Clearly not the same rules for every politician then! What a surprise?

Have you read the rules?

When Starmer had his beer the rules had changed so 6 could get together eat and drink whatever .
So no rules were broken. Why it took so long to come to a decision is for us to wonder. It would have taken a minute to check date against rules at the time. No reason fir it to drag on fir a year. Maybe pressure from powerful people? Who knows! smile

Well theres a difference between over 100 people and multiple parties /karioke/Abba themed/ boyb /leaving dos when such gatherings were not permitted, and a small group who were on the campaign trail having a curry and a beer before staying at an hotel at time when work gatherings were permitted. If you can't see that you are definitely being gaslit..

It isn't a question of "no fine".
Forgive me for shouting but
THERE IS NO CASE TO ANSWER.

They must have been very confident of that verdict when they both said they’d resign if found guilty. Mind you I bet they are relieved.

Do we think this was the right decision and do we think it puts the party in a better position when we finally get a general election ?
