Peter Boner, hmm, sorry, Bone denies it. "A Conservative MP is facing a six-week suspension from the House of Commons over allegations of bullying and sexual misconduct against a staff member. A report by parliament's Independent Expert Panel (IEP) found that Peter Bone "trapped" a member of staff in a room where he exposed himself - in what the panel said was a "deliberate and conscious abuse of power". Mr Bone, the MP for Wellingborough, "committed many varied acts of bullying and one act of sexual misconduct" against a member of his staff in 2012 and 2013, the panel said. It recommended that he be suspended from the House of Commons for six weeks - paving the way for another potential by-election and headache for Rishi Sunak. In a statement, Mr Bone, 70, dismissed the IEP report as false and untrue. "As I have maintained throughout these proceedings, none of the misconduct allegations against me ever took place," he said. "They are false and untrue claims. They are without foundation." " There’s a theme with this lot , always the Brexit loons and always say the INDEPENDENT EXPERT PANEL is wrong and they’re completely blameless. There’s still folk on here who buy their shovel loads of bullshit 🇬🇧🙄 x.com/rhodri/status/1111254719777914881?s=61&t=40THHNNCsOVl4Ddwb35AKA

Yep. But my point was and is there seems to be a lot of these Brexit loon MPs who’ve had to leave for various reasons , often sexual harassment etc . Obvs there’s wrong uns on both sides . Pincher , Julian Knight , Rob Roberts , Warburton , Bone , khan , tractor porn Parish , Griffiths , Elphicke, plus an unnamed MP arrested on suspicion of rape . Just seems a lot to me out of a relatively small amount of MPs . Maybe I remember those names because the Tories are in power. Don’t you think it’s a bit odd ?

Tories might well hold onto Mid Beds as neither Libdems or Labour will stand aside for each other. Tamworth I think the Tories are still favs as they had a massive majority. It’ll be interesting when the results come in for sure !

Going to be close, Lib Dems may split the anti-Conservative vote so all permutations are possible. I'll go for Mid Beds Conservative holds due to splitting of the vote and Labour win Tamworth.

It’s all over. Labour are going to win.
Bracing myself as I bend over to get shafted by a long line of unemployed, civil servants and NGOs.
Thankfully the surgery required afterwards will be 5 months and 3 weeks instead of the current 6 month wait. Oh, and I’ll have a team full of humanities graduates recently employed on £60K + pension to provide counselling and gentle voting guidance. At the very least, it’s a set of new jobs dependent on a labour government so it’s votes in the bag, fellas!
As I wince in pain from the final assault, in my tattered poverty ridden clothes I’ll decry “Thank the lord we now have a council library and a youth centre!”
Rest assured you can feel mighty smug when they win, as you know full well they have the “debit” button poised on my pay packet and labours supporters will already by on Amazon spending it! It might be more effective if they just keep their “vote labour” signs in the windows and I’ll withdraw my savings, and my children small savings fund and just knock door to door handing it out!
As Harry Enfield said, L is for Labour. L is for lice. Now with the Labour Lice think tank, committee and anti-Lice task force, which sadly has a telephone line which nobody ever answers and a very curt receptionist who seems to just tap the “Don’t be rude to the lice staff or we will call the police immediately” sign and plays a recorded message about how Lice funding is too low, they are stretched to the limit and you have to call at 6.30AM for an appointment, balancing a ball on your head and humming the national anthem, which was recently changed to “The Internationale”
On a serious note I’d actually appreciate a Blair like new Labour Party as the current government are a mess. I don’t really follow party politics so not sure about the current opposition, except that Keir Starmer reminds me of victor meldrew, he has a weak, whinging voice which grates.
Dianne abbot and that ginger woman I’ve not been impressed.

The onl thing that will prevent a Labour win next year is some unforeseen,shoot in the foot cock up! Labour could shoot themselves in both feet, both knees, the crotch and at least one upper arm and still win the next General Election. What's more interesting is what they are shooting at and whether they hit themselves or not... ...for a simple win, they don't "fire their gun" at all, they just carry on as they are, something between New-Labour-Lite and 'Anyone-But-The-Tories' and win a 75-100 seat majority and risk the Tories regrouping by 2029... ...or they could target the 'Red Wall' and the SNP in Scotland. This is very much risk vs reward as (under the current SNP and Conservative leadership) there are another 50-75 seats up for grabs - it will cost more money, it will mean putting some policies in play Starmer probably doesn't want to, but *if* it works the reward is almost certainly a two-term government... ...I don't think Starmer is much of a gambler, I think he will fire one or two shots and if either backfire he'll settle for the comfortable win over the massive win...

I would agree,Starmer strikes me as never a gambler,I can see the Tories getting wiped completely as folk are sick and tired of this lot
