So he's lying?

Police are assessing evidence about donations to Robert Jenrick’s campaign to become Conservative leader in 2024 after a referral from the elections watchdog, the Guardian can reveal.

The information was passed on by the Electoral Commission, which the Guardian understands has been investigating allegations that almost £40,000 of donations to Jenrick’s leadership campaign before he defected to Reform UK, were from a foreign source in breach of electoral rules.

The Met said: “On Tuesday, 6 January we received a referral from the Electoral Commission concerning donations connected to a leadership campaign. This referral is under review and until it has been completed, we’re not in a position to comment further.”

The Electoral Commission confirmed that it had sent evidence about a leadership campaign to the Met after conducting its own investigation, with its inquiries now paused while the police review the material. The exact scope of the review is unclear and the police have not confirmed whether it relates to any specific individual. They could decide to open an investigation or take no further action.

Nothing will happen. It never does.

These cunts - and particularly this cunt - are / is taking the piss.

To ignore it sees us slipping down the path to client / failed statehood.

Jenrick - along with Farage - were two of the MPs for whom no vote was recorded in the Privilege motion.

You don't expect them to concern themselves with trivialities, do you?

Jenrick picks the wrong bank holiday to make his naff dog whistle. And uses a stock library pic that one reader spotted in an article from seven years ago.

I'm not sure that it is a stock image. The photo is credited to Chris Etchells in the earlier article. I do hope Mr Etchells takes action if his photo has been used without permission.

Once again a senior PaYTreotTic IngLiSHmeNs shows he knows absolutely fuck-all about English traditions.

But, of course, it isn't about patriotism, it's about people with brown skin and/or the wrong religion.

If he was referring to yesterday, that was the Whitsun bank holiday - that sort of thing was at the beginning of May.

My late mother remembered the original holiday and used to tell me about it.

I noticed that in 1982, someone tried to abolish the early May holiday:

If I remember correctly, Wellow make a big "touristy" thing of their May Pole events, so not quite your typical "every village green in England" take on things.

The irony of the likes of Jenrick championing communal activities taking place on common land.
