but integrity and honesty are WAY down the list when being Prime Minister (or President). Ability, skill, imagination,ambition to improve life in the country, desire to straighten the broken judicial system, there are so many far more important characteristics. We're not wanting a pope or a vicar, Keir; we want a brilliant leader and I don't care if they break trivial rules or fail to go along with media slogans.

He knew very well that he wouldn't be getting a notice from Durham police, as they had a policy of not enforcing retrospective covid breaches, hence Dominic Cummings didn't get a fine. How standing next to a cake is a breach of rules and drinking a beer with colleagues isn't is purely at the discretion of the relevant police force. Also Starmer campaigned for the Durham chief's appointment, so she was hardly going to fine him.

Get rid of Starmer and bring on Graham Stringer, at least he talks common sense and doesn't push all this woke nonsense.

You won't find those qualities in a laywer.

total lack of charisma in a time when it's everything.
