Looks as if the Nat C Party may be going to be an actual thing.

Hopefully all this stupidity that is happening in the Cuntservative will be a final message to Corbynista’s that it’s the whole party not one man

He told the commission he did “not understand why British passport holders should be treated differently from foreign passport holders when it comes to political parties” and requested a meeting at the House of Commons with the watchdog’s chief executive
Oh, I don't know. Security, vetting, transparency, etc?

And Dan, on the passports think, shut the fuck up.

Given how many people are supposed to be descended from Genghis Khan, maybe they're related?

The old (inaccurate) saying about political alignment isn't a guide to ancestry. (See Toby Young).

Hopefully someone will persuade them to slightly rebrand to the Conservative and Unionist National Team ;)

Last night another Tory...*

Telford MP Lucy Allan is to stand down at the next election.

The 58-year-old Conservative said it had been an "immense privilege to serve such an incredible town".

Confirming she would not be seeking re-election, Ms Allan said she would continue to serve the community to the best of her ability for the remainder of Parliament.

Ms Allan was adopted as the Telford Conservative candidate in 2013 and elected in 2015.

She was the first Conservative as well as the first female MP to represent the Shropshire constituency...

During Covid we tracked excess deaths.

Now there's an epidemic of excess resignations.
