Jamie Wallis Transgender MP not standin

[Chersfrozenface]

Jamie Wallis, the transgender Tory MP for Bridgend, will not be standing in the licality at the next election.

In the BBC News story he says irs because of boundary changes. I'm sure we all believe him.

He"ll be trying to stand in a constituency outside Wales. One quote might give is a clue - "Certain communities congregate in certain areas of the country. So, it does make sense to look at other places".

So... Brighton? A constituency containing predominately university students?

I doubt Brighton would vote Tory, whatever his “gender”.

He (or possibly she, I’m not sure how far Jamie has got in ‘working towards being trans’ ) is not very popular in the constituency since the telegraph pole incident.

I hope not for their sake. As someone in his current constituency, he is an utterly useless MP.

'Boundary changes' - is that what they're calling it these days?

Changing people's boundaries - that's what it is.

What happened?

"He (or possibly she, I’m not sure how far Jamie has got in ‘working towards being trans’..."

The BBC uses 'he' and they're unfailing in using preferred pronouns.

Quite how Bridgend - a solid Labour seat usually - voted in a Tory is a mystery tied up with Brexit, hysteria around immigration and all the issues at the last election. I certainly didn't vote for him and he has done nothing for us. He's a joke, though not a funny one. Quoted in the local press as looking for a constituency where people 'have a sense of humour'.

I’ve lost track but could there be a run off between Izzard and Wallis in Brighton?

Certain running rules required..

Ooh, I'll need something to settle my queasy stomach.

He seems to be a deeply troubled and troubling man so I think it's a good thing he's stepping back.

He's married with children isn't he? All the best to his family, they must have been put through the wringer.

With other parties standing down to ensure the election of a trans MP?

Interesting idea.

Whose Tory MP is stepping down at the GE? He could be coming to a Conservative seat near you.😆

Is Eddie Izzard considering standing again? If so do we know which constituency.

Izzard wants to stand in the Brighton Pavilion constituency.

He's not stepping back . He's looking for a new constituency.

So he's male, he wants people to refer to him as a man, yet he's somehow 'transgender'? What?

He crashed his car into a telegraph pole while wearing a leather mini skirt and high heels. He abandoned his car and fled the scene.

Shortly after this incident he announced that he 'wanted to be transgender'.

Oh what a shame. A white male MP standing down will make parliament so much less diverse.

He's not standing down.

He's looking for another constituency to stand in. Preferably, it seems, where "Certain communities congregate".

That is a bizarre story.

Oh. Somewhere voters are a bit more blue haired then? (And not in the blue rinse sense?)

I don't think I'd bother if I were him. Those kind of people don't vote Tory.

Wallis’s story is worse than you think:

Even the BBC covered Jamie Wallis' connection with a dubious website.
