Has our country ever been in such a state?

How much confidence do we have in the Met that they will investigate the blackmail?

Dear oh dear

I assumed it’s always been this way. I’ve never had very high expectations from the majority of MPs or those within that circle.

Good grief - my bar is set much higher and I expect those rules to be met.

From the i - also in the link given
The Government has been accused of blackmailing MPs to ensure they continue to stand by Boris Johnson.
Senior Tory MP William Wragg, the Chairman of the Commons Public Administration Committee, has claimed whips have threatened to withdraw Government funding from rebellious MPs’ areas.
He also claims some in Government have considered leaking harmful stories to the press about rebellious MPs

Why am I saddened, angered, but not surprised ?

Disturbing - but as expected, sadly:

I’ve just read that story on ITV news. If it is true it’s appalling.
