Would she have been offered ‘Christian forgiveness’ by Michael Gove? If she had donated money to the Labour Party would Keir Starmer have to pay it back? If she was...
Keir Starmer would have to disown her completely, withdraw the whip and return the money. There is a double standard.

You better watch out because you will get squashed - by the wrath of the ‘principled’ and ‘righteous’ who will bring down the weight of wealth and law plus the power of the gutter press on your head.
