Agree
wouldn’t be surprised at republican involvement at all, hasn’t Truss been courting them recently?

Secret talks with hypothetical countries???

Come on he had just forgotten what his talks with someone was about. His memory is really very poor for which we should all be sympathetic.

My family and friends in the US seem to think there is quite a lot of 'overseas money' kicking around elements of certain US pressure groups.

Truss has certainly been very busy in the US. Bridgen was with her on last trip.

Yes the death of NHS dentistry will have consequences for our overall health and wellbeing.

Mone taking aim at Gove now. Interesting times.

Oh dear.

Just need her to name Nadine’s Dr No now if she’s going to take everyone down with her.

Although Mone’s lawyers now seem to be instructing lawyers to speak on their behalf. It’s all getting a bit meta.

hahahaha... horrible man... breaking news

MP Peter Bone loses seat after recall petition, triggering by-election in the previously Conservative constituency Wellingborough

Another byelection soon

Voters in Wellingborough trigger byelection after suspension of Peter Bone | Conservatives | The Guardian

Keiran Pedley, director of politics at Ipsos UK, has said previously that there would need to be a swing of at least 18 points for Labour to take the seat from the Tories.

Snap! Good news spreads fast...

Couldn’t happen to a nicer man 😂

Now the question is might Rishi decide February might be the right time for a general election?

Hahahahahahaha.

At this rate I'm not sure a GE will even be necessary to kick the Tories out, the way the byelections are racking up.

Good point. They’re certainly coming thick and fast.

That's got to be a pub question on politics. What's the most number of by elections held in between general elections.

I'm in hospital recovering from an operation. So I'm in the right place to get help fixing the rib bone I've just broken from laughing so much on hearing that Bone has lost his seat in Wellingborough 🤣🤣🤣

Oh that's cheered me up, thanks. Bye Peter: God pays debts without money.

1949 - 54 looks like the winner, there were 61.

I am sure Sunak with his reverse midas touch is working on it as we speak.

This is soooo funny

That is very good.
Difficult to believe that such a key committee meeting only lasted an hour and a half.

Looking at Electoral Calculus as of late November, Wellingborough is toast as far as the Tories are concerned.

Great news about Bone. An early Christmas gift!🥳

Thanks @Roussette, that’s brilliant.
