I have always said this, those who stand in front of us just say words, words of no meaning. Ask yourself who runs the country when the house is in recess.
@LucyRigby prove me wrong and hold a proper inquest or royal commission on the treatment of smes by the banks.

🚨CUMMINGS BOMBSHELL: THE FAKE GOVERNMENT EXPOSED AS OLLY ROBBINS SCANDAL ERUPTS! 💣💥
Dominic Cummings Old Warning As Relevant As Ever As Unelected Officials Run The Show Behind Starmer's Back 🤔
Remember that jaw-dropping clip of Dominic Cummings ripping the lid off Whitehall?
He warned the whole British system is fake.
"You have fake meritocracy, fake responsibility and fake cabinet government", he said. "It's all nonsense. The cabinet is just a kind of stage theatre and actually officials in the cabinet office have already decided it all".
Now fast-forward to this week's chaos: top civil servant Olly Robbins is out the door after his department overruled security vetting to fast-track Peter Mandelson as US ambassador, without even telling Keir Starmer or David Lammy.
Exactly the kind of backroom power play Cummings described years ago.
Cummings laid it out crystal clear. Politicians pose and smile for the cameras, pretending they're deciding big calls on foreign affairs, immigration, you name it.
But the real power and decisions? Locked behind closed doors by unelected officials who've already scripted everything.
"Meetings in Whitehall are literally scripted", he revealed.
Before the Prime Minister even sits down with his ministers, officials hand him the script. He reads it out. Every Secretary of State reads their lines.
If anyone dares go off-script? Officials glance at each other with concern, note it down, and quietly make sure it never happens.
It sounds like a parody, Cummings stressed, "but it is literally how the British state functions today".
MPs love it because the system pretends they're in charge. Officials love it because they hold almost all the real power.
"The Cabinet Secretary is now a hundred times more powerful than any cabinet minister apart from the PM."
This isn't theory. It's happening right now.
The Robbins scandal proves Cummings' point in real time: while the public sees the show, the Blob runs the country.
