Reform mayor courted US oil and gas executive about fracking in UK Exclusive: Documents show Andrea Jenkyns asked how she could help firm after major gas find in Lincolnshire

More completely disgusting behaviour from Reform UK. I do hope the British public sober up pretty quickly www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Years of behaving disgustingly are coming home to roost. I’m sure you’re right and the peculations as thy surface will be make MPs’ expenses look like the accounts of a vicarage tea party

Andrew charged taxpayers for massage services when trade envoy, claim ex-civil servants Whistleblower former civil servants claim there was too little scrutiny of Andrew's costs as UK trade envoy.

I just knew it. I was simply waiting to hear when. Andrew MW charged his tarts to HMG. Knowing what I do about public audit processes - which are thorough - this completely inexcusable use of public funds must have had a blind eye turned to it www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Andrew MW is a complete toe rag and entirely the architect of his own misfortunes. He’s been a nasty piece of work his entire life. However I find the glee and baying at its misfortunes disturbing and unserious. Also disappointed how it’s the crookedness not the misogyny police have turned to first

Sorry he’s a former Prime Minister and whilst not in office he is a politician. He’s not a butcher or a florist. You also must get the point that it’s well dodgy for politicians to say the police should or shouldn’t take specific action. That’s all I’m saying and it’s a very reasonable view

Blood tests reveal a lot about a patient’s health, are crucial in diagnosing many conditions and are often the last tests patients need before they can be discharged from hospital.

We don’t disagree. Everyone who is suspected of a serious crime should be investigated by the police and if a threshold passed go before the justice system. But it’s important that this process should all be completely independent of any politician (and any former PM remains a political authority)

However obvious the case seems, whatever the public outrage, however disgusting the allegations. politicians should never, ever be suggesting who the police should or should not interview. Ever. Even when the gentleman concerned is an utter toe-rag like A M-W

This is a shameful state of affairs. A real harm to today’s children and a complete insult to all those who over many generations fought to protect people by developing and implementing universal vaccination
