    Why worry? Sunak made his money insider trading, then wallowed in the economic collapse his crew caused and is perpetuating.

    Betting on something with a 100% chance of success, because of the punter's prior inside knowledge, amounts to theft, which of course is a crime and it even applies to Tories, believe it or not.

    There's no whiff about it...and the Police should arrest all those under suspicion. ' I made a serious error of judgement'.....they all say that. If any crime is suspected of anyone in any field the police should fully investigate...FULLY and interview all those connected to get to the truth and if they all come through smelling of roses then fine. I hope they all are in the clear but each and EVERY one has to be fully investigated.

    Lies. CPS can only prosecute with evidence. At the time of Saville, Starmer took charge at the end of the investigation and the former head of the CPS decided there wasn't enough evidence for a successful prosecution to take place. The police head 4 or 5 witnesses to begin with then 3 pulled out and the two left were not credible,one kept changing her story and the other was considered not in a fit state to stand. When Starmer reviewed the case he agreed with his predecessor. After that he changed the CPS from top to bottom and the then P M David Cameron spoke highly about him in Parliament and the right wing newspaper the Sun did a column praising his work In 2008 when Starmer took over he prosecuted 14 grooming gangs because the police had gathered enough evidence to successfully win the cases. Starmer had no involvement in the Rochdale gangs as the police admitted the evidence gathered was unreliable due to the people concerned full of drugs, alcohol etc and their accounts all differed and wouldn't stand up in court so it didn't even get to the CPS. Try to do research before commenting.
