A question for MPs silent over this cover-up: why are you in politics?
The Guardian
|July 17, 2025
For a moment it felt as if the dam might be about to burst. To let the anger in.
On Tuesday, the Commons had been at its pompous worst, drowning in self-righteousness as the defence secretary, John Healey, gave a statement on the leaked Afghan email, the superinjunction and the £850m bill to the taxpayer.
It was deeply regrettable, MPs on all sides agreed, but best to move on and not rock the boat. Parliament at its best and all that. Yesterday we got to hear Keir Starmer's view on the scandal in his prime minister's questions. He seemed to have moved on from Healey's acquiescent cover-up. The failings were manifold and former ministers had a great deal to answer for. The gloves were off.
