‘Preemptive’ Farage triggers by-election to dodge suspension over undisclosed gift

Former attorney general for England and Wales Dominic Grieve described Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's triggering of a by-election as a preemptive move to avoid parliamentary suspension following a pending report into undisclosed gifts. “It's clearly a preemptive move because there was about to be a publication of the parliamentary commission of a standards report into his acceptance and non-disclosure of a five million pound gift from his friend Mr Harborne,” Mr Grieve told Sky News Australia. “On the face of it, he has no credible defence or explanation; he keeps on insisting that he hasn't broken any rules, but the rules, as I understand them, are pretty crystal clear. “He was about to have a condemnatory finding against him, which was probably going to lead to him being suspended from the House of Commons … he's decided to preempt that by triggering a by-election."

Entire Police Department Fired Over Evidence Room Drama

Barrackville Police Department / FacebookA small West Virginia town has been left without its police department after every officer was removed from duty following a dispute over an alleged break-in at the department’s evidence room. Barrackville’s police department announced Tuesday that Mayor Tom Straight and the town council had removed all members of the force from duty. Former Sgt. Hunt told 12 News he discovered the evidence room had been entered without authorization and raised concerns about missing access keys and the town’s handling of the investigation. Hunt alleged that a council member had taken police keys and said he and the department’s only other officer were fired after challenging town officials. The department clerk also resigned, leaving Barrackville with no police employees. Hunt said he told officials he would take steps to secure whistleblower protection after raising his concerns. The turmoil comes days after Chief Zachary Freeburn stepped down amid disputes over the council’s authority over the department. County deputies will now respond to calls in the town of about 1,300 residents as officials seek a resolution.Read it at The New York PostRead more at The Daily Beast.
