You'd imagine they won't name directly themselves but if called to a committee they will name individuals when asked.
They'll end up named I'm sure as it directly identifies if the prime minister lied about criminal acts.

Did you read the article?
You’re quoting to me from their latest press release and proving that it aligns with how they said they would handle it at the start of this investigation.
The example I gave to you was the MET directly commenting on and naming individuals from their investigations last year which proves that they are entirely selective about how they apply this rule.
Naming and shaming a celebrity is fair game, naming and shaming Tory politicians not so much apparently.
Did the Met publicly name people (not to parliamentary committee which could still be a possibility here) who had been issued with a penalty notice ... yes or no?
Because if they did then send me a link and lets report them for breaking police guidelines
I suspect they didn't (as per the guidelines)
That said im sure people will use parliamentary privilege to name people

Marr proving what we all suspected when he was working for the BBC.
The Met delay tactic has worked to perfection really hasn't it? Not that I think this was ever the thing that should have finished off any of the Tories given all the other appalling things they have regularly done and do (most of the ministers should be in jail for fraud/theft/violation of human rights if there were any justice), but it was the one scandal that stuck and then the Met go and save them by sticking their oar in.
Apart from that, it's a totally brain dead logic.
Almost everything pales in importance to war. Does that mean nothing else is important? The two are not related. Marr can go feck himself.

As many as us thought at the time it’s more about selling off what we can.
Just waiting for the nhs to be sold off. Covid possibly delayed that plan though
I know how Will Smith felt about his wife being criticised, says Rishi Sunak
Rishi Sunak has said he finds it "very upsetting" that his wife has faced criticism over shares she owns in a tech company operating in Russia.

Kindly feck off BBC.
Rishi’s wife was criticised for her dealings with Russia.
Jada Smith was mocked for her illness.
Big fecking difference and way to trivialise the valid criticisms of his billionaire wife’s share in a company dealing with a regime committing war crimes.
How far up these Tory arses do the BBC crawl these days. Useless.

Anyone else seen this?
Tbh it’s misleading for them to focus just on the Tories, as I’m sure New Labour were all over Putin as well. It’s just standard British government policy, imo less a moral failing and more having the same class and material interests.

Cheers. Thought it was odd that the video skips the years between 99 and 08.
Also this was doing the arounds a few weeks back. Blair from 2014
Staggering when the links between Conservative party and Putin's Russia are broken down like that. This is why Johnson should have to resign, there should be a massive restructuring of political funding regulation in the UK sad Lebdevev should be stripped of his peerage. British media ownership also needs a massive regulatory review.
I'm sure Starmers Labour would have loved donations from the same trough too.
There should be serious implications for this and a much more detailed investigation and uncensored report afterwards. Won't happen though.
We ought to be careful not to judge the Russia of today and the Russia back then.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall and breakup of the Soviet Union, it was government policy to get much closer to Russia. Same for many European countries and the US.
So Sunak thinks both situations are the same.....
Well done Rushi.
Amen.
Absolutely no moral conscience at all. Everything is for sale with these cnuts.
How about we stop this 'they're all the same' stuff, and stick to actually criticizing politicians for things they actually do?
Once Starmer demonstrates his Labour party is different. I will stop thinking both Labour and Conservatives are so closely aligned it barely makes a difference anymore.
Starmer is maybe slightly less corrupt. But he still lies and breaks his pledges to voters. Is that enough to get behind him?
Anyone listening to LBC right now?
Hearing people call in about what they're going through even before this hike up! A single mum with three kids who's having to boil water so she can wash, and saying how she feels GUILTY about this even when she is working full time!
When are we going to the streets about this!?!?!?! Where has the 'Poll Tax Spirit' gone?

The two incidents are totally incomparable.
One is a politician moving a bit away from his initial promised policies. The other is a government that openly tells complete lies, enacts policies that kill hundreds of thousands of people, plunge millions into poverty, treats the law like it doesn't apply to them, and gives away billions of pounds in corrupt deals to its donors and mates.
Yeah I think those two things are not particularly closely aligned.
Bang on.
Whenever I heard one of the government saying... let's wait for the outcome of the Sue Gray investigation and then for the MET investigation, you knew exactly what that meant.
Could not have put it any better. Boris and his government has literally got away with murder and robbery and will absolutely continue to do so.
