Senator M-B-H has launched a scathing attack on Senator Jimmy's competence and his performance in leading the 4th Dino convoy to Loeuss, the convoy was badly hit by a Utrek ambush. "This is the man who wishes to be Consul next year? The Gods help us!" M-B-H told a meeting of Lakes' political party VERITAS = TRUTH. "The truth is being uncovered now, Jimmy always has been a mediocre talent. Content to skulk in the shadows and count the paperclips while men like Ronald did the actual fighting. It would be a disaster if he was in a position to lead us into battle. The Republic would be in peril!"
M-B-H stopped short of confirming that he will be standing in the Consul election against Jimmy however. Officially Veritas have not chosen a candidate.
The deputy leader of Jimmy's Liberal Party Legate Z-B-H said, "Jimmy led the battle well, in very difficult circumstances. How the Utrek got to discover the convoy is an interesting question..."
