It is a fact that the Opposition is tarnishing the character and reputation of individuals for their own selfish political ends.

It is a fact that the Opposition are choosing to give the worst possible interpretation on everything in a feeble attempt to tarnish those involved.

It is a fact that the Opposition have converted the McGrail Inquiry into a political witch-hunt.

It is a fact that Mr Pyle was appointed to advise the Chief Secretary and not to advise the Union.

It is a fact that a desperate Opposition has become increasingly vitriolic and poisonous when they have run out of arguments.

It is a fact that Mr Azopardi’s political career is on the line at the next general election.
