What kind of people does Sir Keir Starmer have in his ministerial rank? If the story surrounding Stephen Doughty, 41, his foreign affairs and international minister to go by, very odd ones and possibly criminal ones. The MP’s unlikely tale begins with an alleged panic attack ahead of taking an international flight a couple of years back.

Really? An MP could not contact a doctor locally for a straightforward prescription? I find that hard to believe. So what does he do? He meets up in a local café with a constituent Byron Long who had two problems. A) He had housing issues which he hoped the MP could solve. B) He had mental health issues but the good news was had been prescribed Valium to deal with it. This is what Mr Doughty had been looking for. According to Long between 2017-2019 he handed over 140 Valium tablets to Doughty. That is very serious. Possession of diazepam (Valium) without a prescription carries a maximum sentence of two years in jail.
Long explained why he handed over the pills. “I felt if I didn’t give them to him he wouldn’t help me. I felt trapped,” he said in both the Mail and Sunday and The Times.

His spokesman said; “Stephen apologies for any error he made in making the request.” Doughty is a minister. The idea of him hanging around cafes and constituents picking up Valium tablets is wholly unacceptable. Can I suggest he steps down until he has sorted himself out. Starmer should pick up the phone. Not to sack him but to ask for the Valium tablets himself. I suspect he will be needing them when the Hartlepool result comes in on Thursday night.
