If only Blair had set up a war crime tribunal, that would have been hilar.

just about every former mp has used their connections to lobby on behalf of others. That's how politics works. That's why the term lobbyist exists

He's a tory, and the British public that vote them in time and time again are doormats that allow tories to trample all over them. Nothing will happen with him, because the tory loving public will refuse to hold him accountable.

This kind of thing is widespread in politics like Bots said, and they should ALL be challenged, every one of them, whatever colour their politics. There's enough to do without spending endless time and resources carrying on a "he said she said" to and fro whenever someone does something reprehensible. Make an example of one of them... Cameron, for instance. As a Tory, I wouldn't have a problem with that.

He released a long statement
during the week of mourning the Duke, clever |

investigations are a great way to appease the masses and they mean diddly squat
|
Tories investigating tories, I'm sure that'll work out great.

Full independent inquiry is what's required.
I don't agree with institutions investigating themselves in the main. On paper, this is beginning to smell a little unsavoury. So looking into it needs to be done. ' in the right way however'. |
