Has this person resigned his portfolio and resigned as a an MP?
Shame if he hasn’t.
The persons who have the power to sack him (either the big leader in the Bunker or the Pretend PM Churchill) should sack him, promptly as an example to the ‘New Political Culture’.
He is following Boris Johnson.
Having said that, it is proven beyond doubt and under cross-examination of the evidence provided.
Wonder why this Crim is still sitting in the Cabinet and in Parliament?
Of course, he doesn’t have the ba**s to quit.
But don’t the leaders have the ba^^s to sack this Criminal?
