Dear Emma,
I gave my phone details to you partner to pass to a Mr Keith Parmer, he has them and I spoke to him yesterday on 0191 4271240. Is it safe to assume he is your Office Manager in South Shields and we should write to him on any issues we have with UK Docks? I am Michael David James Dawson etc.
It would appear that Mr Buck had deleted my email of the 13th and its attachment.
From: "BUCK, Simon" <simon.buck@parliament.uk> To: "mick.dawson@theharbourview.co.uk" Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 14:37:06 Subject: Correspondence with the Office of Emma Lewell-Buck Dear Mr Dawson, Thank you for your email sent this morning following from Mr Palmer's telephone conversation to you yesterday afternoon. I wish to address two points you raised. I was present during the conversation between Mr Palmer and yourself. I am afraid your recollection of the conversation was not a true account. Mr Palmer was polite, informative and accurate. Mr Palmer correctly informed you that MPs have no influence over the Local Government Ombudsman, and he suggested that a possible course of action may be to complain further to the Local Government Ombudsman and suggested you take legal advice. Finally, your suggestion that Mr Palmer, or any other staff member for that matter has been "warned off helping" Emma "by an official at the Town Hall" and then making references to the CLP trying to deselect Emma, is not only untrue but an unwarranted accusation. Your email seriously undermines Mr Palmer's, Emma's and the Office's integrity and it is a very serious matter. I am very sorry that Emma is unable to help you further with this case and I consider this matter to be closed. Simon Buck Office Manager for the Office of Emma Lewell-Buck MP
I had sent Emma a copy of the solicitor’s letter because Mr Palmer had suggested that I sought legal advice and I read that the Constituency Labour Party (CLP) had attempted to deselect her. Emma was in fact one of five MPs being deselected prior to the election in 2019 and there were articles about it in the National Press so one is entitled to ask, why on earth was Mr Buck contradicting me.
Note that he wished the matter to be closed and that he was not the first. He was in fact one of many and my records show that a Principal Planning Officer in 2013 was one of the first:- “this is the end of the matter as far as I am concerned. . Please do not email me again
I had given Mr Buck my home phone number on condition that Mr Palmer and I talk about corruption and UK Docks’ shed:-
Dear Simon,
Sorry, I do not look in my mail every day and it may be better to use my personal email boxdaw50nmdj@hotmail.co.uk unless Keith wants to talk about corruption at the Town Hall, UK Docks etc.
A message was left on my phone at home the following Monday to ring Emma’s office and I returned the call quite late on the 13th January 2020. It became clear during that call, that UK Docks and corruption was the last thing that Mr Palmer wished to talk about. Evidence that he had taken sides with those on the Council who claimed that UK Docks had permission for their shed.
More importantly Mr Palmer appeared to have taken sides with those who had been bullying Emma since she had become an MP.
