You might want to expand the title, A lot of Freepers may not know off hand what PMQT means let alone the reason why it’s important.
BTW how would you rate this scandal compared to Lloyd George’s Honours scandal or the Profumo affair?
How bad will this hurt Labour?
No where near as bad.
Ultimately it was human error from a department which has become fairly autonomous.
BUT the labour benches are demoralised, they look awful and the tories are pounding them.
Politics is a funny thing as you know, they might not have done much wrong - but they take the blame, it makes them look in chaos.
Ultimately Labour has directly done much worse....
