So two-faced
WHAT rank hypocrisy we are now witnessing from the Labour Government.
In Opposition, they would screech almost weekly about the need for a minister to resign over some indiscretion or other.
Sir Keir Starmer is pleading for sympathy – which he never granted when in Opposition to the GovernmentCredit: PA
No benefit of the doubt was EVER given by , in particular, who considered himself to be a morally superior being.
Indeed, just imagine the sneering response he would have given had claimed to be the innocent victim of a hoodwinking by a senior Tory who had already TWICE resigned in scandal.
The ex-DPP would have — quite rightly — said it was risible that more questions had not been asked to get to the truth.

So far, the Government has tinkered at the edges with suggestions such as the re- introduction of a licence just for .
