                 Or, a member of the government saying "I think I've had my phone pinched"



Can I clarify which member of the government thought they had their phone pinched?

Louise Haigh - she was mugged 10 years ago and amongst items reported stolen was her mobile phone - subsequently she found it hadn't been stolen (genuine mistake or deliberately?) - and started using it without reporting it and was subsequently charged with fraud.

To me wrong but probably no worse than exaggerating  an insurance claim - to be honest after her P&O gaff and her more left leaning I think Starmer was happy to use this excuse even though she had already declared this event to him years ago

Overall not a huge story but at least quick action

The Louise Haigh story is testing the moral gymnastics of some to it's maximum isn't it.

Some have almost tied themselves in knots with their outrage at a police caution ten years ago while happily backing individuals who have committed much more serious offences.

Totally agree Hammer. The right pounces on it with relish and people like Mr Manwork just lap it up.

Any chance of not using the word 'scum' Mr Manwork? I am sure the large majority of politicians of all stripes work hard for what they believe in and for the greater good of us all.

It may not be a huge story for the one eyed left BUT do you really think the CPS would have prosecuted her for what she claims she did wrong?
She was in government a convicted fraudster and a liar FACT.

Do you honestly believe that? Personally I think it’s inconceivable that description is the norm rather than the exception. Scum is a bit strong though, I prefer confused, misguided and self serving.

Louise Haigh - she was mugged 10 years ago

So 10 years ago, she was not a member of the government. I believe that not only was she not an MP, but she wasn't even a prospective candidate for MP.

That's a bit different to misconduct in office. But having said that, my good friend Comrade Manny hasn't forgiven his favourite bit of rough, Angela for having a child out of wedlock younger than the usual age.

Let’s be honest mate, whilst he wasn’t partying all day there’s a fair chance he was partying most days. At least the new lot are taking that particular recreation offshore, often at others expense. Old Boris needs to learn discretion, I know the new lot got caught but that’s not their fault.

What part of what I wrote where I said what she did was wrong did you not understand? - I know you struggle with nuanced thinking but that was fairly uncomplicated.

As for seriousness - in a ranking to crimes committed by MPs over the years not really a big story particularly as the conviction was spent and occurred long before becoming an MP

You really do struggle with perspective in your hatred of the left don’t you?

“You lot”? As I’ve stated before…… you have absolutely no idea what my political beliefs are! What I do know is right from wrong 😘

I see you more as an anarcho syndicalist, who may have been a hard Marxist in his more juvenile days.  Your flag is a bit of a giveaway.  POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

In my younger days I was slightly to the left of Mao Zedong and would have expropriated the expropriators and their running dog lackeys. These days I like a nice cup of tea and a Tunnock’s tea cake!
I have gentler aspirations now, a more equitable society free from division and hate. And a world free of trolls and the suchlike

Exactly that, to question or challenge does not mean you automatically take the opposite stance- ni à gauche ni à droite!
