Not really comparable though, is it.

It seems it’s not a criminal offence.

It may have been in the 1920s United States.

I assume that would kick in if the money wasn’t or couldn’t be paid back?

The last similar(ish) I can think of was Nadhim Zahawi. That was a far larger amount but he paid the fine with no criminal charges.

As I said, I’m no expert and just repeating what I’ve read.

That’s so true.

If he’d done the same he’d get a standing ovation at the upcoming conference.

Not an expert but I don’t think it’s a criminal offence.

I’m quite glad Lammy has gone across. The deputy position is pretty powerless.

My take on it is this.

1. She had to go. I won’t go down the road of ‘but the Tories’. Labour can’t pretend to set a standard then fall so far below it.

2. In her career, she has some huge achievements around women’s safety and workers rights.

3. Prior to this incident she has received shocking treatment by some be being a working class female who has risen from poverty and doesn’t dress in the way some think she should.

100% on tripe!

The only other thing I won't eat is coriander - tastes like soap to me.

I expect there will be some incidents.

I really hope not, but I expect these to be outnumbered by boozed up thugs who've found an excuse to behave poorly.

Edit: Unless of course the weather is poor and I expect a lot of them will just stay in the pub.

We never gained anything from being part of the EU?

I would never call anyone with a different opinion to me an idiot but that seems like very ideological point of view.

That's a fair comment.

But if we knew what would be there in it's place I wouldn't have been so flippant.

I'd like to think that too but it's not a good look at all.

She did self refer but I can't tell yet if she jumped first.

In that if we leave the EHCR we need to know what the alternative is so we're suitably informed.

Thinking that we just must leave doesn'y always redsult in more freedom hence my examples of Russia and Belarus.

As with their other policies I can't judge Reform as I don't know what they're intending to do.

How's that working out in Belarus and Russia?

I can't comment on Reform's policy as it dont kno what would be in their Bill of Rights.

And in a democracy you are allowed to keep making the argument if a vote goes against you, especially when further evidence comes to light.

As for the tax situation, I don't the EU had any bearing on the powers the UK govenrment has, except of course the cost to the economy and challenges to grouth not being in the single market means revenue has to come from somewhere.
