I'm not sure what point you're trying to make but it looks like one of forgiveness and letting sleeping dogs lie, with a soupcon of whataboutery thrown in. 

 

As with yer man who sent the pictures of his junk to a stranger, this isn't about the specifics of how he gets his rocks off - each to his own and all that. The trouble is that we've got a prurient tabloid media who enjoy the titillation of stories involving homosexual activity as if we were still in the 1970s and It Ain't Half Hot Mum was still acceptable viewing. 

 

However, there are standards we can expect of our MPs, let's call them integrity, professionalism and accountability. Menzies made yet another bad choice and demonstrated a chronic lack of any of the three.

 

I'd never donate to a political party but if I did, I think I'd expect my donations to be put towards campaigns to have 'my' candidate elected, not towards his medical bills nor towards paying a ransom to get him out of a sticky situation into which he'd put himself. Furthermore, I would be raging if the party to which I'd donated was fully aware of this and sat on the story for three months hoping that it wouldn't see the light of day. 

 

So, yes, Menzies may have a future but not as a politician. And it's bigger than just him; the party will need to go some to convince me that they've handled any of this with Sunak's integrity, professionalism or accountability.

No doubt.  But until such time that they might unfortunately require a period of health related absence from work.  Then find that they cannot rely on the discretion of an independent doctor.  

 

They would howl from the rooftops no doubt.

At what point in any of an elites life will they need to see a General Practice Doctor on the NHS or rely on them for something?  They will most likely all have private health plans and/or their own private physicians on stand bye.   All this howling at the moon is for the last bastions of the party.  Custer had a better chance of winning that this mob.

I guess this tweet relates to the same speech

 

Slimy as ***k

If that's not what he intended to convey, he should be out there clarifying. And then he should be engaging a better speech writer. But I'm inclined to go with BfB's summary as being the intention.

I could reel off at least half a dozen of the cerebrally challenged on here that would be all for that. 

A sure-fire vote winner in villages up and down the country.

I wonder what is evisaged to comprise this new,  world leading "specialist work and health professional" agency that will have responsibility for certification.  The mind boggles.  

 

Publicly funded but outsourced to a private,  commercial contractor per chance?  No proper and open tendering process?  Contract mysteriously lands with friendly business interests?  By a remarkable coincidence a party donor perhaps?  

 

Amirite?

Nobody likes a hysterical, humourless virtue signaller who takes posts in bad faith.
