She did the correct thing and so did he. Accountability at last.

Think they could have spent some political capital on this and maybe rode it out. But that's probably what the other lot would have done.

2tone4real.bsky.social•94 days ago

Not a lot of political capital currently though…

domdoodle.bsky.social•94 days ago

Agreed. Keep what they have got in reserve.

aev1609.bsky.social•94 days ago

That is a shame as she was a breath of fresh air but...
Labour have standards unlike the other lot.

2tone4real.bsky.social•94 days ago

I quite…err…liked her 😜

Who broke the story thro ? This is a spent conviction so the only people to discover it in 2024 is someone doing an Enhanced DBS check on her.

2tone4real.bsky.social•94 days ago

Irrelevant I’m afraid

r8sdy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Why?

2tone4real.bsky.social•94 days ago

She has been found out.

It’s politics sadly.

r8sdy.bsky.social•94 days ago

True, didn’t they have a disagreement over something a few weeks ago? If this is how she has been got rid off then that needs calling out as well.

2tone4real.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yep I spotted that too!

burstdrum.bsky.social•94 days ago

Rather strange.

Reform MP Convicted of assault on his girlfriend- not a problem.

Mistakenly including a cell phone on a list of stolen items, later corrected when phone found, and it’s a resignation issue.

Seems a tad weird.

burstdrum.bsky.social•94 days ago

Though, apropos of nothing, she was cross with P&O when they sacked hundreds of staff. And they are now flavour of the month.

2tone4real.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yeah, funny that…although it was the parent company…

drslimslimwino.bsky.social•94 days ago

Unless it happens to be Wes Streeting.

2tone4real.bsky.social•94 days ago

What did he do? Genuinely don’t know.

drslimslimwino.bsky.social•94 days ago

Different versions of the story relating to the Kitty Coral pet shop.🤷‍♂️
