In reality he should of been dragged out his office and publicly flayed as a warning.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 29-04-2022, 09:34.

The reason he didn't automatically get the boot is because it's decided on the sentencing and that hasn't happened yet. Below a certain threshold of criminal conviction he can continue in his job (as an independent, which he'd been for some time anyway - his Conservative membership was suspended) but if a certain number of voters sign a recall petition, there's a by-election. If it's above the threshold, automatic by-election. Technically he could have just stayed in the job until the sentencing, but I suspect his family pushed him to get it done.

Some people may have had to wait longer than they believed they would for a £150 energy bills rebate.
Rayner and Starmer in a grey area re having a beer together, still I'm sure in hindsight he'll think it probably wasn't the best thing to do.

Every single one of these schemes since the Covid grants started has been done in a cack-handed way where the government just want something done without speaking to anyone and asking how it might be done in a way that is quick, efficient and cost-effective first.

Neil Parish has told the BBC he is resigning as an MP after admitting he watched pornography twice in the House of Commons.
He said the first time was accidental after looking at tractors, but the second time was deliberate.
Is tractor porn a thing?
