Supposedly, there is a super-injunction in place preventing the media from revealing that Starmer has been fined. Apparently, he is appealing it.

Not sure how true it is, and how he could even appeal it, but plenty of white noise around...

Maybe CP payed for it, he is an entrepreneur with a portfolio of property.

I thought there had been some in place for several years. I am not sure so I'll ask my wives and multitude of kids.

I reckon he might stay. From what I had read, the issue is about a witness who was actually at the event landing him right in it. Usually, I would dismiss the gossip as being put out by the Tories but everything seems to point to sources within the Labour party being the ones sticking the knives in.

Throw in his 'pledge' on the EU yesterday (from a man who almost singlehandedly led the charge for Labour to adopt the second referendum position) and I suspect that many people want to see him gone.

What I really, really want is for Starmer to be fined but not resign. Wot Larks!

I don't care if Starmer is guilty same as I didn't about Boris, for me a none story on a minor transgression of incomprehensible COVID rules. Whether he goes or stays is up to his conscience and the Labour Party.

However I note that some people who demanded Johnson resign are already defending Starmer assuming he is fined (not the same thing blah blah).

Usual tribal politics, my side good your side bad.
