1 February (Part 2) - Par for the Parliamentary course?
Bexley Village resident Elwyn Bryant was quite pleased
to receive a letter
from his new MP who said that he too was “angry” that his party leader “has not been following rules”.
It turned out to be a standard letter which some people not known to me published on line.
As stated on 26th January Elwyn followed up with a letter seeking his MP’s view on
the alleged
blackmailing of Conservative MPs by their whips. It was emailed to Louie French on 22nd January.
May I also mention another alarming report coming out of Westminster,
namely public accusations of Blackmail by the whips. Should this be
reported to the Police, may I ask? Considering that MPs like to call each
other honourable, I must say, there does not seem to be any honour amongst
our MPs, more like, night of the long knives.
There was no acknowledgement or reply but a week later Elwyn
returned to something close to his original question.
Considering the recent developments in regards to the Sue Gray inquiry, may I
ask you again, do you agree that the said inquiry should now be published in its
entirety, regardless of the interference by the Metropolitan Police? Do you also
agree that the police have no right to interfere with an internal inquiry set
up by the Prime Minister. Many senior figures across both sides the House, and
others in the legal profession, have published their beliefs about the inquiry
and the Police interference. Would you be so kind as to send to me where you
stand, as my representative, on these matters?
Early days perhaps but once again the email has not been acknowledged.
Louie French frequently says that he is keen to follow in his predecessor’s footsteps and appears to be
doing so very literally in Elwyn’s case.
