Labour Senedd member Rhianon Passmore has been spotted driving out of the Welsh Parliament’s car park with her number plate hanging off, revealing a different one underneath. When the car was next seen the shoddily-glued plate had fallen off entirely…
Afterwards the car had a plate on the front and a different one on the back. Neither is legal – one is unregistered and the other is untaxed and overdue. It’s not the first time Passmore has parked herself on the wrong side of the law: she was previously banned from driving for 20 months after going for a jaunt post-several glasses of wine…
Guido hears the police are now investigating the case. Are politicians trying out innovative ways to avoid 20mph fines?
UPDATE: Labour have administratively suspended Passmore: “The Labour Party takes the conduct of our elected representatives extremely seriously and all complaints are investigated in accordance with the Party’s complaints procedures.”
UPDATE II: Police say no offence. Passmore readmitted.
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
