Enjoy the implication that they've been squeaky clean from the expenses scandal up until this very specific incident

Tory MPs must be spitting nails about being made to vote for this before doing an immediate u-turn the next day. gently caress em obviously, but worth noting on the basis that they're the only actual threat to the government.

Well, explicitly open corruption, people don't really care about the general undercurrent if it Also safe seats are often safe seats because they don't get any campaigning resource from the other parties In by-elections with reduced turnout and greater focus from the other parties they can get a lot wobblier. serious gaylord posted:Patterson is done. How much of this was him coming out swinging last night calling the report a fabrication and for the committee to resign. What a loving idiot.

lol the Beeb spoke to Peter Bone who voted to save Patterson and they opened the interview with how violent thugs vandalised his office (by writing "tory sleeze" over the front of it) and how it reminds him of how they sent "a picture of my son being executed" before finally moving on to his vote and why he did it after the sympathy barrel had been thoroughly filled.

So they just thought the media and electorate were going to handwave away flagrant and blatant corruption. Then shat themselves when The Mail called them out on it? They’re really that loving stupid?

Almost 24 hours after the first one, I've just got an email from Labour to my party membership address, so yeah it looks like it's much bigger than affiliates. Twitter complaints seem to suggest the emails are being sent in date order which would make sense as I was an affiliate for like 10 years before joining. The tie breaker is whether or not my burner address gets one too. If not it suggests the partner that got popped was either one of the campaigns or possibly ERS themselves who run the elections, if it does then Labour have their entire contact database to a third party for some reason. Anything other than it being ERS means the party are likely to be turbo hosed, but not to the millions of pounds fine level that done are suggesting. Oh gently caress... what if it was Corbyn's leadership campaign?

I can't be arsed to look up the Commons rules - did they have to hold a vote on suspending him? Could BoJo just quietly do it without all the pomp and circumstance that the Mail can splash across the front pages? The only thing the Tories have to do to be the ruling party forever is avoid getting caught up in controversy after controversy that makes the general public turn towards the opposition. If there was any opposition to actually capitalise on it.

Just unprecedented levels of normality going on at Canary Wharf today - a military band playing what I *think* was Somewhere Out There while an unearthly siren blared from one of the buildings and the demolition works on the Reuters building provided a Rammstein-esque backbeat. I got video but unfortunately the wind noise completely blotted it out, but it genuinely was one of the most disorienting and disconcerting scenes I've ever walked through.

At some point there was a team (probably assisted by a 'script' though I know manual effort was also involved so it might even have been on someone's home pc) feverishly searching twitter and facebook by email addresses used by party members to see if any Corbyn supporters said fk the foofighters or whatever so they could suspend them. I don't know if they were searching every member and maybe finding posts satisfying {pro-Corbyn} AND {swear word} or had somehow just got a list relating to members who supported Corbyn.

So it's unlikely to be the leadership campaign because they didn't support him. The leadership and NEC campaigns get access to a list of every eligible voter, IIRC. Certainly I've got an email to my union address from my pre-membership days from Corbyn asking for me to vote for him, and emails to both addresses for the chicken coup leadership election.

An ex-friend of mine always used to say that he found it really weird that every time someone talks or writes about Dave Grohl his name is always appended with "he's such a nice guy!" "nicest guy in rock!" etc., etc., and that the sheer consistency of it is really sus, he took that as reason enough to prophylactically despise him, and his band So I dunno, maybe gently caress the foo fighters their music sucks poo poo now, that's for definite
