As the saying goes "be careful what you wish for".

Whoever eventually replaces them may not be any better.

Not a great selling point, anybody else must be worse...

We might as well do away with elections altogether. The Gov probably know what best for t̶h̶e̶m̶ us

Ex-Tory MP Andrew Bridgen sues Matt Hancock over COVID vaccine row after joining Laurence Fox's Reclaim Party

Matt Hancock accused Andrew Bridgen of being antisemitic after the MP likened the COVID vaccine to the Holocaust, which got Mr Bridgen suspended and then permanently expelled from the Conservative Party.

Mr Bridgen was expelled from the Conservative Party in April after claiming in January the COVID-19 vaccine was "the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust".

Former health secretary Mr Hancock, who remains suspended from the Tories for appearing on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, condemned Mr Bridgen's comments as "antisemitic" at the time.

Mr Bridgen announced on Wednesday he has now submitted a defamation claim to the High Court as he said Mr Hancock's comments were an attempt to "shut down valid concerns expressed by me".

He has launched a crowdfunding appeal for his legal action and said any excess funds will be donated to charities "supporting the COVID-injured and COVID-bereaved".

Mr Hancock has denied the allegations and called Mr Bridgen's legal action a "pathetic publicity stunt".

I think mankind would still be living in caves if we followed that philosophy. :D

“esse cautus quid tu cupio enim”. Should put it on the union flag as the country gets poorer to remind people it could be worse.

(With apologies to any Latin speakers among us).

Kemi Badenoch says Brexiteer MPs are all talk in row over EU laws
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/1...c934387343eb03

Quote:

Kemi Badenoch has accused Conservative Brexiteers of “talking not doing” as she robustly defended plans to scale back the government’s bonfire of Brussels rules and regulations.

In a forthright attack on Eurosceptic MPs, including her predecessor Jacob Rees-Mogg, the business secretary told TalkTV that while they were good at making “a lot of noise” they were “not the ones who have to do the doing”…

… Badenoch revealed that she had challenged Tory Brexiteers in a private meeting to tell her which laws they wanted to be scrapped and they had not given her a convincing answer.

“I asked MPs who had been in that meeting what they wanted to remove, and they couldn’t say anything,” she said. “I think that is more illustrative of the problem we have — that there are too many people who spend a lot of time talking. I need to do the thinking and the doing.”

I agree. There was no need for her arrogance.

To be fair, if I lived in Wokingham I'd vote for them just to keep John Redwood on Twitter. Since following him I find I've started to set my alarm 30 mins earlier than I used to just to give me more time to laugh at his daily doses of utter rubbish.
