Joe Anderson was caught and is being prosecuted.

He hasn’t been charged yet has he? Did I miss that?

My mistake.

Undoubtedly, but you don't get to hear about them because they just get on with doing their job.

Are there any honest politicians?

It’s never fine for anyone, PM or MP or Councillor, if proven corruption, fraud, has taken place.Note the word proven.

Just to add to the pot, check out BBC Wales website on Labour administration issuing contracts to Labour companies without due tender process, cue wailing from tories and Plaid Cymru...

I think you will find that the Mayor of Liverpool had quite a bit of power! Which he misused of course.
Probably the tip of the iceberg and shows that MP’s and Councillors from both major parties like to shove their snouts in the corruption trough.

So it's absolutely fine for PMs and ex PMs to do the same?

Yep- they've all been charged. Also they are not in power and 'running' I would replace with 'destroying' the country. Labour has zero power and has not been in government for 11 years. Funny how they still get the flack though...

I won't hold my breath.

Good to see that they have been charged or arrested though, and not getting away with corruption, fraud etc.

Exactly! It's certainly good to see they've been charged, so when are those in government going to be charged?
