Minister for Murdoch Survives Commons Vote

Jeremy Hunt managed to survive a parliamentary vote yesterday despite losing the support of the Liberal Democrats and having the opposition of the Labour party. One of the most notable moments was when the Shadow immigration minister, Chris Bryant directly accused Jeremy Hunt of lying. Despite the fact that you are not allowed to accuse ministers of lying in parliament, the speaker of the House allowed it this time.

The public are wondering why Cameron is continuing to back Hunt, despite his unpopularity and the widespread belief amongst the public that he was biased has lied to parliament and has broken the ministerial code. I am angry that more Conservatives did not vote against Hunt as they know damn well that he is guilty – they just don’t want to embarrass their party. To the two Conservatives who voted against Hunt, I congratulate, they put honour and decency before the party which is the way it should be.
