    > Mr Daly said he thought the “broad framing” of the matters Greater Manchester Police were investigating had been printed in The Times.
    “Rather than debating allegations in public,” he added, “we should allow the police to investigate these matters fully.”

    Headline is a bit misleading. Seems like a reasonable response. He isn’t the police. So realistically, who gives a fuck what he thinks she did wrong. Only matters what the police and CPS find.

    Edit: fucking hell the usual Rayner fanboys come out to play. She doesn’t read the comments lads. She ain’t into you.

  2. The way Daly and Greg Hands were dealt with in interviews today and the complete mess they made of it, is making me think that this is about to fall apart from them.

    Daly was asked a basic question about what he has actually alleged to the Police and what is it that he has asked them to investigate and he simply wouldn’t say. Whilst the details of the Police investigation itself should be kept confidential for obvious reasons, he wrote to them in his position as a representative of the UK Public, so it is entirely appropriate for him to say what it is he is complaining about.

    I suspect, he is refusing to say for a number of reasons. Either the allegations are spurious, potentially actionable by Rayner or more likely, it is just that as they are weak and will disappear as soon as they touch the light of day, so is just trying to hide behind “oooh, the Police are involved woooohhhoooo.” Obviously, this is massively hypocritical give the Tories are howling that Rayner release info, but are now refusing to even say what they are upset about.

    With Starmer’s comments about Rich men beating up on a working class woman seeming to land quite heavily with a lot of the press (given the questioning after PMQ’s on a variety of channels) then I have a sneaking suspicion that it is going to turn negative for the Tories relatively rapidly.
