You don't need to know any law To tell Starmer to fuck off.
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford

Sir Keir Starmer's war with Olly Robbins just went to a whole new level The government has tonight taken the pretty extraordinary step of publishing what appears to be* a new legal opinion on the legislation surrounding national security vetting Allies of Robbins have cited the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act, which states that ministers do not oversee the national security vetting system Robbins is using this as part of his argument for not informing Starmer that Mandelson had failed his initial security vetting. The process, they say, is 'rightly independent' - something ministers have also said in the Commons But the government appears to have commissioned new legal advice which states: 'No law stops civil servants sensibly flagging UK Security Vetting recommendations' The government appears to have commissioned an ad hoc legal opinion as ammunition for Starmer ahead of his appearance in the Commons tomorrow Allies of Robbins point out two things. 1) This appears to be new legal advice - it didn't exist when Mandelson was appointed 2) It doesn't demonstrate that Robbins *should* have informed Starmer. It is effectively passive They say that the government appears to be attempting to retrofit a legal opinion to make Starmer's argument against Robbins * I say appears to be as it doesn't seem to have been signed off by a government lawyer, but that's v much the suggestion I'm getting from inside Govt

I think constitutionally, the House of Lords can conduct its own form of no confidence in Keir It is the fundamental duty of the Lords, to advise the King (the Lords can summon Judges before it for that purpose) They can advise the King that he is not a fit person to be PM

Truly desperate stuff 🤦‍♀️ -I was asking you about the PM, not Tice -Tice tax claims are the subject of legal action -I asked Jenrick about Tice anyway -Anyone who has ever seen me interview Tice knows I’m far from a snowflake -The definition of a snowflake is a serving MP who posts this sort of hatstand and then switches off replies.
Tom Hayes MP@TomHayesBmouth

I enjoyed her cancelling me for bringing up Tice’s tax affairs after answering her questions directly. The best thing was her defence of Tice and insistence that she was a journalist. What a snowflake! ❄️ What a carcrash interviewer, just letting good GB News viewers down 🤯

BREAKING 🚨 Rumours swirl that senior labour figures are now desperate to remove the politically toxic Keir Starmer I understand that this van is on its way to Number 10, to create a scandal that even Starmer can't escape.
