It's not the job of journalists to cause the downfall of the Prime Minister. Their job is to ask questions and listen to relevant answers.

You're being deliberately nieve for some reason.

BIB - Pity Jon Snow didn't remember that isn't it

Oh and I wasn't being naive just pointing out that there is more than one way to skin a cat

Are you saying Cameron answered Jon's question regarding the QC?

he did answer it and got himself in a muddle just as Jon Snow got himself in a muddle with his eagerness to keep interrupting, that is why I said originally better to let DC talk and hang himself with his own words, but that is something you seem to have a problem with for some reason.

OK I am stopping here as I can see this is going to be a circular argument, feel free to have the last word

Aw! I wanted to ask you what Camerons answer was, nvm. And I'd prefer you to get the last words.

It concluded there were "not reasonable grounds to suspect any offence and they certainly were not going to look for any - in case they found some"

It's not their job to investigate electoral abuse after all, that's down to the ...oh wait

The Tory investigation may yield a different result.

Well fortunately there's police involvement in many aspects of that rather than just the ostriches at the electoral commission.

Though I'm sure if it does yield a different result the level of whataboutery that it will provoke will bury the thread

No doubt. Still it will signal some resistance to buying local victories in strategicly targeted constituencies. It will allow the smaller parties to compete with the millionaire funded tories and the Union backed Labour party. This was surely the whole point of capping local spend in the first place. It's clearly being breached by the Tories, Cant say it's so clear with Labour although tbf it's not been my focus of attention.

I think the Tories must have secretly funded the "Ed Stone" which is why it wasn't on Labour's GE expenses....
