Expenses Fraud: No-Deal Sceptics and Lib Dems

expenses fraud: Conservative no-deal sceptics warned about the rapidly growing threat the government could face from the reinvigorated Lib Dems, while insiders blamed Theresa May's administration for choosing a candidate who had already been ousted for expenses fraud, according to The Guardian. One of the most prominent Conservative supporters of a second referendum told the Guardian on Friday he was actively considering defecting to the Lib Dems or sitting as an independent, a move that would leave Johnson at the helm of a minority government. The result prompted immediate recriminations across the party. Dr Phillip Lee, the former justice minister, who first suggested he could quit the party in his own podcast, On the House, told the Guardian he was not alone among colleagues considering defecting or resigning if the government pursued no deal. There are a number of colleagues who are spending the summer reflecting on what is the right way for them to confront this no-deal scenario. I have things to think about over the summer, but it is not just me, he said. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
