Anas Sarwar  is a massive improvement on Richard Leonard in my opinion. 

 

An urn with the ashes of former Crumble alumni Clarissa Eden in it has more political acumen and know how in 2022 than Richard Leonard.

 

As does a sock puppet.

There's so much standard news coverage on the porn-watching Tory I can't easily find a reliable online rumour mill naming him. Any, like, informed speculation available hereabouts? I'm assuming a fight to hold his seat and that his existing majority might well be big consideration at central office, and in Lib Dem minds!

I’ve asked a few Tory MPs I know. They have no idea who it is and have been trying to find out themselves.

 

I don’t see this as resignation territory as it’s hard to prove.

Hmmm

 

More than one witness, they know who he is and doubtless the name is already circulating. Johnson's reign of sleaze, lies and misconduct is earning itself a reputation as an era akin to Major's sleaze ridden, backhander loving epoch. 

 

Even a tory-loving shit-rag is on this as front page fodder. I'm thinking someone will name him, and like a certain ex-member of the territorial army the man's subsequent parliamentary career will be a pale shadow of owt that preceded it. The question pertinent to this thread is whether we're looking at a seat so safe it'd survive deselection and return another tory within the present parliament.

Tory MP Jamie Wallis, who recently made headlines for coming out as trans, has now been charged with failing to stop after an accident. If he is found guilty he could get a custodial sentence (max 6 months) that would trigger a recall petition:

Margin of 2.8%, majority of 1,157 as of December 2019 - that seat's toast if it all goes to shit under police investigation.

Liam Byrne is to be suspended from the commons

 

MP Liam Byrne to be suspended from Commons for bullying former employee - BBC News

 

Now if he was planning to step down at the next election he could cause a lot of mischief by resigning and saying that his behaviour was below that it should have been and he accepts full responsibility for his actions

 

Just to contrast.......

He should have left Parliament long ago after leaving that stupid note in the Treasury at the end of the 2010 election: 'Sorry, there's no money left'. Absolute open goal and the Tories haven't shut up about it for the decade since.

Obligatory defence of someone I'm not keen on. That note was a running joke between changes of government going back to ww2 at least. He would have had no idea Cameron would use a friendly tradition as attack fodder.

A fair point and maybe a suitable bit of karma the other way would involve random hoodie wearers these days approaching Cameron now he lacks PM security and, like, hugging him hard!

Neil Parish has just had the Tory whip removed and is being investigated for watching porn in the Commons, so this could well be individual speculated.

 

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61276319

 

If he does stand down it's a safe seat (Tiverton and Honiton) with 60% in the 2019 election.

Quick before they change his wikipedia page back again;

"Parish is married to Susan, has two children and two grandchildren, and a Platinum+ Brazzers Membership.[19]"

Yeah, "safe" - or "seismic" if all the opposition get tactical and the tories thereabouts get cynical. Still a big ask. If 9,000 Lib Dems held their noses and voted Labour and a load of disgruntled Conservatives failed to show it'd make a massive impact. Seriously, if they lost this one that'd probably do more damage to Bojo than Partygate ever could. 

 

I heard a rumour that one of the porn actresses he was ogling has commented that she feels sullied being associated with British parliamentary politics.

Opened the porn by mistake, apparently. Then again, the enquiry will likely explore by talking to the other witnesses how long he kept on making the mistake and whether those two women who saw him both clocked him at the same time.

Tory wanker (sorry, I’ll narrow it down; Neil Parish) looks like he’s about to quit as an MP, which would mean a by-election for Tiverton and Honiton.

Porno Parish expected to quit within hours. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61284686

 

So, we have a by-election in a very safe seat on our hands. 

 

Speaking of hands and what you do with them - a Guardian wag this morning suggested Kier Starmer should get his party campaigning on the slogan Labour isn't Wanking!

Aye, we've had a chat earlier in this thread - basically if they lose after Parish's antics they're spaffing (heh heh) a seat where they polled over 60% of the votes in 2019 and Parish had performed at that leve through two previous general elections. Over a decade back it was safe tory with thinner margins, them polling 50% ish with the Lib Dems second. Labour have been runners up last two times, UKIP stormed to second in 2015. So, if the place was going to oust the Conservatives there's an almightly problem. Lib Dems and Labour might both see themselves as the obvious party to take it, so next to no chance they'll have a pact. Labour are clear second last two times, Lib Dems can legitimately argue they're better placed to take Conservative votes. It'll be interesting. 

 

Meanwhile, let us take our final chance to feast our eyes upon this cheesy presentation of a genial family man caring ably for his constituents - https://www.neilparish.co.uk/

At this rate we'll have had a de facto General Election by way of every seat being contested in a by-election.
