Political round up.............

First topic message reminder :

The best thing about our system is that every single person in the country gets an equal vote under equal circumstances. Unless a National ID card scheme is introduced this will just alienate poorer voters. Just another way to rig the system.

Labour in difficulty again. Every member of the Executive Committee of Wakefield's Constituency Labour Party has resigned after the national Labour party imposed their own, non-local, candidates on to the shortlist. This is a direct contradiction of what Starmer said should happen if elected leader of the Labour Party.

They really don't help themselves sometimes.

Another Tory MP arrested for a span of sexual offences, including r***, over a seven year timeframe, concluding a two year police investigation.

There are also 56 MPs who have been referred to the ICGS over 70 separate complaints, some concerning sexual misconduct.

What a delightful standard of Parliamentarians we have.

Im no expert so maybe theres information Im not privy to, but surely if one person gets fined for being at an illegal party everyone who was at the party should be fined?

ITVnews have obtained a picture of Johnson drinking during a lockdown party in November 2020. Hard for him to argue that this wasnt a party as its blatantly Frak obvious it was. Theres no doubt now he had to have lied to Parliament.

Also raises further questions about how the Met decided this wasnt a breach of law or worthy of an FPN.

With the Sue Grey report due to be released this week its almost High Noon for ol’ Alexander.

Boris isn't resigning. It's just becomes a question if they get walloped in the Tiverton and Wakefield by-elections - is that enough to focus Tory MP minds? And whether anyone is brave enough to take on the poisoned chalice of the cost of living crisis that is only going to get worse this winter.

It would be objectively funny if Boris was forced out because of the result of votes on June 23rd.
