Things starting to be uncovered all over it seems

Illegal actions and bullying of anyone who questions.. who are these people in government?? Dictatorship behaviour.

Also

Turns out Boris knew the protocol for Northern Ireland was not fit for purpose according to senior Tory Gavin Barwell.

Get Brexit done and we’ll worry about the detail later.

Self image above all else in this case.

What a difference it makes when they are investigated by someone actually impartial.

What I dont get is why is there not already in place a an independent watch ,to prevent this type of thing?

Why should someone have to raise money,to get to the truth in court.

Strangely enough I remember a member of the Alex knitting circle being highly critical of the good law project, who have raised it.

Who would have thought it?

The government has defended the cases determinedly, initially trying but failing to have them thrown out, then refusing to limit its costs. That has put the GLP, a not-for-profit organisation that raises money through crowdfunding to support its stated mission to “use the law to protect the interests of the public”, at severe financial risk if it loses and has to pay the government’s costs.

In February, the Government Legal Department notified the GLP that its costs for defending the challenge to the Public First award could reach £600,000, more than the value of the contract.

the GLP have yet to apply to the court for legal costs to be claimed from the government. the government's refusal to limit costs could have indeed backfired in an extremely costly manner.

Just as well they won’t be paying .. it will fall to the taxpayer as usual.

Let’s suggest a Tory backer can have a peerage if they cough the full amount!! Oh silly that would never happen!

Unfortunately i voted blue last time round against my better judgement. The thought of Corbyn as PM was too frightening to even think about for too long.

The reason no blues voters have popped their heads up is very simple, you can't defend the indefensible. In fact what the tories have done here is very similar to what Robert Maxwell used to do on a regular basis.

Hard to defend the indefensible

In this case the obscene way with which this bunch abuse the office of our country’s government is obscene.

Any government that fights off scrutiny is not a democracy in action. We should all be concerned whatever your political leanings.

Donald trump for years didn’t pay bills and fought off smaller creditors by threatening legal action which most could afford to risk!!

Boris and co are cut from similar cloth . Disgusting and an embarrassment to our historic great nation.

I believe that outside of the SW1 political bubble the result of this case will be of little consequence to George and Betty (see earlier post).

That's not a good level to be at, but considering everything else that's going on, who can blame folks for having their own priorities...

For Trump, he has actually been doing it for all his adult life. Murdock is another cut from the same cloth as well.

Without derailing the thread,the picture was reflected in the media.

2 very similar stories.. one generated weeks if not months of headlines and gave labour a tag they cant shake, the other barely made it past a day.

And people say why dont we have an effective opposition?

Well I vote Tory mainly but always do consider others. I also agree with the bad feeling over this so would not seek to defend it. Just because a person votes for a party does not mean they agree with everything that they do
