In news that I'm sure will shock no one🙄

What a state to be in.

He needed something to clutch.

Yeah, the Lib Dems had one of those in Hampshire, allegedly. Politics can be so mucky on the XY side.

Ah interesting- see Central Suffolk and North Ipswich.

Didn't they share an interesting PhD tutor, in some obscure aspect of astronomy (or astrology 🤔)

According to Wiki, Wallis junior obtained a " doctorate in astrobiology from Cardiff University, having studied evidence for cometary panspermia, under the supervision of Chandra Wickramasinghe."

Wallis junior must have studied well before then, because Chandra Wickramasinghe was dismissed by Cardiff University in 2011 and moved to Buckingham University, a private establishment

There is a page on 'What Do They Know' about Wickramasinghe, Cardiff, Buckingham and Wallis senior, where Cardiff University don't seem to have answered an FOI request.

And do look up "cometary panspermia". It's not NSFW, just very much, erm, out there.

Hadn't heard of cometary panspermia before, but it is now my gender identity. Need to think up some pronouns; any suggestions welcome :)

Mars/ET?

Star / starself?

Meth sores was my first thought.

spe/spem/spers?

Or maybe spem/spemself

I’m imagining Dr Wallis shouting “Objection, y’honour!” every time his [sic] own KC ‘misgendered’ him 😂

I suspect it’s a “no true trans” sort of thing. I bet lots of TRAs discounted him as being a Tory MP.
I remember thinking when I first heard of him that he’d be disowned PDQ. He is certainly the opposite of “stunning and brave”.

Honestly surprised. I thought he was going to quietly vanish and decide not to be trans after all.

Maybe my suspicious mind but anyone come across him being trans in between criminal cases? Just how recent is the name change?

Wallis was still Jamie on 2 June last year. He had said in October 2023 that he would not be standing at the next general election, and was giving his response to the announcement of the GE's date and the end of his tenure as an MP.

It sounds like his ex-wife has.

I wondered that, along with the facial changes. But also considered a cigarette marks tbh.

The skin on his face and all those bruises on his arms certainly indicate a very unwell individual/

If there was a legitimate health reason (as opposed to drugs) then I am sure it would have been mentioned eg. ‘currently unwell/in the midst of treatment’.

It sounds like his ex-wife has.

Ah yes, iswym, I had not yet read the article. Quite the classic transwidow story then. Poor ex and kids.

I read that Wallis' look is typical of meth sores. I have no blooming idea, do not know a single drug addict.

You’re not talking about the Winchester chap are you, the one with interesting choices in eating?

Some rum chaps in the Lib Dems.

This is a picture of the Parliamentary Liberal Party in 1973. In retrospect it looks like a police line up.

Wales Online is not letting this go, because the person Wallis scuttled into Tesco to avoid was its reporter.

It also says pointedly "Ms Bahra said her client — who became the UK's first transgender MP when she came out in 2022 — uses she/her pronouns although the barrister mostly referred to the politician as "he" during the hearing."
