At this point they're so divided they may as well start a new political party. Think that's a great idea personally. Split the Tory votes and relegate them to obscurity forever.

News also say that Sunak blocked Samuel Kasumu from running for mayor of London, who was backed by Boris, Patel and some others.

Not a fan of Kasumu really, but is he really worse than Susan Hall, who somehow keeps failing upwards?

Kasumu also alleges that Paul Scully is also behind him not being longlisted.

They should declare themselves as an independent party. Nay; an Independence party. For the UK. A UK Independence Party. They could shorten it to "Tory Cnuts".

Considering the damage Johnson has done to the UK, getting rid of him for Covid piss ups feels like getting the Yorkshire Ripper for fake licence plates

Except that’s not what’s got him.

Out as PM - because hundreds of MPs and staffers quit after he lied about knowing about Chris Pincher’s reputation as a sexual predator.

Out as MP - because he’s a coward who jumped before facing a by-election for knowingly misleading Parliament.

Would be interesting to find out what the complaint is, but as someone who's lived in Enfield, if you see what the Tories place as candidates (gems like Ediz Mevlit and Margarget Brady, 100% nuts and vehement all the time), Bambos looks normal in comparison.
Rare to find another one. I was born in Enfield. No longer live there though as it’s a shithole.

From Popb!tch last week:

Newsrooms all around Fleet Street have been abuzz with a story this week about an amusing last minute deadline panic at the Daily Mail.

Late last week, Mail editor Ted Verity came into possession of a bombshell photo showing Boris Johnson, his mother, his sister and little baby Wilf out in the open air at No.10. The Mail wrote up a big front page story about how the photo was PROOF that Boris had done no wrong and that the police are conducting a baseless witch hunt against him.

It was all laid out, ready to go to press, when one of the hacks looking over it piped up to ask if the four of them shouldn’t have been much further apart – given that social distancing rules were in place at the time. Sure enough, the picture they were about to splash across their front page not only proved that Boris Johnson broke the rules he put in place, but that he still doesn’t understand them now.

Because the super secret source of the photo, who thought its publication would fully exonerate Boris, was… Boris.

Call that fighting.
Honestly I despair at the self centered all about me and fxxk the rest of you politics.
While we are all struggling, Boris and the rest of his support are only interested in whether they are going to get an honour. An honour for doing what exactly. No wonder the country is in such a state.

In the vast majority of public sector jobs you would get canned immediately if you used your position to get your friends and family jobs. Parliament is an absolute racket of people doling out public money to their partners, siblings and kids but this is another level altogether.

Ex school teacher, actual moron and MP since 2019 Jonathon Gullis is now worth £3-5m apparently.
