By-Election Bingo

Recommended Posts

An excellent analysis i'll grant you but it's still a bit of a Kismet theory. The whole purpose of the fixed term Parliament which the Tories supported was to mitigate against political opportunism.May has gone past the 'I'm a new leader so we should have an election' phase. She has to wait. Even if JC snuffs it the Labour Party rules will ensure another Corbynista get in.

 

 

I'm not convinced she'll have to wait. Brexit has thrown all the rules out of the window, and the mainstream press desperately want Brexit (see today's front pages for proof) - if they think May will have a better chance of achieving it after an early election then you can guarantee the Mail and the Express and the Murdoch Press will all be in full support of the Prime Minister's 'brave decision' to gain a mandate to force through Brexit. I also share the cautionary tale about the perils of ignoring an early election, although right now I see no way she doesn't win in 2020 anyway.

 

On the original point, this Stephen Phillips seems a decent chap on the whole, y'know, despite being a Leaver and a Tory and all that...

He is not one who has been selected for this game but if any more follow suit I think we could be on course for an early election.

 

Which might mean Rover gets a victory.

 

Next time everyone will get 50 picks.

 

I'm Rover and Out and I approve this message.

Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

 

 

Leave my dead pool failures out of this, thanks

Keith Vaz in the news for the wrong reasons again.

 

 

On my team!

He's put in an expenses claim for a train ticket between Leicester and London whilst he was 1,400 miles away in Tunisia.

Vaz is a member of the Parliamentary Justice Committee. Let's just say he brings a wealth of experience.

Aye, all the sanctimonious twats are really devious bastards

 

Gotta love the guy - or at least I will when he's deselected gifting Jezza a by-election he definitely doesn't want in racial division land.

Goldsmith will be only worth 5 points initially. if he loses the by-election you get the other 5 but if he wins he stays in play.

Points! 5 more points if you please! :Dhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38178486

I will add the additional points probably on Monday. Just about to take an IS0 9001 auditing exam.

First point of call is that it's an "ISO 9001" exam, not an "IS0 9000".

Yes it was an exam to become a qualified ISO 9001:2015 auditor.

Coca-Cola Christmas truck visit to Leicester

 


Last year the truck caused controversy in Leicestershire after MP Keith Vaz objected to the Coca-Cola truck coming to Highcross Leicester. Sugary drinks can be a cause of diabetes. Mr Vaz has the disease and also has a charity, Silver Star, which aims to combat diabetes and its causes.

 

Some wag has commented:

 

Will Keith Vaz be attending this year? Oooops wrong type of coke!

Keith Vaz will not face charges after police investigation following newspaper sting

A separate investigation against Mr Vaz was launched by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner following a complaint also made by Mr Bridgen.

That was suspended pending the outcome of the Met Probe but can now proceed.

On the other hand you'd be summat of an idiot if you held your breath until he returned to a high profile committee role, or similar

I mean, it's 20k a by-election, but that's still a saving compared to paying Jamie Reed.

BBC call it a "safe Labour seat". How is a 2000 majority a "safe seat"?
