Dear journalists
What's going on between Starmer and Reeves? This is the second time he's saved her, isn't it?

Didn't Starmer campaign on a sleaze ticket, saying he would clean up wrongdoing by MPs? #Labour is turning out just as bad as the Tories!

I didn't know you need a licence to rent out a house, did you? I don't think she'd do something so daft deliberately. An enquiry would be a complete waste of money. She screwed up. I'm more worried by what it says about her eye for detail.

I'm not sure if it were a Tory you'd be so forgiving. I think the key here is, unlike us plebs, government ministers, especially senior ones, should check, check, and check again before they do anything. If I were in the government, I would check that it was OK for me to buy a bogroll.

"No, no. We didn't know we needed a license."
"Erm? There are emails from your husband asking the estate agent to get the license."
"Err? Ooh, it's OK. The Estate Agents say it's all their fault."
"How fortunate, why didn't they own up before?"
