Lammy taking PMQs today as Starmer is at NATO summit

Ed Davey keeping up the pressure has written to Rachel Reeves urging her not to accept Farage's resignation

I can’t decide whether refusing the resignation or making him fight the Count would be more pleasing.

Nick Robinson finally pointing out the obvious

BBC radio 4 Today, Nick Robinson roasts Yusuf & Farage

“You say this is all about standing up to the establishment.

“You’re a multi-millionaire. You made your money selling luxury helicopter charters and rare wines to the super-wealthy.

Obviously I wouldn't dare inflict factual history on any other MN threads

I just missed Tice doing that! I mean I’m glad really but wta!! Deeply unfashionable I suppose.

I mean tbf he also does a mean (very mean!) cameo for about 50 quid too …

Maybe it will be a re run of Bell v. Hamilton ?

E2A:

Count Binface should pay for one ....

I see Badenoch is (almost) endorsing Binface.

This would be brilliant

"Clactons coming chrome"

Brilliant - maybe Binface’s supporters could also request these cameos for him - like a present - wishing him luck in Clacton …

Watching PMQs. Lammy v Cleverly.
Cleverly is on dodgy ground with prisons and early releases. We all know one of the reasons Sunak went when he did because there was about to be a situation with no more places in prison at all.
Edit: which Lammy has just pointed out. Good for him.

Speaking of Clacton, it seems that due to the summer recess this by-election will have to wait. Which puts pressure on Farage to remain to "campaign" in Clacton over summer.

All to fight a bin.

"All to fight a bin"

😂

Nice one Daisy Cooper! “The Honourable Member for Clacton used to say ‘leave means leave’”!
I much prefer her to Polanski’.

I felt mean writing that. I have no animosity to the good Count (yes, it's the count versus the cunt, surely a thread title ?). I have no reason to doubt he is of impeccable integrity.

Farage is privileged to have such a worthwhile adversary/

I agree, she came across very well today.

Lol. I actually thought the cout made a good impression on Breakfast TV this morning.

🤣

Am I reading this thread right? Tice made chicken noises on Radio 4?

Farage has resigned to delay/avoid an investigation in to a bung from an overseas 'investor' and the Deputy Chairman of Reform responds with animal noises?

No. It was on GB News I think.

Ah. That actually makes more sense. Playground stuff.

It was on LBC
