Replacing her as the MP is what I mean - if he gets elected, hence 'potentially' I wonder which she was in it for... personal advantage, power, or control over people? (all three?)

This is hilarious: Ms Allan added about Mr Adams that he was "not in it for personal advantage, power, or control over people" and his motivation for standing "is profoundly honourable". She said: "Alan gives Telford a choice, so that Telford does not have to settle for more of the same...

Twats deserting a sinking ship

I'd struggle to raise my young family on £9k, yes. My point is about means testing in general. Where they set the threshold(s) is another matter. Nobody should be left struggling after paying their dues, in good faith, their whole working lives. However, doling out the state pension to those...

Surely means testing the pension is actually a progressive measure? Any pensioners struggling are presumably not those who would not qualify for a means-tested pension? IMO something like this needed but I never thought the Tories would want to put their name to it. Wealthy pensioners aren't...

I live in a rural village within the Lewes constituency. The absence of Conservative placards for any recent elections has been remarkable. Either CCHQ has given up on Lewes and withdrawn budget, or their traditional supporters (even the farmers) have given up on them. Neither is a good sign for...

Daisy Cooper, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, one of the main parties on the council in question, said: “Maria Caulfield should apologise to local people and report her leaflet to the ministerial ethics adviser. That would be the honest and decent thing to do.” She called the...

Did nobody notice when 30p went to reform?

Why's that then? He's not obliged to accepts her into the party. Telling an unsuitable character to go elsewhere isn't peevish or petty, it's principled! She would have done almost as much damage to the Tories by defecting to Reform.

What would be REALLY funny is if he pulled off a coup, so ended up in a safe seat and back as leader... Cue a sizeable bump in polling numbers compared to Rishi Rich (say 20% better), taking the Tories' haul up to a whopping 40 seats and still beaten into 3rd by the LibDems... Poor old work...

Why on Earth would he want guaranteed media exposure at a time that many Tories will be thinking about a change of leader? Hmmmm...

Well, of course! Unless one is making vast profits from the public sector, how could one possibly afford to scratch the expensive backs that help?

Wrong! It's £15m to wipe the slate clean apparently :)

There are a couple of things about this that have left me scratching my head: I wonder what the Tories would be doing if he was a less generous donor? At what amount does the response change from "What he said was inappropriate, not racist or misogynist, he has apologised, so let's move on...

Far be it for me to stick up for a Tory aristocrat, but that's a bit of a misrepresentation of the facts here... The road in question is not the private drive to Firle Place for starters. It's fair to say that the road isn't a public road (i.e. looked after by the highways authority or whatever...

Would "other simpletons" be too simplistic?

Bacon sandwiches are off limits to MPs after what happened to Milliband

You'd better not wear your faux leather sandals, ya commie bastard! FWIW, tea makes me heave whatever the milk. As a black coffee drinker, milk is pretty much only there for a splash in mash potato (double cream if we have it) or for cereal for the kids. Am I bringing them up Tory?

We only ever have whole milk in our house. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?! 😱 😂

This is so true. I would also add that they are paranoid about anything unfamilar and fear outsiders / forriners / change in general.
