I was called to the Bar (became a Barrister) in 2003
I had to supply references from respectable people, to prove I was of Good Character
If I had been a convicted fraudster, like Louise Haigh, I would've failed.
What are we now? This still matters.
Now that Louise Haigh is back in the cabinet, can the mainstream media refer to her as a “convicted fraudster”?
They have no issue referring to Geroge Cottrell as a “convicted criminal.”
I have no respect for two-tier reporting.
Interesting 🤨
A fraud conviction does not result in a blanket ban on employment. However, you are legally barred or heavily restricted from working in regulated financial services, the legal profession, law enforcement, and roles involving handling large amounts of client funds or charity trusteeship.
Why has @andyburnham appointed a criminal to high office?
If the speculation is right that Andy Burnham offered Rachel Reeves defence, that really doesn’t bode well. She has no interest in defence and stood in the way of giving our military the resources it needs. A relief she turned it down (if speculation correct). She should never have been offered it in the first place. Indicates Burnham not serious about defence.
So the rules are Reform MPs - fearing for their lives - cannot even insinuate that the brutal murder of their colleague may have been a targeted attack - even when it was obvious from the start.
But the Labour Home Secretary, PM, incoming PM, Police, the BBC and entire establishment media can instantly speculate wildly and loudly about a “right wing” terrorist plot on an Islamic event -
only for the it to be proven totally false.
This is Britain in 2026.
This is why Britain needs REFORM.
The treacherous Lord Hermer has left government. I have no hope in Andy Burnham, but I feel absolute joy that the man who pitched so-called human rights laws against our veterans and in favour of migrants is out of Government.
🚨BREAKING: David Lammy has taken legal action to BLOCK the publication of crime rates by foreign migrants across England and Wales

Huge coverup
