The problem is that we have no way of knowing whether a super-injunction exists, other than triggering the sanctions dependent upon it. Worse, we have no way of knowing whether and injunction is political dynamite, or merely a thin-skinned individual seeking to protect his reputation and personal life. I doubt if voters would have cared about an unorthodox sexual or private life, so the irony is that people will assume the political worst of him.

Anyway, a beautiful example of the biter bit. Powerful people invent these mechanisms to protect their wrongdoing, but are powerless against the speculation that they cause.

So there's an injunction on saying whether there's an injunction or not. It can't be just about whether he had an affair in the past and fathered a child. That's no big deal. Maybe Alli's properties are being used as as some sort of shop (k) or worse.

The Tories were corrupt, but Labour are on a whole different level of corruption.

We are rapidly heading towards a totalitarian government, and I find that frightening!
