Rushanara Ali a touch of hypocrisy?

She was probably 'invited' to resign by No. 10. It was more than 'a touch' of hypocrisy. Good riddance in my opinion.

So adept are many politicians (of all parties) at keeping their snouts in the trough, the right thing is never thought about - until they get caught and then cries of oh it's ok because they've done the right thing and resigned as though that makes everything right, which it doesn't.

This has already been discussed on another thread, so I'm not sure why you reached the conclusion that you have, Mollygo.

I suspect the silence is because others besides those who have pm’d me think the same, but don’t want to criticise the government only to be shouted down by those supporters

What???

Have you read all the posts on various threads criticising the government to the Nth degree! The fear of being disagreed with doesn’t usually stop anyone from commenting on here.

Maybe folk just can’t be bothered with this one🤷‍♀️

Well no, I think it is probably because people have already commented on topic on the other thread about it that was started a few days ago.

That's irrelevent- she did the right thing and resigned. She's gone.

Not irrelevant at all. Did none know when she was appointed to that position, that she has a vested interest in doing the exact opposite of what the government policy was claiming to do.
As school governors we have to declare any possible conflict of interests.
Thank you for answering and thanks for the pm responses.

She did the right thing and resigned.

Agreed, but if she hadn’t, would she have been sacked? That’s the question.

She did the right thing and resigned.
