The Met originally refuse to investigate.
This is despite them being responsible for the security at the residence where all this happened.
They put their best people on security detail, yet there are parties galore and all you need to get anything past them is a suitcase. Thank fuck they don’t do security at airports.
Then the government gets pressured into having an independent investigation. So they pick the head of the Civil Service. Then it gets out that he was at parties as well. Only at that point do they get someone in who can be perceived as relatively independent and truly objective.
That person shocks everyone by doing her job diligently.
Just as that person is about to deliver findings, the Met decide afterall, that they will investigate.
They then lean on the independent investigator telling her, she can report, just not about the things in the terms of reference for the report because it’ll prejudice their investigation over something they didn’t want to investigate.
Then the Met drag their asses, wait until Parliament is heading into recess before issuing their first set of fines.
This first set of fines includes the PM and his wife and is for the most innocuous of the allegations.
The Met then drags their assess again - for weeks and issues another set of fines - nothing for the PM despite fining junior civil servants for attending events including one where the PM is photographed giving a toast in front of a table full of booze.
None of this looks like a stage managed at all. I have complete confidence in the Met.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
I rarely get political, but the corruption evident in this regime is worrying indeed...
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Keir Starmer had a beer once though.

I dont think many will disagree that the MET police force is quite simply appalling. Not just in this situation but several others over past few years.
The pictures last night where Johnson is drinking at a party and wasnt fined (some reports say he wasnt even questioned on that event) yet juniors were. How have the MET made that decision that he was legally there for work but others weren’t?
