I suspect Galloway‘s leg-humping of Putin won’t be an easy sell to the electorate, fourth is optimistic.

Translation: head office have offered me a peerage if I stand out of the way to let some anodyne centrist gonk in a suit from down south scrape home.

I’m home, living in W Yorks again. Yvette Cooper is my mp, not Khan, but Wakefield is the nearest city and we’re under Wakefield councils jurisdiction.

Since this kicked off, I’m being utterly bombarded online, by ads from The Reclaim Party.

Similar to UKIP bollocks that was targetted at pensioners, but packaged for Yorkshire, mining nostalgia / Gods Own Country .

And oh look they’ve snuk a Yorkshire Rose into the logo.
So I agree with other comments, (especially because of this sort of bullshit) Labour will win but not with a big majority. Sigh.

She's already won the seat 4 times it's potty not trying to persuade her to stand again.

She's a centrist gonk though?

Guardian comment piece. Mainly about the Crispin defence and how little has improved since Saville.

Blunt was condemned by some of the other MPs on the parliamentary group, who resigned in protest at his statement. Where, though, was the statement from the prime minister, condemning Blunt’s words and making clear that it is never, ever acceptable for someone in a position of authority to minimise child sexual abuse? Where was the sanction from the Conservative party? Where is the investigation into why it has no record of the call Khan’s victim made to alert them that he had a decade earlier reported his sexual assault to the police?

That an MP can today engage in paedophile apologia with only the mildest consequences shows how very far Britain still is from learning the lessons of Jimmy Savile.

Wakefield can surely do better than Creagh who never saw a war she didn't like . Time to vote other than Labour though ( and no im not a Tory im a socialist )

Luckily there'll be a man with courage, strength and indefatigablity the good folk of Wakefield can vote for this time and if he doesn't tickle their fancy Inspector Morse's sidekick's sidekick.

Looking forward to seeing how the tory manages to run on an, 'I'm not a nonce' ticket without actually mentioning nonces.

Tory MP convicted of sexual assault ‘bullied staff’ for years

Multiple former members of Imran Ahmad Khan’s staff questioned the Conservative Party’s vetting process for MPs.

Seems like the guy raised more red flags than a soviet military parade but the party did nothing

It's probably not a bad idea from Labour's POV to get Ed Balls - the second most popular political figure in the country, after Kier Starmer (??) - back into parliament.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Ed fucking Balls. Maybe they should just bring David Miliband back from Thunderbirds or wherever he flounced off to.

 

[Elpenor]

Teddy Testicles making a comeback?

 

[Dom Traynor]

It's nearly Ed Balls day so why not?

 

[platinumsage]

Portillo for next Tory leader? Chuka Umunna for next PM?

 

[SpookyFrank]

I only just noticed that Chukka Umunna basically named ChUK after himself.

I've no doubt that the forthcoming by-election will be measured, professional, and focussed on the issues of the day.

Also I'm Commander Qa'aa from the planet Zog and jam is pouring from the walls.

I suspect he'll get some kind of financial package as well, though not as much as if he'd brazened it out to the next election and gone then. The dirty fucking nonce.
