legislated for by us when we were in the EU. It applies to all those with third-country status. That sovereignty, which we never lost, is not going to save us in January. The Express is blaming the EU for us leaving the EU
