    The media witch-hunt worked then.

    I mean yes she probably has done something wrong, maliciously or “honest mistake guv” I don’t know, is the media the best place to get facts about it to judge for yourself, no. Even official enquiries are not particularly trustworthy these days.

    The bigger issue is why somebody so central to government was allowed to screw up this badly, it reflects poorly on the party. Which is exactly why the media is running with it.

      Exactly this. Shows incredibly poor judgement all around.

      One man’s witch hunt against a Labour politician is another man’s guardian newspaper of the year investigative journalism against a Tory politician 🤷 . They both got caught not paying their fair share of tax and need to be exposed.

        It wasn’t so much just articles about this though the press have been “reporting” relentlessly for the past few weeks criticising several aspects of her life. If I could be bothered if find examples.
