   >Sir Keir, who led the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 to 2013 and previously worked as human rights lawyer, is expected to say that trust in politics is now “so low, so degraded, that nobody believes anyone can make a difference any more”.

   >”After the sex scandals, the expenses scandals, the waste scandals, the contracts for friends – even in a crisis like the pandemic – people think we’re all just in it for ourselves,” he will say.

   >”To change Britain, we must change ourselves – we need to clean up politics. No more VIP fast lanes, no more kickbacks for colleagues, no more revolving doors between government and the companies they regulate.

2. “As cronyism claims swirl around Keir Starmer”

   Papers which were silent about the Tories gifting literally tens of billions to their rich mates, are all of a sudden concerned about cronyism in politics.

   Levenson 2.0 can’t come soon enough.

The decline of the UK is almost entirely the people’s fault and I feel no sympathy whatsoever.
