Keeping Company

One more sleep. George Galloway has just asked live on air whether there was a D-Notice on the Ukrainian rentboys story. “If I received a D-Notice, I would hold it up and show it to you here and now.” So, is there a D-Notice on the Ukrainian rentboys story?

Then there is Keir Starmer’s flagrant breach of the Ministerial Code by holding an undocumented and unminuted meeting with Palantir in Washington last February alongside the then British Ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson, while Palantir was a client of Global Counsel, which Mandelson had founded and in which he remained a shareholder all the way up to its collapse this February owing £4.6 million, including £600,000 to the taxman.

There is no good outcome for Starmer tomorrow. A trial would be a disaster, even or perhaps especially if it led to convictions. But so would an adjournment, or sudden changes in the pleas, or anything else that stopped the trial from going ahead there and then. One more sleep.
