[Metalmicky]

Just putting it out there...

I don’t expect that much will be made of this on here mate.

[BillyStubbsTears]

If he's guilty he wants the book throwing at him.

Of course this is a problem for Starmer, but it's hardly his making. Any more than Johnson is responsible for the actions of the senior Tory backbencher accused of rape.

[IDM]

Why is it a problem for starmer.?  The Labour Party has suspended the mayor, and he is not an mp..

[Metalmicky]

Sorry - my mistake, I thought Starmer was the leader of said party...

[selby]

  There should be a lot more over the anti Semite problem joining him.

[IDM]

Sorry - my mistake, I thought Starmer was the leader of said party...

And the party has suspended him.

You could argue it would be an issue for Starmer had the Labour Party not acted.  But they did - that’s the point, so why does it become more of a problem for starmer.?

Should MP’s arrested for Rape be suspended from their party

[Metalmicky]

And the party has suspended him.

You could argue it would be an issue for Starmer had the Labour Party not acted.  But they did - that’s the point, so why does it become more of a problem for starmer.?

So - if I understand you correctly.... something that is acted upon by the Labour Party is not a concern to the leader............... right

[IDM]

No you are completely missing the point..

It is an issue and a concern, obviously, but it is being dealt with..

Had it not been acted on, then there would be understandable pressure on starmer to do something about it..

You understand that don’t you.?

Now, remind me what Johnson and his party did in response to Cummings’ and Patel’s wrongdoing.?

[Metalmicky]

Your tone tells me that I am not missing the point at all...  your patronising and condescending tone shows me that you are irked.  Let's hope that KS shows himself and some leadership...... FTR I am on neither parties side to any great extent; however this is a news story - on most news outlets - even the Mirror,  so, it deserves the attention of the party leader surely.  There are plenty of other threads whipping Boris and the Tories, so why bring it up those issues on here?

[IDM]

Patronising and condescending.?

Pull the other one..

Your OP implies Starmer has problems within Labour, my response is that Labour is dealing with it, and that the problem would be bigger if they hadn’t taken action - which is why the reference to Johnson was included as the Tories haven’t acted on their problems.

[Metalmicky]

OK fella........ I really can't be arsed wasting my time squabbling with you... 

[Glyn_Wigley]

What should Starmer have done differently then?

[Bentley Bullet]

Just because Starmer has acted on the issue doesn't mean there is no longer an issue. As far as I can see Metalmicky has said nothing else other than that!

[SydneyRover]

Arrested on suspicion, found guily by the anti-laborites

[BillyStubbsTears]

Every leader has problems at least this big to deal with. This is tomorrow's chip paper level of stuff by comparison to what most leaders get faced with.

[drfchound]

Arrested on suspicion, found guily by the anti-laborites

But isn’t that like the Tory MP arrested on suspicion of rape but found guilty by the anti.Tories.

[SydneyRover]

butnot suspended ............... that one?

[drfchound]

butnot suspended ............... that one?

But I wasn’t talking about the actions of the Parties, just matching up your comment about anti Labourites.
For balance of course.

TBF Syd..... it always seems that the "knowing" on here always profess things about Boris.. sometimes without any substance..... and yet you bring up an issue with KS and everyone's on the defensive.  It gives an unbalance view of things IMO.

To be honest, I wished that more people had viewed/commented (and donated) to the Rob Burrow thread I started.

[SydneyRover]

I see your point MM but johnson is out there when it comes to being offensive and not having a clue and because of it attracts more column inches, he has a rap sheet the length of the UK.

[Metalmicky]

Not going to argue with that Syd...

Joe Anderson. Leader suspends major party figure alleged of wrong doing.

''Durham police have confirmed for the first time they are assessing a dossier from a former senior prosecutor that says Dominic Cummings should face charges over his account of his movements during lockdown''

Have either Jokerick or Cummings been arrested/charged with owt? - there may be ideas/blogs/suggestions/thoughts - but let's not hang folk because we suspect they might be witches... of either party.

Who on here has said the Tory MP is guilty?

You appear to have missed the point of my post MM.
