Booster,waffle,waffle,booster,wait for enquiry,waffle, wait for enquiry.

No random Latin as of yet

Christian Wakeford . . . just had a look at his wiki page, seems just as corrupt and useless as most. Probably won't win the next local election anyway if standing for Labour, no harm done.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

He won by 402 votes ahead of Labour, so it'll certainly be an interesting vote next time

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

I think back stabbing traitors are best out of the party so as you say no harm done 1/10 for effort.

Then he should do the honourable thing and hold a by-election.

Indeed he hasn't landed anything, Johnson has just batted everything away. Starmer looked quite desperate at the end and had a question struck off .

Can't argue with him...

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Starmer also broke the rules, I think his excuse it was a work meeting, is rather pathetic - they both broke the rules - but what was really striking with PMQs not one question on the impending threat from Russia invading Ukraine.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

I felt it was the right tone but Johnson did better than I expected. The big punches are being landed by Johnson's own side.

Starmer doubtless knew the Royal family question would be struck off. He understood he would achieve his key objective of reminding Johnson's MPs and the public of that terrible image of No. 10 partying with a DJ into the wee hours, whilst the Queen was preparing to bury her husband of 73 years where she sat alone without her family to comfort her.

Largely an issue Labour and the Tories will agree on. If anything develops there will be a statement to the house and the chance for a proper debate focused on it.

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

I remember you being equally outraged when Reckless and Carswell defected from the Tories.

Oh, wait….

Re: All those No.10 lockdown parties
 

Unless Labour does worse than 2019, which is unlikely at the moment, he probably would have lost his seat given the wafer-thin majority.

Not talking about this current surge of polling for Labour, which will drop at some point, either but for a long time now Labour have been outperforming their polling in the seats lost in 2019 so Bury South would have been one of the top targets.

In fact just looked it up. It would be 3rd on their list: http://www.electionpolling.co.uk/bat...targets/labour

So if you take the national swing only then Labour would (in theory) capture Bury South with a 3 seat gain.
