Like, idk, maybe I'm a fool but I would think "the King's brother is a pedophile" and "the royal family protected him until the last possible moment" would have more people openly discussing republicanism let alone anarchy.

So apparently Rachel Reeves didn't break the ministerial code because her housing-related law-breaking was "inadvertent".

The PM's ethics adviser also found that Angela Rayner made a mistake "in good faith", but in that case, she still breached the ministerial code and had to go.

It's so fucking transparent that Starmer applies different standards to left-wing ministers than to right wing ones.
