It’s important that this issue is investigated and outcomes made public. This is a senior politician that could be Deputy Prime Minister later this year. Almost certainly she will not want allegations hanging over her head anymore than the public. It’s a matter of trust and transparency.
Its important, I agree. But it doesn't need that many people to investigate it.
To be fair we don’t know that,we don’t yet know the depth of other related or non related issues may be attached. BiB will want to be 100% certain of any findings (or nothing to see here). They will almost certainly be under time pressure to come to a judgement.

I suspect they could have assigned fewer officers if they hadn't sat on their hands initially.

I don't think dodging CGT is a matter for the police.

Funny quip, she didn’t look amused. laugh

Exactly the same for any car stolen, without doubt there will be other crimes associated, plus a danger to the public at large including loss of life each year to further crimes committed inc dangerous driving.

Yet we just get a crime number, if we're lucky.

It’s bazaar isn’t it, I’m sure some on here must watch PMQ through a Daily Mail filter or something. She made him look a fool, he had his prepared jokes, she got in first and he had nothing.

He also sounded like school boy whose plums hadn’t dropped yet, what was that all about.

Ok

From your experience of investigating complex criminal enquires with numerous evidential strands and both current and historical issues with financial forensic analysis needed and likely multi agency involvement
( for starters)

How many officers should GMP assign to the enquiry, how long should it take and what rank/experience and skill set should they have?

Obviously I am not an expert in such matters - but I can see priorities. Why should there be 1 officer on a sexual crime yet dozens on this?

At work when we have potential fraud issues, we would use a forensic accountant and a tax expert and then get the police involved when it comes to questioning witnesses and charging.

You mean like the sex crimes he feels his daughter and friends were subjected to, and which can have a really insidious effect on society which greatly impacts us all and the freedom our children?
That probably involves a lot of coppers, but so far he/she/they feel they have none, and that in itself deepens the insidious affect on society.

Investigating a bit of past CGT dodging requires no coppers; investigating where she lives probably takes one.

I'd imagine the same questions were being asked by many people about cake-gate and beer-gate.

There is no doubt we sometimes (all) lack a sense of proportionality in this country.

Its all become somewhat "low rent" unfortunately.

I'd agree with you on that - at all levels of society.

Imagine how much better off we'd all be if the place wasn't full of thieving tts.Doesn't matter which way you look, somebody seems to be on the make

I love this place … so so many experts

What someone “feels” someone was subjected too doesn’t necessarily equate to a serious criminal offence that requires significant resources

On a scale of 1-10 someone can “feel” their experience rates as a 10 yet those who deal with these matters daily might review it evidentially and rate it in on the same scale as a 1

There are multiple factors to be considered and when you mention a car being stolen overnight off someone’s drive for example, as a victim you might rate the importance as a 10 but realistically the police know it’s solvability rates at 1 or probably less

Sometimes because of various reasons the Police have their hands forced and have to get involved in things they probably wish they didn’t

I’d suggest the Rayner matter is one such case, hence why they initially tried to bat it off, but it wouldn’t go away and became a much bigger issue than a random person committing a summary only offence numerous years ago that cannot be prosecuted due to statutory limitations

I can’t imagine for one minute they would decide to investigate for the sake of it. There must something worth looking in to.

How has it become a bigger issue, beyond the involvement of Tories? Even the Tory who reported her to police won't say what he reported to police.

Funny how same Tories were so strongly against police involvement re repeated law breaking in Downing St during lockdown, or Baroness Mone's acquisition of £millions in return for non-suitable PPE, or indeed the govt failing to ensure safety of health workers in their workplace, or Patterson, or Pincher, or countless other crimes.

Was Lord Ashcroft really "so strongly against police involvement" in the things you mention?

Or are you succumbing to massive Tribalism, and anyone under the same banner is the same?

Mone is being investigated, and will likely be done for. Downing Street lock downs were investigated and punished. Etc.

I'll repeat - the most amusing part of all these claims about the 'Tories' completely ignored it's being dealt with by pretty much the reddest police force in the country!

Maybe I misread her look before she adjusted for the television viewers. Either way it was a funny quip and something she will have to get used to if Labour win the GE.

I thought the opposite to you. She was certainly rattled and couldn’t even speak from her crib sheet without getting flustered.
But it’s only knock-a-bout pantomime and a bit of fun.

I’m sure that if you were a high profile politician you would get away with it, or maybe not.

Only if viewed through a Daily Mail-esque filter. For a woman who used to be a cleaner, I think she does really well.

And I find it odd that anyone would refer to speaking after the pantomime performances of Bojo.
