A suspension of 10 days or more triggers a recall petition. If 10% of the electorate in that constituency sign it in the required time, then there is a by-election.

5th job for Brandon Lewis. 🙄

A former chair of the Conservative party is taking a job advising a company set up and significantly owned by two sanctioned Russian oligarchs.
Sir Brandon Lewis will join investment firm LetterOne, founded by billionaires Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr Aven.

#TheWeekInTory is back, damn you

1. Britain faces a crisis in health, education, farming, energy, housing, childcare, social care, imports, exports, manufacturing, services, debt, growth and infrastructure, so Rishi Sunak announced his grand plan to slightly alter A-Levels

But if everyone was as good at maths as Rishi they could know how many bins they have too.

That properly tickled me
My issue is if I send it to my conservative voting family they will say people need go "get behind sunak" and stop attacking him.

I wouldn't mind getting behind Sunak, picking him up and dropping him into a manhole.

I don't get the drama over 7 bins. 7 isn't even trying.

I'm in sweden and in my basement I have bins for:

General waste
Food waste
Cardboard
Paper
Metal
Hard plastic
Soft plastic
Clear glass
Coloured glass
Textiles
Batteries/electrical
Pant (stuff with a deposit)
Garden waste

I'd be made up if we had to have only 7.

In East Dunbartonshire we have 5 bins.

Food waste
General
Garden
Plastic, glass and metal
Paper

Next week's schedule for the Covid inquiry is out, and it's quite the line-up.
• Dominic Cummings
• Lee Cain (ex-Johnson media chief)
• Martin 'Party Marty' Reynolds
• Karaoke queen and ex-ethics chief Helen McNamara

And others!

The question is whether the media is actually paying any bloody attention to the Inquiry. From where I am sitting (read atleast one newspaper a day, and watch one of the mainbroadcasters news each evening) its just not being tracked.
I suppose they might come out for Cummings and possibly Reynolds.

Another one

EXCL from @kateferguson4 and Mike Sullivan

A leading Conservative MP has been arrested over an allegation of rape

Edited to add:

The latest allegations do not relate to previously reported cases. This is a new case.

Appalling. Hope whoever the victim is has had lots of support.

Unbelievable isn't it ? What is wrong with these people?

Just when you think they can't stoop any lower .......

Agree @Notonthestairs . You barely see it mentioned.

Is it another MP or one already accused and been accused of doing it to someone else as well?

(Not that either situation is a good one)

I think the former @itsgettingweird

Yet another. Such a good thing they know what a woman is.

It’s another one. Presumably not Peter Bone either if a sitting MP.

I might repeat my question from last week about whether there are any Tory MPs that aren’t sexual predators.

A man in his 60s arrested by Surrey police, that narrows it down a bit. Which Surrey MPs are that age?

Looks like it’s Grayling, Blunt or Lord.

Blunt has put out a statement confirming it is him

My parents old MP.

He seems pretty confident he isn't guilty.

He's standing down at next election already
