The Gus O'Donnell inquiry into Liam Fox, which this thread is about, concerns the behaviour of one, now former, Tory cabinet minister. It doesn't concern the behaviour of politicians from any other parties.
If a story breaks concerning a politician from any other party, then discuss it when that happens. Presumable there will be a little bit more evidence than "somewhere", "alleged", and "I can't find the link"
Right-wingers like you teamhurtmore, and yes I'm making an assumption and pointing an excusing finger - you are a right-winger, might well want to deflect criticism against a Tory government with the "Labour are just as bad" strategy, but unfortunately for you it doesn't appear in this instance, to wash with the general public.
The first opinion poll since Fox's resignation :
Labour takes eight-point poll lead
Labour has opened up its biggest lead over the Conservatives since last year's general election, according to an opinion poll.
The Populus poll for The Times gives the Labour Party an eight-point advantage over the Tories while support for the Liberal Democrats has dropped into single percentage figures.
The poll puts Labour on 41%, three points up on last month, while the Conservatives are down one point on 33%, and the Lib Dems down four to 8% - the lowest levels of support for the two Government parties in a Populus poll since they went into coalition together.
The findings suggest that support for the two parties has been hit by concerns about the economy as well the fallout from the resignation of former defence secretary Liam Fox.
You would do your cause more good if instead of the intellectually bankrupt argument "Labour are just as bad", you argued that this sort of shenanigans was totally unacceptable, and that you were particularly "disappointed" that a Tory minister should behave in such a manner. Just a tip like....... a lot of people quite like honesty.
Although for obvious reasons it doesn't come too naturally to a Tory.
the BBC is a right-wing, Tory propaganda machine. This is a joke BTW, well at least the bit about me!!!)
