The Conservative Party

[Vic]

Not really.

It’s an open secret that a senior cabinet minister has been caught playing away.

Diane’s shitstirring.

Is it defamatory then, or can she plead truth as a defence?

Robin Cook resigned on principle, not because of any wrongdoing by him.

Yes, he Howe and Heseltine were rather rare examples in the modern day of resigning on principle.

Parkinson and Mellor - they were both sex scandals
Archer and Aitken - committed perjury
Vaz - over the Hindiujah's - took Mandelson with him for a second time

They are just a few others that come to mind - didn't Profumo quit too?

Wasn't that (as they say these days) Keelergate?
I remember a Giles cartoon at the time, depicting a very posh dinner party, where all the males were diving out of the windows as the butler announces "My lords, ladies and gentlemen, may I present Miss Christine K......"

A few allegations in there, I'd be attaching your sources just in case, then you can say you were just repeating what was in the public domain to the judge.

FFS it’s been published in every paper

Come on which of you gave this lot a majority in 2019? Your health and your livelihood put in the hands of people who were more concerned about writing books about Shakespeare and fingering some bird they fancied at uni. Oh well we got our brexit though.

Strange thing to tweet?

What a laughing stock these politicians are. Diane Abbott is the thickest politician ever to speak yet here she is point scoring on fucking Twitter. It’s the reason why I don’t vote anymore. These posh bellends have no say on my life and thank fuck that is the case.
