Yes - surely if they have currently stopped doing their business that would be in breach of 3.2 and could be deemed to be not following 3.3, as it's advantageous to one particular party - this will be particularly clear if there is more publicity of Durham operating in a different way before the election.

The Durham thing has also (unsurprisingly) been misrepresented. Durham have simply acknowledged receipt of the letter and a FOI request (as they are bound to do) and the twat MP has tweeted it and twisted it.

Yes - deliberately misrepresented by two of the papers with the highest readership (in one case covering almost their entire front page) the week before an election. 10 minutes ago, Copperface said: Lots of porn on Twitter as Grant Shapps will testify. The porn sites might be blocked but Twitter clearly isn't. Are you saying you've read something to indicate that's the site that was being viewed, or you're speculating? As keeps being reported, most of us would be instantly fired for viewing porn in the workplace. Mind you many of us would also be fired for sending work emails or messages via public addresses, yet under this government we read time and again that it's apparently not against the rules for ministers to do so.

steviewevie Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Truss obviously feels outdone by Wallace so is trying to look super tough to get back into pole position for the race to No.10 ...meanwhile pushing us ever closer to all out war with Russia.
