They Just Can't Help It Can They.

Another cunning plan by the desperate Cons has been exposed.

The former Post office chairman Harry Staunton was told to stall compensation payments to subpostmasters "Horizon victims" because of the upcoming election To keep their financial liability figures down .

They've told us what his remit was.

[ToraToraTora]

This makes no sense, the public have been outraged by this so the government would be doing their level best to be seen doing the right thing.

Naomo @ 12.40 Read the OP again  "Harry Staunton was "told" to stall compensation payments " I did not say by whom. So in this case If you take trouble to read the OP again you'll see you're mistaken.

[naomi24]

gulliver, I know you didn't say 'by whom' - and neither did he - which is what I said.  

[gulliver1]

Apparently Mr Staunton recieved a call from Sky news telling him that he had been fired ,before Kemi Badenough had spoken to him.

[gulliver1]

Naomi 13.04 In your reply @ 12.40 You said "Staunton was instructed by a civil servant."

[gulliver1]

Mr Staunton was told to delay these payments to allow the Tories to "LIMP" into the General Election..The word LIMP gives one a snapshot of where the Tories think they really are in their chances of winning the GE.

[newmodarmy]

Ah, by a civil servant.tgat narrows it down to a million or more.

Do you really think the government would say they want to limp into the election? Do you know who said it? Were they made up by Staunton or his own words?

[newmodarmy]

And if you read the link ( not yours obviously) you'll see it was December 2022 when an election was 2 years away

[gulliver1]

Scandals like this one and the Baroness Mone.. Fraud case, which the Tories are hoping to kick much deeper into the long grass ain't Helping the Cons much  ..this side of the GE.

[gulliver1]

NMA 13.42 The Cons are Limping into a GE .They certainly ain't dancing and skipping along the Sunny Uplands that the Con Clown promised you are they?

[gulliver1]

NMA 13.43 "you'll see it was in Dec 2022 when an election was 2 years away"All I can see from your answer is, the Tories realised in 2022 that they were Limping along.. even then.

According to this BBC report, Mr Staunton told the Sunday Times that when he was sacked Ms Badenoch had told him: "Someone's got to take the rap."

But Ms Badenoch said the comments were a "disgraceful misrepresentation" of their conversation.

 

I know that it is standard operating procedure for Tory ministers to lie – but if it proves Ms Badenoch’s account of the events is a complete pack of lies, me thinks she will have to go.

Just on sky news now ..Kemi Badenough is going to make a statement  about this Tomorrow. That means she is going to consult advisers who can bend the truth for her ..or maybe she will fall on her sword and resign..

[newmodarmy]

Why don't you call politicians by their proper names on here gulliver? 

[gulliver1]

Hymie 20.24 This is another Case of the Cons being in a desperate state of limping towards the general election ,can they be provided  with wheel chairs for the last lap maybe.???

[gulliver1]

Kemi Badenoch has replied to Mr Stauntons comments saying This is a "disgraceful misrepresention of their conversation " In other words she is calling him a liar .One of these is telling porkies and they are both Cons .Should be fun ..get the popcorn out.

[newmodarmy]

//One of these is telling porkies and they are both Cons ?//

Have you got reason to claim Staunton is a Conservative? He's just a successful businessman as far as I can see

[gulliver1]

More to the point ..who has Kemi Badenoch replaced Mr Staunton with Is this the Con Crony Club kicking in again  ???
