Shame indeed. The Times says she "lost" a total of 3 of her employer's work phones! Once is unfortunate, twice is suspiciously inept but three times looks like blatant dishonesty - particularly as she did not fess up when the third phone was found. -
Shame, she seemed a decent Transport Secretary, it's not as if Grant Shapps never did anything wrong. It's also a shame that some seem to enjoy these sorts of revelations. She declared the offence so not sure why she needed to resign. I thought that in the UK we had a culture of forgiveness. -
It looks like indiscretions, crimes, incompetency etc by MPs generates a lot of responses so it might be a good time to start a new thread every time a new scandal emerges. Heaven knows there are enough of them from all parties.

It's not Thames Water's responsibility to keep Peckham Rye free of water, no. But the recent works designed to to hold water in the park: “capturing about 6 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of surface water and releasing it very slowly”, where undertaken to stop houses from flooding. The increased risk of houses flooding is the result of a drainage and sewage system which are in dire need of upgrading / modernising, and unable to cope. And this, Thames Water are responsible for. We are paying for their under investment (over many, many years) in the drainage and sewage system; In cash terms - funding the works to modify the park, holding more water in it to, and through the loss of amenity that follows from the park being waterlogged more frequently.
