If shes done wrong, she should resign

For being stupid enough not to cover her tracks

Plenty tories have shown how easy it is to do

 

As an aside, i understood this had been investigated by pjod and hmrc?

If she resigns, that’ll just leave Starmer. I think more will be needed to run the country. 😊

All I’ve said is that she’s trending for lying. Is that not the case? 

Nah not really

Bit of on a non story from the Mail. All they've ended up doing is throwing one of their own under the bus. 

Any more questions?

So she wasn’t lying then? I’ll wait for that to start trending.

This non story as you say, has been going on for weeks. She’s been asked questions about it on tv numerous times. Not sure how it will all end but it’s worth discussing isn’t it?

I can't really agree it's a non-story if there's evidence she might've committed fraud, no matter how hypocritical the people presenting the evidence might be

She's a politician standing to be Deputy Prime Minster at the next general election and so should be held to a high standard

Doesn’t help when she's one of the first calling for the heads of others for any wrong doing.

Inevitable that opponents will come for her given the opportunity. 

Strangely, so far, that hasn't come from ministers to any great extent, but from the media.

She does have form for maximising things on expenses- legitimately of course.

Think there was a localish Tory MP raising it but other than that it's been pretty quiet

Maybe it might keep being pushed to get a reaction as she seems quick to fire off against any criticism, bit like Prescott was when he was deputy

Her response that she will release her tax affairs as soon as Tories do wasn't the best response if they want to make out they are behaving properly

Not really followed this but as I understand it ..

It was investigated by the Police who said there was nothing wrong.

Then the millionaire non dom who made the original complaint said it had not been investigated properly which the Police are obliged to investigate. 
 

Why if the Police say there is nothing wrong should she have to react ? Unless I have missed something ?

If she's done nothing wrong, then it is a non story, but the press, and especially The Mail will be going after her as hard as they can. If it's found that she's done nothing wrong, then I'm sure they'll apologise accordingly 😁

We need more MPs to be held to account, if they are taking the piss.....sadly, it seems, The Mail don't go after MPs from both sides, with such vigour.

 

If she is found of wrong doing, then kick her out of the party, and give her a bit of prison time, and send the message that moving forward it won't be stood for.

Look over there, don't look over here......

Is that what is being resorted to now I wonder?

I'm not sure I've suggested she has to act

But GMP conduct investigations on the evidence available and are now reassessing their decision to close the investigation in light of new evidence 

She may be found not to have committed any offence, but my comment was addressing the sentiment that it doesn't matter if she has committed fraud because it pales into insignificance compared either to Lord Ashcroft's tax evasion, or the behaviour of Tory MPs

I wonder if The Mail was so vocal when Zahawi owed millions, probably not

Ignorance is a defence when it comes to tax evasion apparently so if HMRC reckon she owes what is reckoned to be around £1500, pay it and its a non-story

*the scale of Lord Ashcroft's tax avoidance
