Their 10th safest seat, with a maj of over 9000.

Hmmm...we'll see.

Hancock looks like having the whip withdrawn and suggestions he even may be forced to stand down on the sexual harassment charges (civil case entered today).

Nick Clegg asks Carmichael to convene urgent disciplinary meeting to consider Mike Hancock

This is the same Clegg who flat out refused to deal with and claimed that it had nothing whatsoever to do with the party. He'll now be demanding applause.

I guess he's broken so many promises, done so many twists and turns, that he's lost all touch with reality. Nothing about clegg surprises me now

 

[brogdale]

(The loathsome) Staines is claiming that Clegg's tardy decision to act over Hancock arises from the propect that he, and other former LD leaders, may be called to give evidence in a forthcoming civil case against Hancock.

Cleggocracy in action:

'Money for votes' row as Nick Clegg is accused of funnelling taxpayer funds to key Lib Dem constituencies

Nick Clegg was last night accused of playing ‘pork barrel’ politics by funnelling taxpayer funds into the constituencies of key Lib Dems.
According to claims made by a Coalition whistleblower, Deputy Prime Minister Mr Clegg and his right-hand man, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander, have used their influence over public spending decisions to covertly boost the re-election chances of Lib Dem MPs.

(It's not a TPA story btw - they were just asked to provide comment - and they did exactly what was required)

Have you read his blog post? He's right on the mark. The event was within his ward. He was attending in an official rather than personal capacity. His description of the behaviour of the anti-fascists indicates that they were behaving in a very disrespectful manner - he even accuses one of stealing the flowers.

Now I want to be very clear that I in no way support any sort of hate activities that are associated with any political group, including the EDL, but today I saw absolutely no sign of any EDL banners or clothing and no sign of any stereotypical EDL behaviour. What I saw was a loud and unruly bunch who were showing hate towards what seemed to me to be a peaceful and lawful act of remembrance for a young solider who had lost his life at the hands of two very badly misguided other young men. If I do see any hate activity from ANY group in Oxford I will challenge it rigorously but the only hate I saw today was from the protesters in the picture above.

Being an anti-fascist doesn't excuse cuntish behaviour.

Tell me Quartz, why would you unquestioningly believe what a lib-dem politician says happened actually happened?

 

[frogwoman]

Apparently it's a complete lie.

And no, there was no official event, so he wasn't there in any official capacity. You might as well argue he goes to the pub in an official capacity. He signed up for and attempted to attend an edl event knowing full well that it was an edl event. It's that simple. And if he did do it an official capacity - or thought that he did - then that's actually worse.

You've not read the comments and his squirming, wriggling responses then.

Then you'll be able to post a link to an accurate version.

that thread is hilarious.

Looks like you just did you fool, whilst demanding that others read it without having done so yourself - and unquestioningly believing the claims of a lib-dem politician.

 

[frogwoman]

Read the comments ffs!

You're assuming I haven't; you are mistaken.

You're assuming I haven't; you are mistaken.

Had you read them you posted your defence of Brett? If so, what led you to dismiss them and to decide that his account of events is accurate?

 

[frogwoman]

he changes his story constantly though

 

[Nylock]

The wriggling and pathetic self-justifications in the face of his own constituent's outrage, how very typical of today's politician...

 

[butchersapron]

The fool is now threatening to sue for defamation and describing himself as a "battered hero" on twitter. (That's brett, not quartz btw).

I just read some of that feed, and now I feel the need of a shower to wash away that slime.

You fucking mug.

 

[brogdale]

...talking of which...

Han(dy)cock has (finally) been stripped of the whip...

Following our meeting today I have decided to offer to temporarily withdraw from the parliamentary party in the Commons until the civil court case against me has been concluded.
I can assure you that I will continue to vigorously defend my position and that I completely refute the allegations made against me.
I’m doing this in the best interests of the party nationally and in Portsmouth and for my family.
I will continue to work hard for my constituents in Portsmouth as I have always done.
Mike Hancock MP

I have decided....LOL ​

tbh, at Best Brett is being mindblowingly naive, as are you here.
At worst, he's fucked up, and knows it, can't bring himself to admit it, so he's wriggling like an eel
