Will the Prime Minister listen? So far he has been as deaf as a doorpost. The more he defends these two people, and the more he delays taking action, the more he tarnishes further his reputation. Malta (and the Labour Party itself) are also being harmed, and the Prime Minister knows it, yet he persists in his position even in the face of good advice from those around him who have the courage to speak up.

In reply to Genn. What an ignorant idiot that Buontempo is. Incredible - he had no idea that the Finance Minister was talking about something so serious, and just couldn't be bothered.

Reminds of Geoffrey Howe’s infamous line:

“It’s time for others to consider their own response to the tragic conflict of loyalties with which myself have wrestled for perhaps too long.”

Unless I see concrete action, I will not place credibility on what Labour MPs say. As regards the loan scheme, I have faith that the PN will adopt it responsibly and professionally.

Why are backbenchers never interested in what others are saying?
