Re: spying
I listen to PMQs on Radio 4 , Thought this was good this week
[I][May pointed out that Corbyn was meant to ask a question. She said she set out in a speech last week that she was unconditionally committed to the security of Europe. Somewhat incongruously she added: “He normally asks me to sign a blank cheque – and I know he likes Czechs .../I]

Re: spying
How long has this been known by the intelligent services ? Seems odd that it should raise it's head now, especially as is widely believed in some quarters JC is also a terrorist sympathiser and personal friend of yer maun Gerry Adams.

Re: spying
I was not replying to your comment and my post has no political agenda, it was a straight forward question.

Re: spying
regardless of party or persuasion , I think , public servants and politicians should be barred from all social media , To me it is a cess pit of fake news and bovine faecal matter , When you read / hear tomorrow the prime minster , leader of the oppression , spokeswoman for the smarty party will announce to parliament the following ..... DUH ! they have just announced it to the World . none of them can keep quiet , come back Lord Sutch you are forgiven
this applies to all parties including high heels , low heels , Blefuscuians , whigs , liberals and greens

Re: spying
I don't like to post on politics all that much but the old saying there is no smoke without fire does spring to mind a in this case as it horrifies me to think that someone who is being touted as a future leader of our country should have any links, however tenous, with organisations that he has been shown to have.
Another Polly who has been strangely quiet this past few years has just stuck his head above the parapet exposeing his views on post Brexit Britain, saying we should be a low tax, light handed regulatory, offshore trading centre, which is at total odds to his parties present view on tax and regulations. I am of course talking of a certain Teflon Tony.
