Could you provide some examples of 'indescretions' or similar misdemeanours by Sir Keir or senior members of his team? Even the right wing press have been unable to find any dirt to fling at him whatsoever, but if you know better, I would love to hear it!

To be fair, I would expect any such misdemeanor would have been widely published in the Daily (hate) Mail, SUN, Express or Torygraph along with coverage on SKY and of course the well respected GB News channel

The common criticism of Keir Starmer is usually at the opposite end of the spectrum, where he's accused of being too dull and straightlaced!

I quote from the BBC News website:

He was seen by social workers just two months before his death but they concluded there were "no safeguarding concerns".

How can that be a result of "severe funding/resourcing shortages"?

I'd say that laying the blame with money is the convenient excuse to which you also referred.

So it's time for an emergency debate so that our MPs can legislate to tackle this problem so that an "Arthur" doesn't happen again.

Now watch how that doesn't happen.

Well said Ian, but we will.

Exactly Ian. It's not difficult. One wise interviewee suggested these:

• Show me your fridge and the food you're giving him.
• Ask him to take off his shirt to look at his back (a horrendous number of bruises were found after death).
• Visit his school and talk to his teachers.
• Talk to Arthur alone, away from his parents.

Did Social Services do any of these? I very much doubt it.
