In June there was an Early Day Motion (1440) expressing concern that the stake was not due to be reduced until April 2020. In September Crouch told an all party group that the stake would be reduced "in the financial year starting April 2019". October 2019 is very definitely in that financial year.

Their guilt or innocence is completely independent of this effect.
Presumably he means Brexit is the worst thing since the Black Death.
Personally, Mr M, I’m becoming alarmed by the prospects on all sorts of sides. That Mr B and Mr F are having to explain themselves to The Plod is unsurprising, although one of the former’s associates was complaining that the EC was composed of Remainers, and, by implication, this was why they were being picked on.
Mind you, Leave supporters have done everything they can to ensure that no consensus is going to emerge around Brexit. It's almost as if they want it to fail.

Having said that, right now its an investigation. There is no evidence a bit more cash swung any votes any more or decided the referendum. Personally i dont think it did.
The main issue is that those involved with this unofficial vote leave campaign may not merely have broken some electoral accounting laws but perhaps were funded via foreign state operated impermissible sources.
If such a case emerged from the investigation issue isnt the brexit vote, its colluding with a foreign state. Theres probably a term for it.. ..
The Wars of the Roses might be a more plausible comparison, but the obvious one is the Reformation.
Personally, I'm quite happy at present; one wobbles every now and again, but that's natural, I feel.

No wonder a deal is nigh!
(smiley face emoji, lol, etc.)
It would be presented to the Cabinet as a fair accompli and EU leaders would make clear no further alternatives would be considered. Andrea Leadsom and Esther McVey are seen as the Cabinet Ministers most likely to resign afterwards but Gove and Fox are likely to stay

And by the way, many other posters have been banned for far less.
We will see in time what is or isnt found. Early days for the public side of this investigation.
Con hold probably about 1/3 on what I am aware of.
We need a deal that gets all four out.
A Corbyn spokesman has said the key is whether it commits to 'permanent membership of a customs union'

This post was in no way influenced either by my well known ambivalence about the Jezziah or my bet with The White Rabbit.
The public elected a pro Remain government in 2015. And the leaflet wasn't covert
You could rewrite your post as follows:
"I’m convinced that the amount of people scanning the internet to deliberately become outraged at a crime exceeds by an order of magnitude those who complained about the crime in the first place."
Who needs Solyent Green ...
A question: does anyone actually defend FOBTs?
(And BTW, it's a shame iSam is not on for this; I had my disagreements with him, but he was bang-on about this at a time it was not generally on the radar.)
Still, good to know that part of my unnecessary tax cut is being paid by exploiting gambling addicts. That's the warm feeling you get from a Tory government.
New Labour blog @LabourHub has run Hitler's 1920 Nazi manifesto as a suggested way forward for Corbyn's labour and nobody noticed. Luckily for us all, @TheRedRoar managed to save the article before it was removed. Here it is in all its glory. For obvious reasons, it doesn't include the manifesto points about the supremacy of the Aryan race, which might have been a bit of a giveaway.

You may want to consider who bought in the evil legislation allowing FOBTs ...
Tax rises are ok by the public unless they are mine
I bet we're far from alone in this.
Corbyn's Labour does not offer help to those who genuinely need it - just to those who back their world view.
(*) Though we are only one bout of cancer or other ill-luck away from a worse position.
There is real need in society. Corbyn seems blind to this, and instead concentrates on the same peripheries he's been obsessing about for three decades.
I don't think that can happen when so much care home provision seems to operate more on the basis of the Owners making money than on providing proper care and respect for those being looked after (and that includes paying the staff decent living wages)
As an example, when MoL, Ken Livingstone with Chavez to get cheap oil from Venezuela. History will show this as being of virtually no benefit to Londoners, and a massive negative to Venezuelans. It helped Chavez and his regime, however.

I wonder how close the site comes to representing all 650 constituencies?.
