Labour’s Hartlepool candidate Paul Williams came under more scrutiny this morning as LBC’s Nick Ferrari asked Keir Starmer about old tweets including discussing “Tory MILF” In response Starmer said “he’s deleted it and apologised”. Yet, as readers can see, the Tweet is very much still online and not deleted…
Do you have a favourite Tory MILF? Mind-blowing dinner table conversation @ #ppw11

Sir Keir did not have much luck defending Williams over his praise for Saudi Arabia – the year Jamal Khashoggi was assassinated. In 2018 Williams tweeted praise for the “progressive” regime. Starmer today hit out saying “Paul shouldn’t have said that”…
Asked by Yousef, from the Saudi Embassy in UK, whether my perceptions of Saudi Arabia have changed after this trip, I said that my previous notions have been blown out of the water. I’ve seen a modern, progressive Saudi Arabia that has totally changed my view of this country pic.twitter.com/Hn59tuobXf

He went on to say “Paul has explained and apologised for those comments”. Yet Guido cannot find a single instance of Williams explaining or apologising for describing Saudi Arabia as “modern” and “progressive”. And his 2018 Tweet is still online…
