You currently got a former Labour MP, Claudia Webb, until she had whip removed, who was charged with threatening to throw Acid and received a suspended jail sentence for doing so, sitting as a Independent MP.

Plus Corbyn, who did little to curb Antisemitism in the Labour Party, also sitting as a Independent MP (who has tweeted in last hour he’s lost his latest round of being readmitted to the Labour Party).

i did not say he should resign as MP Mick i was answering Andrews question that is all

yes agree Corbyn did nothing to curb Antisemitism same as Johnson as done nothing to curb islamophobia in the tory party

There is no islamophobia in the Tory Party. But nice try at deflection.

Anti-Muslim sentiment "remains a problem" within the Conservative Party, an independent report has found.

Professor Swaran Singh, a former equality and human rights commissioner, analysed 1,418 complaints relating to 727 separate incidents as recorded in the Tories' complaints database between 2015 and 2020.

Did Tony Blair resign over the cash for honours police investigation? No! And he was interviewed three times over this much more serious alleged offence.

Racism is easy to allege, and many people use the race card unfairly and to their own advantage.

However, the allegation has been made and it is being investigated. Again, let’s see the outcome of that investigation before making comments that we may later regret.

@OB i can't quote you as you're still "composing" but you mention cash for honours, that seems to be an accepted thing now, especially if you have £3 Million spare change.

There is no way that Boris will be prosecuted or fined as it is pretty clear from what we know that there is insufficient evidence to do so, and so this is even better than the Gray report.

:D:D:D

Weren’t you the one who kept saying "don’t pre-judge, wait until all the facts are known"?

Or are you saying you know already what evidence the Met have/are going to gather?

Bit of a difference

The prime minister was not interviewed under caution, and no lawyer was present, which means it is unlikely he will be a suspect if any charges are eventually brought

The only one denying anything is you and Johnson's guilt.

I think he might choose to step down. The real money is on the lecture circuit. Whatever you might think about his honesty and managerial skills, he's one of the UK's finest orators. And he's got a young family, a book to write on Shakespeare and doubtless a few other side hustles. Why bother with being an MP, with what to him is a poor-paying job?

Islamophobia was to the Tories was what anti-Semitism was to Labour. I really had hoped both parties had finally cleaned up their acts but the latest allegations by Nusrat Ghani make uncomfortable reading.

It's hard not to disagree with Old Boy as he holds bewilderingly contradictory positions and you can't agree with all of them at the same time!

Two of them accidentally went to a party, how unlucky is that ? :D

What is unfair is that Boris has had more parties in lockdown than I've had in my lifetime !

Doubt he'll resign as an MP because I believe that'll impact his pension so think he'll step down at the next election unless he's recalled by his constituents.

And for balance you could have mentioned the ex Conservative MP for Wakefield now sitting as an independent while waiting to go on trial accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008.

And this is why I didn’t, he’s not been convicted, innocent until proven guilty, the other two have had investigations in some form and are guilty of the findings they’re accused of.
