Raynor was found to have breached the ministerial code. So she resigned (wasn't "hounded" because Starmer instigated the investigation.

Farage gets as much attention as Raynor, but there's nothing to pin on him that would merit resignation. Maybe even "yet".

"If he calls a by-election then that's fine. If not, he is the Dishonourable Member for Bury South."

Funny how he's changed his tune now that Conservatives are defecting to Reform! The challenger party is now just looking the same as the incumbent parties.

This happens every single time that an MP jumps ship and joins another party. Everyone demands that he or she resigns their seat, well everyone except the party that they have joined. Highly hypocritical as they all do it, until it happens to suit them.

And in a way, that’s fine, remember we don’t (technically) vote for a party, we vote for an individual to represent us in Parliament. At most they would have five years to ‘come good’ or be kicked out.

Of course he could resign his seat; but he was elected by the good people of Clacton to represent them. And I think it only fair that they see and hopefully take on board his behaviour, and decide at the next election if the really is the best person to have their interests at heart!

* I am being sarcastic. I do sometimes feel the need to mention this, just in case the nuance gets lost.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Why should Farage resign his seat? What has he done so wrong?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Farage fence-sitting, trying not to upset Trump….

Nigel Farage stated the world would be a “better, more secure place” if America took over Greenland in a speech at World Economic Forum in Davos.

The Reform UK leader, however, disagreed with the idea based on his belief in national self-determination.

So, in summary, he thinks it’s a good idea, but doesn’t agree with it… :confused:

It has been accepted that this was just an administrative error by a staffer who didn’t put through in time. There was no intention to deceive. Farage’s party will not receive a penalty.

It’s a good idea, but Trump has gone about it the wrong way.

Not sure what the Reform Candidate for London Mayor’s message is here - is it

a) I’m following in Trump’s footsteps

b) A vote for me is a vote for Nuclear Winter

c) If you vote for me, I’ll give London mountains

d) When it snows, I'm going to kidnap a penguin from London Zoo

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

To me, that shows an idiot who thinks making a silly image will appeal to the masses . . . and the message is "look at me, aren't I clever" :rolleyes:
