The Tories Now

Yes, he will stand for Reform UK at the general election where he will either lose his seat or retain it with an increased majority. Let his constituents decide, hopefully it will be the latter, time will tell.

Do love someone with a sense of humour.

Be interesting to see if Lee Anderson gets the required number of signatories against him for a recall election, they need 10% but have six weeks to do it.

So a looming election might help him.

He should stand up and call a by-election.

He should show some character and put his head up.

He does apparently have a lot of local support so maybe it's time to see Lee.


Ashfield, then, has an established independent streak. Its aversion to party politics was evident in last year’s council elections, too, when most of England saw substantial swings to Labour in battleground seats. Ashfield, however, elected one Labour councillor (down from three), two Conservatives… and 32 Ashfield Independents.


Could be interesting for us non-tribals.

He wants / needs the publicity for his ailing TV career once he's gone from Parliament he's just another shouty nobody. The £2k a week plus expenses may also have had an influence on his change of mind over facing the electorate plus the redundancy payment if not re-elected.

"His television career"....

Sadly he and the rest of them have installed themselves on the Titanic of the TV world.

In the meantime, on the Brexit front, hard to believe, but worse is yet to come..

Scrote Benton resigns from Parliament yesterday to trigger another bye election, today 2 ministers resign there may yet be a job for Dumbo Damian before the Torytanic sinks.

He resigned after he had been told his constituents, who already were unhappy, were going to vote decisively for his recall.

One of Johnson's 2019 lobby fodder. Like the hideous one in Stoke.

It's not quite April Fools Day, so why did the Tories go early with the appointment of Jonathan Gullis as Vice Chairman?

The most recent polling data indicates that more adults in the UK favor rejoining the European Union compared to those who believe the country should stay out. Here are the key findings:

45% of the electorate supports rejoining the EU, while 40% believe the UK should stay out, and 14% remain undecided.
The call for re-entry is strongest among 18-24 year-olds, with 62% in favor of rejoining and only 15% against. This generational divide persists, with support gradually declining among older age groups.
57% of voters attribute high inflation in the UK to Brexit, with 30% saying it’s to a “great extent” and 27% to some extent.
Other polls also show a trend toward rejoining the EU. For instance, a Deltapoll survey last month revealed 47% of adults would choose to rejoin, while 37% would stay out.
Public opinion has shifted over time, with a growing majority expressing “Bregret” and reconsidering the decision made in the 2016 referendum1.
In summary, the desire to rejoin the EU appears to be gaining momentum, driven by economic concerns and a reassessment of the initial Brexit decision. ????
