Yes, her reputation is what it is, but on this matter she is in principle: right. If the givernment delays the revealing of the report until ater elections, it likely includes information that could affect voters' decision. So delaying it is in principle manipulating the elections. But then, there have been so many lies and manipulations over Brexit, one more or less is not even the cream on top anymore, but just common routine. Its called politics.

Polls mean nothing that has been proved when MayBot was riding high in the polls calls a general election and the rest is history.

Nigel Farage claimed he was offered a peerage 48 hours before blinking first in his Brexit stand off with Boris Johnson .

The Brexit Party chief was forced to scrap plans to stand candidates in hundreds of seats amid mounting warnings he risked scuppering EU withdrawal.

He claimed he was offered a peerage on Friday night – just two days before his screeching U-turn boosted the Prime Minister.

But he denied the Christmas bauble was behind his decision – and vowed to snub the offer.

Not just in the Mirror either.

Labour is reportedly suffering a second cyber-attack after saying it successfully thwarted one on Monday.

The party says it has "ongoing security processes in place" so users "may be experiencing some differences", which it is dealing with "quickly".

The Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack floods a computer server with traffic to try to take it offline.

The veteran Labour politician Frank Dobson, who served as health secretary under Tony Blair, has died aged 79.

A popular figure in the party, he left government to contest the first-ever London mayoral election in 2000, coming third to ex-colleague Ken Livingstone.

Mr Blair said Mr Dobson had made an "immense contribution" to Labour's 1997 landslide election victory and was a politician of the "highest calibre".

Not really bothered and as I've said before, they are a source of entertainment.

It looks like Philip Hammond is the latest passenger to jump aboard the gravy train.

Quote:

The former chancellor of the exchequer Philip Hammond has found a job worth about £125,000 a year within a week of stepping down as an MP.

He has become a non-executive director of Irish metal and glass packaging firm Ardagh, which is listed on the New York stock exchange. The firm said Hammond had joined its board and would serve on its audit committee, which oversees financial reporting and disclosure.
