He's resigned I've never been in a by-election before, going to be fun! Tories protecting a 24,000 majority so they're not going to lose the seat, but hopefully a dent can be put in it! In his favour, at least he's been totally honest about it (although the "website with a similar name to one about tractors" is a stretch), many could learn lessons from that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61284686 Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Trying to take credit for finally doing what opposition parties have been urging them to do for months, though it's not a "windfall tax," it's an “energy profits levy" (in the same way the Russian invasion is a "special military operation" rather than an invasion). And it comes the day after the Gray report, timing of no coincidence at all. Johnson looks like an old, beaten man; really coming round to the wish that he stays on because he'll be unelectable by 2024. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-61593384 Romey 1878 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Rishi Sunak, who is deciding the help for those in need, will also be getting the £400 energy discount, while stuggling by with just £730m in the bank. And people with second homes will get the discount on both. Parallel universe times. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-61606486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be because Labour know they have little chance and don’t wish to divide the vote against the Tories which could help them secure the seat, well I hope that’s the case a win for the LibDems would be a win for all non Tories.

Constituents vote for an MP to represent them, those with a Tory MP are hamstrung by Tory party rules (even though many publicly say what they've done) when challenges happen. Nadine Dorries today (how in the world is this woman in a position of power?) saying the Tory party shouldn't overturn the views of 14m voters; none of those people (Uxbridge aside) voted for the PM, they voted for their local MP. That's the system, flawed as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
