MPs and others called for the urgent release of tortured Palestinian doctor, Hussam Abu Safiya, held hostage by Israel and reportedly near death, reports LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
CORRUPTION is not a charge that should be laid lightly against any individual or government. Misdirected, it can besmirch individuals who have done nothing wrong and it can devalue politics altogether if baseless charges are thrown around.
So it is with considerable care that the claim that this government is corrupt should be made: in this case, it is fully justified. This is not about the actions of one or two rogue individuals — it involves a large number of ministers and ex-ministers, or even law officers and it is on a grand scale.
Crucially, it involves those at the very top. It is widely asserted, without rebuttal, that the reason Boris Johnson wanted to ditch the entire regulatory system and the regulator for MPs’ conduct was not to save Owen Paterson. This Prime Minister does not do personal loyalty in any sphere of his life.
