I’m truly lost for words.
Well, not ones I would use in polite company anyway.

I am thinking of setting up a new financial company to make it easier for our MPs to accept bribes
MPAYPAL.
MPAYPAL.
It's nothing to do with him being a politician and everything to do with this being part of this crop of Conservative politicians. This episode is absolutely disgusting.
British Democracy RIP, the UK is now officially a banana republic.
Is my understanding correct? That rather than accept the findings of an impartial parliamentary investigation into this individual’s behaviour, he’s persuaded his colleagues to instead vote for a complete reworking of the rules around MPs behaviour, conveniently letting himself off the hook, and avoiding the risk of a by-election?

Indeed. And the tin hat bleat that 'all politicians are the same' does only one thing - it encourages them.
The sad thing is this shower not only hope to get away with this, they know they will.
Yep.
JCFG will be along to explain why this is the right course of action, to us, bleeding heart lefties, soon, I'm sure.

But the Prime Minister has intervened on his behalf.....so that's all right then.
A serial liar and philanderer that very few people trust intervening on behalf of somebody who has been found guilty of using House of Commons Notepaper and his Parliamentary Office facilities, which WE pay for, to further his own commercial interests and those of companies by which he is paid, remunerated, as a consultant, all of which is very heavily against the rules.
It stinks.

We no longer have a Parliamentary Government in charge of the country, we have a very successful crime syndicate in charge.
****ing hell. I remember when we could laugh at Berlusconi and think “it’ll never happen here.”

Unfair.
It is the current crop and the creeping lie factory, invented by 'Call Me Dave' (the pig ****er) and his Bullingdon chums. Dilletantes, chancers and trustafarians, playing at politics because they can.
Decent tories need to get shot of them, pronto, and drain the swamp.
And the Greens are irrelevant nationally.
Apart from that, great post

I must admit I do often skip past his political drivel. Does he still maintain he is NOT a Conservative?

Decent tories... is that an oxymoron?

I've said in other threads that some of my family are very old-school, long-standing Conservatives (of the more moderate kind) and they wouldn't touch this lot with a barge-pole. I think they're of the view that since Hague the party hasn't really stuck to any Conservative principles but Cameron onwards has been particularly bleak and they've not even been able to hold their nose and still vote Tory. Have to hope enough other more moderate/centrist Tories feel the same to change the direction, but doesn't look good.
No. There are some.
The 'tory scum' trope is not appropriate and is part of the reason labour STILL don't have enough support to dislodge this crime gang.
Floating voters win elections and suggesting that anyone who has voted in the past for the tories is, by definition, not decent is what labour used to call 'no compromise with the electorate'.
I want change, and saying 'yah boo' to former tory voters (and we are all former voters till the next time we vote) should not be part of the campaign.
