He’s been a marked man for several months. And how ironic this news breaks the night before FCO and Raab in court over handling of #HarryDunn case. Sir Simon let the cat out of the bag there. news.sky.com/story/sir-simo…
How he survived this is beyond me... but told in days after this astonishing parliamentary u-turn he was toast...
Clear officials like McDonald made bad blunders in days and weeks after #harrydunn died.. but we still have not had a clear on the record answer from @DominicRaab on these points... tomorrow won’t provide that clarity on this - but suspect truth will out one day... Image
It’s an elegant departure for McDonald, but it won’t stop the questions going away.

EXCLUSIVE: Sir Keir Starmer met Taylor Swift and her mother backstage at Wembley just days after No10 'pressured' cops into giving the superstar VIP security....

£2,800 freebie on 20 August came amid growing conflict of interest row...

thesun.co.uk/news/31093661/…
Starmer introduced his family to Swift and her mother for 10 minute chat on final night of the Eras tour in London.

Tickets were provided by Swift's music label after Sir Keir's then chief of staff Sue Gray had personally got involved in security row with the singer and cops
Ministerial code states politicians should avoid not just a conflict of interest but even perception of one...

Hard to see how taking freebie tickets and meeting the superstar AFTER No10 got involved in policing - with direct chats with the star's mother - does not breach that

Rishi the candidate: “China is the biggest-long term threat to Britain and the world’s economic and national security." (24 July 2022)

Rishi the PM: "It means standing up to our competitors, not with grand rhetoric but with robust pragmatism.” (28 Nov 2022)
Rishi in July: “Enough is enough. For too long, politicians in Britain and across the West have rolled out the red carpet and turned a blind eye to China’s nefarious activity and ambitions..
...I will change this on Day 1 as PM. I will stop China taking over our universities, and get British companies and public institutions the cyber-security they need. And I will work with Biden and other world leaders to transform the West’s resilience to the threat China poses.”
