"Deliberately acting below the criminal threshold" ... or, in other words, within the law !!!
Unbelievable.

This is as despicable as it is out of touch. I'm truly gobsmacked that a British Home Secretary could write such a thing.
Living on the streets ... in a tent ... a lifestyle choice? ............... and so they're going to restrict the ability of charities to donate tents !
Awful.

Please, anyone ... those of you in Springfield, Hindley, Pemberton, Standish, Skem, Orrell, Shevvy, Chorley, anywhere ... why the fuck would you elect these people into government, and then expect (and believe) that they're working FOR you?
They're working for themselves, and only themselves.

In this case, it's not so much rotten as downright fecking stupid. I completely get that the Government have already been through (and got rid of) anyone with an iota of ability or competence, but for a Health Sec to come out with this shite is truly beyond what we should expect from a Minister of State, who are supposed to know their brief.
How can she stay in her position ... even if she's not got the honour to resign, surely Sunak will have the balls to get rid of such an embarrassment.

This thread seemed to be as good as any on which to post this ... so Tulip Siddiq has resigned.
She's not broken the ministerial code. She's not been asked to resign by the PM. In fact, the standards advisor found no evidence that she'd done anything wrong.
However, she understood how things looked. She understood that staying in her position would mean that she would continue to generate stories (even if untrue). So, she (as have others) took the honourable route, and resigned.
If just one or two Tories had done this, then Johnson might not have had to quit, and they might even still be in power ... with him at the helm.
Funny old game, isn't it.
