At the same time you're throwing mud at this guy with no evidence at all, just cause he's a Tory or politician or whatever and they're all the same etc etc

 

His voting record is all the evidence anyone needs. He is trying to wipe his hands of what he helped put in place.

You’ve lost me … he’s got a sh*t voting record , there’s a fair chance he’s doing it for personal gain . Not because of any morals because he’d have left the Tory’s long ago .

His voting record is because he was in Tory party and voted with the party, as most MPs do most of the time. They often will be voting for things they don't necessarily agree with.

Never have I ever seen a 'Labour supporter' defend a Tory and their voting record quite so much.

You ought to check stuff you share then cos you have shared heaps to that effect since I joined a while back................

Anyway, so this Conservative MP who voted for the closures of hospitals, voted for austerity, voted for Liz Truss's budget and so many more is a decent chap then?

Didn't say that, just saying there's no evidence that he's doing this for some personal gain.

I'm revising my opinion about the greens maybe winning in Bristol I've just Heard on the local TV news what their election strategy is.

 

A big dose of antisemitism to get the big Bristol Muslim vote.

Guess they've forgotten about the sizable Jewish population. Much smaller than the Muslims.

But probably more active in spreading the word.

Big week for Rishi, if total disaster in locals then could be moves to kick him out and then he'll start throwing round more threats of a July election. Maybe he'll be ok though, Houchen and Street winning etc.

Heard from a couple people that she isn't going for it this time. I think she'd probs win tho. Would cause total carnage  though.

 

I want an election!

yes but they don't get to pick.

Anyway, it will depend on who stands...she won't win if a decent alternative.

Not quire but they have a lot of power to influence cause Green votes are likely the only way it gets through Parliament.

There is no one decent that could go for it. Jenny Gilruth and Neil Gray are the names banded about. Hardly big players. Total poisoned chalice anyway, whoever it is will last 2 years max anyway

But they can bring down a FM, as shown right now.
