Of course this will be a good day to "bury bad news" since the assisted dying Bill wil take over the headlines by the end of the day.  Everything will then be swept under the carpet.  She has been pushed I am sure.

it's being suggested by the conspiracy theorists on XWitter that this was to all intents and purposes a political hit. and, that there are those close to the government top table who maintain a discreet file on misdeeds by cabinet post holders, which can be conveniently leaked should it ever prove necessary to have them removed.

She was in cahoots with the equally disingenuous Sue Grey. I wonder when she will start to tell the truth as well.

The thing that worries me is that Starmer was told, by her, of the offence, yet he still decided to promote her to a Minister. It must call into, once again, his judgement and competence.
