Lying Tory twat Lee Anderson fails miserably to spread fake news with backfiring interview

[moochedit]

She's a former Brexit Party MEP, former GB News presenter, now on TalkTV.

Which tells you everything you need to know about her!

 

[moochedit]

I'm given to understand that this is a UKIP/whatever-the-fuck-these-creeps-are-called-this-week person, possibly not kept in the loop by the Great Leader...

Looks like she is Reform party (was brexit party). Ukip is another party that is still going with about 10 remaining members.

I quite like the suggestion that that sack of cats in clown costumes are somehow about 'discipline.'

That feels like the 'quiet part out loud' translation of quite a few MP apologies, funnily enough.

 

[PR1Berske]

Is that what Tice has said?

Tice claimed they are talking to Labour MPs, about joining Reform.

I call bullshit to both.

I visit a messageboard/forum that is mostly politics and current affairs. On their Defections thread (no, honestly) the following was written in December 2012, The Daily Telegraph reported that eight Tory MPs were about to jump ship to the then nascent UKIP. No such thing happened.

The occasional exception and crank will always make the move. Bullshit often follows.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I can't see any sort of mass exodus because for all the noise and for all the Tories are a mess, the various UKIP/REFUK etc etc parties have generally failed to get anyone elected haven't they. Even now your chances are pretty obviously better with the Tories than Refuk. So what's the point - there's only so much space on GBNews and once that's all gone why bother.

 

[BusLanes]

The Tories actually have a huge campaign team and loads of cash. Reform might have money but hasn't really shown any great chops at campaigning

This post doesn't read how I thought I'd typed it. Quick note, I had a 90 minute eye appointment from half 8 this morning and I'm still finding things a bit fuzzy!

So, next election, Ashfield will be Lab or Reflux as winners, Tory distant 3rd?

well, really "unexpected" [not]

Lee Anderson: Ex-Tory MP defects to Reform UK

The former Tory Party Vice-Chairman Mr Anderson was suspended after he said Islamists had "control" of Sadiq Khan.

I do hope that they'll be very happy together - and his constituents fling him out on his ear, either asap via a recall petition, or at the upcoming GE

tbh, if an MP has had the whip removed and/or defects rather than sit as an independent, then a recall petition should be automatically triggered.

There will be no recall petition, conditions have not been met.

MPs can be recalled under three circumstances:

• Conviction in the UK of any offence and sentenced or ordered to be imprisoned or detained, after all appeals have been exhausted. Note – a sentence over 12 months in jail automatically disqualifies someone from being an MP;
• Suspension from the House following report and recommended sanction from the Committee on Standards for a specified period (at least 10 sitting days, or at least 14 days if sitting days are not specified);
• Convicted of an offence under section 10 of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009 (making false or misleading Parliamentary allowances claims). Note – the sentence does not have to be custodial for this condition.

There is also an independent who came 2nd so Tories a distant 4th

“I want my country back” is the sort of thing total pricks say.

Who from? Where did it go? When did you last see it? Have you tried retracing your steps?

Yeah, I know ...

I just wish that defections would automatically result in a recall petition / by-election.

Yeah, the Ashfield Independents guy could win, they have control of the council with, IIRC, 32 out of 35 seats.

It’s probably bollocks, but when the Tories lose a huge proportion of their councillors in May, their MPs could make a lot of surprising individual and collective decisions.

That is true but it does fall into the trap of thinking of them as a traditional political party, which they emphatically are not. What they are - and UKIP and the BP were - is a means by which the wider Tory Party can be captured, by threatening the loss of enough of their core vote to make it impossible for them to win elections.

Properly busking it now... "When I was on my grandfather's knee, he said to me, 'Dickie m'boy, there's something you need to know about the world...'"

Whoever would have thought that after police shootings, wrongfully convicted people, murders and rapes carried out by police officers and various other scandals it would be policing a series of marches proportionately and lawfully that would push most of the right wing over the edge.

Things like claiming for duck houses and moat cleaning then.

Oh indeed, it has been very effective in that regard.

press conference is hilarious. what a sad insecure little man he is, hiding behind his ill positioned flag.

Don't think they've stopped tv broadcasting yet but they move "online only" soon.

It was always basically TalkRadio, available on DAB nationwide, with just a few hours of 'made of TV' programmes in the evenings Mon-Fri, the rest of it was just the radio station's output with a camera in the studio.

The radio station will continue, with the video output online, they are just removing 'TalkTV' from the main broadcast platforms like Freeview, Sky, Virgin and Feesat.

Logically they would go back to calling it TalkRadio instead of TalkTV, or just re-brand as TalkUK, the TalkTV branding to include the long established radio station was always weird TBH.
