Has he mentioned that it's all a big conspiracy just to get him ousted. If I knew that was what it took to get him to fuck off I would have donated long ago. Wonder if £1.82 would have the same effect that cos thats all I have in change at the mo.

Literally nothing yet. Total blowhard.

I suspected as much. Thanks for confirming.

The well known 2026 Prevention of Watch Wearing Act

MargoLivebetter · 07/07/2026 14:26

YAS

Xiaoxiong · 07/07/2026 14:26

Noooooo

Izzyink · 07/07/2026 14:26

Clacton will be gutted 🤣

RafaistheKingofClay · 07/07/2026 14:26

Yes he’s going!

twocornichons · 07/07/2026 14:26

This could backfire spectacularly for him

MyGirlJ · 07/07/2026 14:26

Woohoo!!!

Resigning as MP forcing a by election

MyrtleLion · 07/07/2026 14:26

OMG! My DH was right!!!

Pieceofpurplesky · 07/07/2026 14:26

WTF is he on about? All that shite - he could have said that at the start!

At least he can take comfort on his bed or freshly laundered £50 notes.

Thankfully they're polymer now and not paper, otherwise that could be rather soggy...🙄

Let's just hope they're genuine or the ink might run.

CaveMum · 07/07/2026 14:27

He’s trying imitate his idol in giving long waffling speeches.

Surely he’s going to say “I’m too much of a distraction for the party so am doing the honourable thing in stepping down.”

LizzieSiddal · 07/07/2026 14:27

The reason he’s doing this is because there’s a rule that once you have a by election YOU CANNOT INVESTIGATE PREVIOUS MONEY HES TaKEN!!!

MargoLivebetter · 07/07/2026 14:27

WTAF, he is resigning and standing again? Is this some kind of ruse to side step the parliamentary standards enquiry?

TheRestIsEntertsinent · 07/07/2026 14:27

What a colossal waste of time and money. I almost feel sorry for the people of Clacton.

RafaistheKingofClay · 07/07/2026 14:27

Oh no he isn’t.

This could go hilariously wrong. Although at least the Clacton electorate will get to see him.

sittingonabeach · 07/07/2026 14:27

What!

HilaryThorpe2 · 07/07/2026 14:27

I can't liston to the man so have subtitles on. They are hilarious. I especially like "the pylon against reform",

ukathleticscoach2012 · 07/07/2026 14:27

The most attacked politician in modern times.

Apart from the 2 who were killed!

I thought the 5 million was unconditional now its for security now its not

For someone calling for pure cold hate its pretty hypocritical.

The majority of press and definitely media is right wing ridiculous

He claims to be a businessmen but his previous occupation was gambling with other peoples money now its grifting money and spouting his views on GB news

Secretsquirrelshh · 07/07/2026 14:28

27 minutes of fuck all. I’m off to pick raspberries.

LizzieSiddal · 07/07/2026 14:28

So now the parliamentary investigation cannot now go ahead Angry

CaveMum · 07/07/2026 14:28

I hope Al Murray is going to stand against him again.
