It’s almost as if the government realised #Brexit isn’t a good idea

A Conservative MP has admitted that one of his campaign staffers registered web domains in the name of a Lib Dem rival that directed voters to the Tory’s own campaign website

This is incredible. Yet another delay to UK import controls. Many aspects to this saga but they include that Brexiters & the govt denied for so long that Brexit would entail such controls, despite it being obvious since Lancs House speech of 01/17, + refusal to extend transition.

It may not warrant the largest of violins, but spare a thought for anyone writing a weekly Brexit blog for publication first thing on Friday morning (admittedly a vanishingly small minority) when a big Brexit news story breaks on a Thursday evening. 😢

Wouldn't be complete without the Venn Diagram would it?

We have known for three months that Mark Menzies used £14k of campaign funds for private medical bills and £6,500 to pay off 'bad people' he'd had sex with. So we took immediate action by attacking Angela Raynor.

politics makes more sense if you assume all Tory MPs are being blackmailed

You don't become an MP without being approved by literally hundreds of officials and members at every level of the party.

(It's a 70's thing )

1500 cases, over £1bn in payouts. All to protect management who concealed and destroyed evidence

This is the maddest story I've ever read. Asking staff to give huge sums of money to pay criminals is enough on its own to bar him from office, but it just goes on and on. Also has he heard of the NHS? Why so much money on medical bills?

I love the line about 'the unforeseen quantity of water in the ocean, which nobody could have predicted.' #LizTruss Via Private Eye Magazine

A truly astounding story. Maybe the strangest about any MP since John Stonehouse.

This is the beauty of liberal freedom. It grants diminutive examples of intellectual life like Nigel Farage the same rights as everyone else inews.co.uk/opinion/nigel-…

Ok look, here's the deal: We're going to read Nadine Dorries' book The Plot. Fuck my bastard life but it's going to happen. And then we're going to objectively appraise it in front of a live audience. Come along.

Open Letter to Suella Braverman - 17 April 2024

Ms. Suella Braverman MP,

Good Evening.

You kindly posted below a link to your full speech at the recent NatCon Conference in Brussels, and to say it was a chilling read would be a dangerous understatement.

In your speech, you've…

This is so cringe 🫣

“I asked the police to investigate certain matters that were in the public domain regarding um um… certain things”.
