msc 18,434 Posted October 25, 2017 If Aiden Burley, Simon Danczuk and Mark Oaten didn't quit... Not even losing the whip hastens it, see that Nadine Dorries. Or countless others. If there's a hit soon, it'll be by-election via death. Ken Clarke has the sozzled look about him nowadays, a rapid downhill decline for him at any time wouldn't surprise me at all. Mind you, in 2015 would have said David "might be a ghost but he's not in parliament anymore" Winnick was a favourite for that, and certainly not Michael "arranging conference talks 6 days before he died" Meacher.

Deathray 2,940 Posted October 29, 2017 We've got another one to the list of if they gave a shit he'd be a by-election with Stephen "I've probably got" Crabbs. Allegations he sexted a 19 year old who applied to work for him, and asked her to perform fellation. So so far this term that's Anne Marie Morris, Naz Shah, Jared O'Mara, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Stephen Crabbs for a total of 5 should have been by-elections. That's before we see how they handle the massive brewing sexual assault allegations https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/4776319/pervert-politicians-mps-outed-in-secret-westminster-womens-whatsapp/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,434 Posted November 2, 2017 Kelvin Hopkins suspended from Labour. "For alllegations", soon to leak in the Telegraph by sounds of it. Given some of his own colleagues are already throwing him under the bus, this one might have legs. Not on my bloody team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,434 Posted January 15, 2018 Wake up, there's going to be an actual by-election. However, it's for West Tyrone, which seemingly no one picked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazed no-one had him given his history of being a knobhead. Sinn Fein MP though so no change to the overall parliament unless the DUP perform a miracle.

Might be able to squeeze a decent game out - David Butler says 8 months tops this parliament should last, and the 1974 parliament still managed to squeeze in a by-election. We're getting perilously close to how long David Butler thought this parliament could last now, and he's a man I listen to! March general election? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

March general election? Correct me if I'm wrong but that was before the DUP/Tory alliance was made official? iirc he did make mention to the Lib/Lab pact as an outlier, though this one is more of an outlier: 2 parties united by their hatred of Jeremy corbyn!

March general election? No. May's weakness is her strength. The necessity to commit to the Brexit process and see the negotiations finalised will keep the Government together. MPs will refrain from stabbing her until at least late 2019. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,569 Posted April 17, 2018 The West Tyrone By-election is on 03rd May. The likely to win Sinn Fein candidate is Orfhlaith Begley. Not sure how that is pronounced Orla? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
