No doubt there will be a lot of disgust and outrage from the Tory shires. But when it comes to the crunch they will hold their noses and ensure the Tories are reelected. Looking after number one is always top of the list for some of these people. Some things never change
I accept that my original comment is incorrect in the light of the information which is now coming to light and that shit didn't just happen in this instance. It now appears that a report had been issued in 2018 in which a consultant had advised the buildings owner that major structural damage...
