Funny there's a fella of similar name to that saying in Smallville, he can twist reality, so he'd probably fit right in with reform uk and their fans

I not playing any games, just proffering a possible logical explanation which may not even be correct, so make whatever connection to whatever to arrive at something you don't like you want

Reform MP refuses to vacate constituency office after defecting

A former Conservative MP is locked in a battle with his old party over the use of his constituency office.

Andrew Rosindell, who defected to Reform UK last month, is in dispute with the Tories over the use of Margaret Thatcher House, his office in his Romford constituency. The property is owned in trust by the Conservatives but Rosindell is refusing to vacate, Politico reported.

Rosindell, who was a shadow Foreign Office minister under Kemi Badenoch, announced his defection days after Robert Jenrick abandoned the Tories. Jenrick was sacked by Badenoch after she learnt of his plans to defect.

Rosindell announced his defection on X and said that the main reason for his departure was his opposition to the handover of sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.

The Romford Conservative Association has been put into special measures after Rosindell’s defection was followed by a number of local councillors. The measures are to ensure “good governance and protect party assets”, Conservative Campaign Headquarters said.

It added: “As the property is held in trust for the Conservative Party and its members, the association is currently seeking clarification from Mr Rosindell for the legal basis on which he continues to occupy Margaret Thatcher House. This is a procedural matter concerning property governance, and we will not comment further while correspondence is ongoing.”

It is understood that the dispute centres on the terms of the rental agreement given that the property is his constituency office as an MP. The property, on Western Road, is a local hub for Conservative party operations and constituent services in the Havering area. It has previously had union flags, the St George’s Cross and blue posters for Rosindell outside it

The first comment from a Times reader was amusing (imho)…

An MP has lost a High Court bid to be let back into his old constituency office after being locked out following his defection from the Conservatives to Reform UK.

Andrew Rosindell, who has represented Romford in east London since 2001, defected in January and was later locked out of the constituency office he had occupied at Margaret Thatcher House.

The MP began legal proceedings against the Romford Conservative Association (RCA), which runs the building, with his lawyers telling a hearing it had "taken the law into its own hands".

The RCA opposed the bid, with its barristers stating it was "blindingly obvious" that Rosindell's licence to use the premises only applied when he was a Tory.

The MP argued on Monday that he should be granted an injunction allowing him "full and unfettered" access but the RCA said allowing continued access would have meant he could "spy" on its activities in the run-up to the local elections.

In a ruling, Mr Justice Choudhury refused the injunction bid, stating Mr Rosindell's case was "intrinsically weak" and that he "ought to have realised that he had surrendered his right to occupy" his office.

He said: "It would have been obvious to him from the moment of defecting that continued occupation would be unsustainable."
Apparently "Leave means Leave"… :D

Nice reader comment. One of those that demands a ‘this wins today’s internet’ reply.

"Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration."

Didn't she turn out to be a security concern while in power under the conservatives. That and she or her parents were immigrants. She might as well have come on a dinghy.

Braverman was trying to change things from within the party but failed. That’s why she went over to Reform and it’s why they accepted her.
