Starmer and Rayner have received questionnaires from Durham Constabulary.
Things like this maybe:

How would you rate your curry?

Was the beer to your satisfaction?

In a score from 1 -10 how would you rank your videographer?

Questions like that perhaps?

Q2. Was Angela Rayner in attendance?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Like Schrödinger's cat it's a paradox of quantum superposition. She can be thought of as simultaneously both there and not there until someone finds out she really was there.

Q3. Was the PCC elect present?

Q4. If yes, might this have been the cause of the delayed forms and reticence to answer.

I hope he doesn't get an GPN and we then have pages of people on here who were accusing the Met of being bent, levelling the same accusations at the Durham mob.

Highly amusing.

What an opportunity he has been given this week by the Conservative in-house fighting. He has been accused of being dull but could that not be an advantage? At least he is a high!y articulate debater who also knows how to dress and present himself. The electorate is weary of gimmics. If he can sideline some of the more extreme element in his party, he deserves to do better. The spin around Boris this week is risible.

And he's grasped it by... tumbleweed

Being dull is one thing, he seems to be a void though which is more problematic. I assume Durham police aren't short of incident rooms.

Never mind quantum mechanics, some of my neighbours have been both dead and alive for some time. On a more basic level, surely it would be difficult to miss Angela Raynor. No wallflower, she.

Is this a joke? The bloke is useless. Even if he is intelligent (since top lawyer and all that bks; something I doubt to be honest) it counts for nothing cos he has no charisma and doesn’t present interesting arguments or ideas to Boris / the Tory party.

He just makes mealy mouthed statements thinking he’s coming out on top cos Boris ate cake.

Absolutely useless.

Agreed, I too was somewhat surprised at the 'highly articulate' comment. He reminds me a bit of that other grey man with no personality - John Major (though I believe he was more intelligent than he appeared).

Major was supposed to have charisma in person, though…

I knew someone who used to flat share with Major. His view was that, if everyone in the country were to spend half an hour with him, he'd get every single vote. Zero charisma on the goggle box but engaging face-to-face.

Haha I enjoyed that

He (Boris) was saved by his rival. In one of the more baffling parliamentary performances of recent years, Starmer chose this moment of Johnson’s mortal danger to start talking about Covid and hospitals.
It is indeed baffling. How can starmer be so bad at his job.

There is only one logical explanation.

He’s a Tory sleeper agent.

Maybe Kier doesn't actually want him to resign but rather to limp on doing a terrible job until the next GE. If Boris resigns and somebody vaguely competent gets into power it's going to make his job a lot harder.
