Not a witch hunt on my part as my previous posts show, you say if she has done wrong she should be sacked then say but if an expert advised her then is it her fault ? So we are back to where I came in.
How do you know which one it was? Was it the expert who turns out not to be an expert at all or Angela getting advice on what she may get away with.
Are we letting off everyone who claims an expert suddenly didn't know what they'were talking about, in private, with no proof, yeah that bloke said it was fine.
BTW it's called a 2nd opinion not a 20th opinion.
But hey let's be gullible and believe neither the housing minister or an 'expert' did their homework which just happened to make her 40k better off.
So you knew about the bit that says
