The Prime Minister is now no doubt gearing up for a difficult week. If a weekend allows some respite, it’s forty-eight hours and no more. Come Monday, some pundits may even be expecting a resignation speech. This is constitutional politics at its heart, too, because in this State it matters who’s who – and who isn’t.
The resignation or dumping of some key figures doesn’t go unnoticed and promised scrutiny on Tuesday may go down badly, as much as it has done so far, but for so many more reasons. The impressions MP’s then have may determine a more shuddering outcome than before.
The problem gotten rid of isn’t the rot gone away. It may be more are to blame for this scandal than meets the eye, too many for the casual spectator to observe. It’s possible that other Labour figures have more knowledge on this, having done some digging by themselves. That may result in a few more nasty articles in the press, and embarrassment follows.
