Thread | So, I contacted my local Conservative MP about the PM and received this:
at 17:07 24 May 2022
"Thank you for your email regarding the ongoing matter of breaches of lockdown rules in No.10. As you will expect I have received a great deal of correspondence on this issue.
I share your frustration that the Prime Minister did not follow the Covid restrictions and the personal anguish which has been caused by those behaviours in number 10 which have already been adjudicated on by the Metropolitan police. I cannot, however, comment further on the Prime Minister’s involvement, the incidents in question, or on whether he knowingly misled the House of Commons on this matter.
I am a member of the Privileges Committee. If the House of Commons feels that the Prime Minister has intentionally misled the House, the matter is referred to the Privileges Committee to investigate the case and adjudicate on the matter. The Commons has now agreed to refer the Prime Minister’s conduct to the Privileges Committee. The Conservative members of the committee were to abstain had the matter come to a vote, so as not to prejudice our position on the matter that might come before us.
I have taken advice from the Clerk of the Committee, who has explained:
“I would advise you, as a member of the Committee of Privileges, not to make any public statement about any individual case which has been referred to the Committee. If the Committee is asked to investigate an allegation that a contempt of Parliament has been committed, that is a serious matter and it is important, given the quasi-judicial role of the Committee, that its members are seen to be carrying out their work in a scrupulously impartial way and that they do not make public comments on the rights and wrongs of the case or anticipate the Committee’s conclusions.”
Chris Bryant MP, the committee chair, has already expressed his view on the matter and has therefore had to recuse himself from this case. Members of the committee are like judges in a court. We are expected to approach such matters as impartially as we can, and not have a predetermined view, before the hearings start.
I am sorry I cannot be more forthcoming but I hope you understand my reasons. I can assure you I attach the highest importance to matters like this." |

Nothing more than we don't know already.
Just need to be more ruthless is all. |

Thread | Well played Cambridge.

Better than us all over the pitch today.
We were very sloppy with possession from the outset and it never really got any better.
We were too slow and pedestrian with the ball today but in no small part due to Cambridge denying us time and space. They kept their shape and I thought they actually looked more threatening and likely to score than us today.
We weren't at the races.
In a way...a learning opportunity for KM...not great timing but he got to see us as we have been for a while now and what one or two players levels probably are. |
