Half an hour to go... my breath is bated...

[Oboogie]

He'll be off to the States, meanwhile Reform will tear itself apart and it's voters will scatter to the Tories, Restore and the Greens.

Maybe it'll be health grounds?: galloping knob-rot? terminal spite?
I wonder if he'll blame the Jews?

Maybe his remaining bollock has fallen off ?

[Abernathy]

Typically, the cunt is late. Lots of speculation on Sky News that he is perhaps going to announce a “back me or sack me” by-election in Clacton.

[Abernathy]

He is speaking now. A load of self-justifying shite.

[Boiler]

At the moment it's "ain't I brilliant?"

It's heading towards "I'm going nowhere".

[RedSparrows]

'I naturally attract money, man of the people me. You get random gifts from admirers, I bet - don't you hate it when that happens? What's that? A question? HOW FUCKING DARE YOU.'

Edit: I see he's gone with the 'most attacked' line again. People have died.

[Abernathy]

Yup. He’s decided to stage an un-necessary by-election in Clacton.

Should be good. Rupert Lowe is going to throw the kitchen sink at him in that by-election. Expect Labour to field a strong candidate too (Miliband Snr, perhaps ?) .

I can see this stunt backfiring on him, big time.

He imagines the scrutiny will end if he temporarily steps down.

[Andy McDandy]

If he gets shirty over a few reporters asking a handful of questions, how will he fare over 4 weeks at the top of the news agenda?

[Samanfur]

A tidy few of the hard-of-thinking who voted for him the first time will stick with him, because "They're all the same, innit?", or their friend's mother's cousin's wife saw a brown person five miles away two days after the election.

Some people just like the taste of snake oil.

[Dalem Lake]

Expect Labour to field a strong candidate too (Miliband Snr, perhaps ?) .

Nah, Labour and others should just ignore it like the stunt that it is and let the right duke it out for themselves.

[Boiler]

A by-election? Well, I'm sure the superannuated arseholes of Clacton in their council house go-karts will vote for him again.

Question, though: could he still stand if the Standards Committee rule against him, or is he trying to pre-empt them?
