Potential Mid Bedfordshire by-election, 2023

Two berths as an MP is a pretty trivial undertaking for a geezer who already rules the whole of India.

Is this: “Prince Ankit Love, Emperor of India” or “Prince Ankit, Love-Emperor of India”? We need to be told!

He's a regular self promotor.

I saw him in Balham marching down the street at the head of a parade when he stood in the 2016 by election. He wasn't a prince emperor then!

Wow

 

[Storm Fox]

I guess the Tory response to this will be, 'The people don't like us, let's be even more right-wing.'

Yep and Starmer's response to this will be "The people like us, let's be even more right-wing".

Clearly no point voting tory without the saintly Nadine on the ballot paper.

Surely, Festus Akinbusoye has only been selected as the Conservative Party candidate rather than having been selected as "the next MP for Mid-Bedfordshire" - unless Ms Dorries knows something that everyone else does not. Surely it is the constituents who select who becomes the MP?
