a column nation of allegations against dominic, rob, and of course 5 month long investigation, which was instigated by rob himself. political reasons of course, once a month would argue, but make number say, this is a resignation letter. i mean, it may be that trying to sort of say that he is willing to continue to give his support the prime minister wishes to not. but there is an undertone that suddenly of his frustration with the process. of course he is sticking to the fact that he is residing because he himself made the promise that if any counts of bullying and intimidation were up health and he would resign. so to counsel those have been upheld and now he is forced to abide by his own word. but suddenly, the tone of that reflect his you could even say, i'm go with the fact that he believes that it was perhaps his right to be able to
