Bibliogryphon 9,386 Posted July 10, 2015 Young Maryport may have a result with his unique pick of Danzcuk, Sun today have the estranged missus bang to rights for cheating on him. Danzcuk was already struggling with the breakdown of the marriage before this onslaught. Is it enough to make him resign his seat. I think Carmichael might be a better bet.

Danzcuk was already struggling with the breakdown of the marriage before this onslaught. Is it enough to make him resign his seat. I think Carmichael might be a better bet. Dunno, in one sense it might strengthen him because his seat is about all he has left, but depression/heavy drinking...he may be one public indescretion away from having to go.

Bibliogryphon 9,386 Posted July 10, 2015 This forum is helping my appreciation of politics. Whenever an MP is interviewed on WATO, PM or Today I try to remember if they are on the list and what I had read about them in compiling the list. I have even started following some of them on Twitter although that does not always show their best side. One, in particular, I am beginning to believe is a bit of a cockwomble.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted July 10, 2015 Great minds think a-like... Only got one unique in my list, that of Patrick McLoughlin. Added up the number of times all the scores of those I've picked and got a provisional score of 191 out of a theoretical sweet spot maximum score of 215. Quite happy with that. Passed on picking Redwood, Vaz, Dodds, Bone, Bellingham and Corbyn from my short list and them being very well more fancied than my final selections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure it mentions in the article that the MP in question was a minister, though I guess that may be the implication of 'senior'. I agree though it's hard to imagine Vaz being involved, but, that said, he does have some interesting whispers online about what he did/didn't know about things back then. And Corbyn seems like a decent, principled man, I'm not sure he'd be brazen enough to try this if he had that kind of skeleton in his closet, even for his political beliefs. Hiding in plain sight ?

I would personally be surprised if it was Jeremy and I doubt we'll see him drop out. Unlikely to be a tactic to get rid of him, John Mann is pretty left wing and would be happier than most Labour MPs if Corbyn won and the Tories would think Christmas had come early if he won as he's totally unelectable - a modern day Michael Foot so there's no incentive to make him lose there either. Oldham West and Royton has a short but common border with the Rochdale seat. Indeed it does, which is why it was the one that jumped out at me when I first compiled the list. But to be fair to Meacher, a quick Google search shows numerous articles on his blog talking about the Cyril Smith case and the wider abuse scandal and it would be huge barefaced cheek to be at the forefront of this while also being implicated, it only exposes you to more scrutiny. Not sure which one jumped out to msc because personally I'm not sure any of them strike me as very likely, but I haven't followed the developing story in great detail but less likely would be Corbyn, Skinner, Kaufman, Meacher and Field from what I vaguely know about them.

Quite disgraceful that MM is still the MP, simply put, after that expose programme 14 years ago, it's just bear faced cheek that he continues to hold the seat without coming clean at the time. If I were him, I would have been apologetic and open, at least about the very number of properties held and being questioned about. We need to have full trust in those who represent us. And to known that they would be willing to answer any allaying questions at any time in maters that could diminish their status and regard to which we rightly hold them. To do otherwise is unfair of them and and we should not tollerate that they can continue to stand on a party ticket to take a seat in the parliament. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
