Jamie Stone MP

Well, Betsy, if this is his cousin, I imagine the utterly bizarre position Cass adopts might have rather a lot to do with it!

And ironically Jamie Stone's seat was allocated for an all-women shortlist when he got the candidate spot.

Jamie Stone looks to be another ex-public school wealthy white male who doesn’t regard women as people

Jame Stone has done a complete 180. He used to be very supportive of women's rights and was horrified to hear what was going on when I last spoke to him about 18 months ago.

I'm not sure what happened but the response I received from him regarding the Maternity Bill was both inaccurate and misogynistic.

What a shame, he's been really great speaking out for those of us excluded from covid financial support. I had a lib dem leaflet through the door yesterday, I was thinking that I was looking forward to them coming round (if that's happening these elections).

Bloody hell. Shameful behaviour by the LibDems.

Is there scope for reporting MPs who tweet or support this sort of thing for a breach of Parliamentary standards?

#7 seems to apply, as tweeting about your correspondence is hardly acting with integrity.

“ 7.Members should act on all occasions in accordance with the public trust placed in them. They should always behave with probity and integrity, including in their use of public resources.”

Changed user name to say that Jamie Stone's cousin is Cass (Caroline) McDonald who was at a private Edinburgh girls' school, but has since declared a non-binary identity and also identifies as many things (including disabled, Jewish, mixed race etc). Cass is well known on the Lib Dem pages for giving out abuse as suits and then crying hurt and upset if identity is challenged.

Goodness. 66? Is it him writing those tweets or his assistants? Although it does not matter because it’s obviously coming out from his office.

I am wondering if increasing numbers of politicians are forgetting Nolan principles or whether they think it doesn’t apply to them.

It's never specified which human rights they mean

'I will not be effectively lobbied into denying people their basic human rights.'

I had no idea that so many people- including politicians!- have no idea what that universal human rights declaration actually says

66?

This is embarrassing. END OF.

I'm half looking forward to the door knockers now - as long as they don't start shouting at me (like apparently some canvassers have).

Good god. The Lib Dem's really are on a mission to make this country a two party democracy

The Lib Dems have always attracted strange people. I have voted for them in every election since 1979 (before they existed! They were just the Libs then), and I often ask myself why. There is a fightback in the party against the nonsense, but it will take time. I won't be voting for them in the upcoming election. First preference to Binface, because there are a couple of great policies - the issue of hand dryers is a vexing one, and it's good to see it addressed. Then we'll see about the second.

Apropos of nothing , in his Twitter bio he describes himself as 'Parliament’s Panto Dame'.

66?

Crikey.

With so few MPs you'd think they'd be making themselves more relevant to the average voter, not less.

I suppose when you only have 8 MPs you have to double up

He's 66? Grow up, man

He's the party's Defence and Digital, Culture, Media & Sport spokesman, which is very Lib Dem.

not all that safe...

"He was re-elected in the 2019 general election with 11,705 votes, but a reduced majority of 204.[21]

he's also 66 ffs! how embarrassing to behave like this with that amount of life experience
