@MrHarryCole extraordinary that two errors in the letter below from Labour nationally:
1. GLA also objected to Printworks & also launched a judicial review challenge to it
2. The Consent Order + Judicial Review explicitly say Minister dated approval to avoid CIL payment

These facts have been known to Labour locally in Tower Hamlets since February & re-confirmed in May
GLA objections important given their strategic role
This almost suggests Labour locally not working with Labour nationally on this issue?
I have also put these facts into public

domain on the 27th May after having to request them from TH Council (who themselves have not put into public domain legal documents
Local MP not very active either
Unclear why not working together but it weakens case against Jenrick if missing key facts

More bad news linked to Westferry Printworks, suggestive but I have told journalists that the 2016 planning decision was more transparent & although I objected to it, I understand the logic of approving especially as delivered a new secondary school

Sir Ed Lister made decision in public, objectors including myself could argue against it at meeting, GLA planning officers recommended approval with changes made, external consultant re-calculated viability to lift affordable housing % from 11% to 20%,

Boris Johnson involved as TH Council failed in 2015 to make the decision in time (2nd time here, why is another mystery)
TH said the site should be re-developed in order to meet housing targets + later said suitable for tall building

House of Commons debated Westferry Printworks at 10.33 today
Only a few extra new facts disclosed but it is clear that Clive Betts MP @CommonsHCLG will need to take this forward + Cabinet Office (wrote to both last week)
Urgent Questions not best place

New facts
a. Minister rejected a site visit? site is only 30 minutes from Parliament by public transport, suggests Jenrick mind made up
b. Minister told civil servants about his dinner with Desmond, when & why did they not advise him to recuse himself?
c. Firewall between...

Ministers & party political funding, Minister not aware/involved of donations Minister said
But I thought SPAD's role was to protect Minister from embarrassing mistakes?
But it was @ChrisPincher not @RobertJenrick answering questions, why?
Reminder that it maybe Pincher who
