I read earlier that when it's released, then he might have no choice but to resign.......no detail behind it, that's just what was suggested. I wonder if it'll come out this side of the local elections or not

It'll come out after the locals, and he'll never resign. He'll go when the 1922 Committee decides it's time.

Lying to Parliament is the new Not Lying to Parliament.

We need to accept it.

The Met are a law unto themselves. Corrupt as fuck. It took a shitload of fuss to get them to investigate in the first place.

Quite the opposite. If - as is likely - Downing Street staff are to be issued more FPN's, waiting until after the Local Elections to issue them does them a massive favour.

Does it not go against them in terms of this party isn’t willing to do anything against the head honcho so when it comes to local voting people would have had enough?

We're talking about the Metropolitan Police refusing to issue FPN's until after the local elections, not the Conservative Party.

I suspect the Police, like LAs, are subject to the rules of Purdah where they can't be seen to do anything in the month up to an election that may prejudice a vote.

FPNs are probably similar to planning consent, applications etc where they can be delayed until after the elections.

They are not quite bound by the same rules as Civil Services in annoucing policy in the run up to elections, but they do have to take particular care in doing anything that will avoid influencing the outcome of an election.

My ex who worked at the DCMS loved purdah as a CS, basically put your feet up for a few weeks. The Press Dept literally cannot do anything at the request of their minister.

It’s known as purdah. 
 

I have a link - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdah_(pre-election_period)

I wonder if there’s a name for what happens when the police pause an investigation in the run up to an election?

I think that the level of offence will be a consideration in relation to the pause in action. FIxed penalty notices are pretty much down the pecking order when it comes to disposals. 

 

He needs help 

 

And I don’t mean Boris

I’m sure some of the 42% will spend the next five years complaining though. Maybe some of the 58%. 😉

They are 42% and 58% of the 72% who actually voted.

So 30% of the electorate voted for Le Pen and 28% abstained, including most of those on the left.

All absolutely irrelevant as we are constantly reminded.

Le Pen lost. That’s all that matters.

Her supporters will simply have to grind their teeth.
