I see someone has been digging:

How's that vetting going...?

[Youngian]

Speaking at the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd, Jones said: "I've just suddenly felt that the Conservative Party was unrecognisable to me. It wasn't the party that I joined over three decades ago."
She said Reform "is listening to the people of Great Britain" and called Farage "a great man".

Farage is the new John Major?

[mattomac]

What she means is they are tanking in the polls and the best bet of election is with reform.

Intriguing they have lost every seat they have defended.

Ha ha ha ha. Reform councillor tells a baffled Sophie Ridge that Chicago (which is kind of the proverbial unsafe city in the US) is safer than London. When Sophie points out the London's actually OK, she tells her that she probably comes into work by taxi (Sophie takes the bus) and that if she went on trains she'd see men in balaclavas running amok. More deranged than Farage the other day.

Another not at all washed up recruit from another party.

[Abernathy]

Fucking hell. I always knew Lembit was a fucking nutjob. Didn’t realise he was a cunt as well.

I'm reminded of David Cameron's assessment of UKIP; one of the very few things he got right.

Opik had a mid morning show on local radio in Kent. Has he replaced Partridge on North Norfolk Digital?

[kreuzberger]

And is Ann Widdecombe a Cheeky Girl? I think we should be told, but preferably without photographic illustration.

[mattomac]

Are the Hamilton's currently in the process of signing up.

[Andy McDandy]

Wasn't Hamilton the Kipper/Leave Party leader in Wales? Assuming they just carried on being members of "Nigel's Political Project PLC".

Another day in the life of the common sense party dedicated to eliminating waste.

19 year old spends 150 grand on asking the grown-ups.

Feathering the nest so to speak.

That would be for all 3 parties on the council. I assume that the Lib Dems and Tories have people who've actually been around a bit?

"Political adviser" in a county council? That's the funniest thing since that assistant to Laura Pidcock was calling himself the "Chief of Staff", like she was in charge of the Pentagon.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Having made an enormous arse of herself repeatedly, she' back on the old favourites. Is the working definition of anti-Semitism a "blasphemy law"? No. It's not even a law.

[Boiler]

Why is it I just read that DOG as "Gibbon News"?

[Youngian]

Oh my word

Former Tory MP Adam Holloway says he is defecting to Reform UK because he thinks it is the party to 'rescue' Britain

Another Tory who lost his seat in 2024.

Astonishingly, Holloway made some excellent World In Action documentaries on homelessness in the early 90s. He's long been a crank though.

[mattomac]

Another I might be able to get elected.

[Tubby Isaacs]

He’ll be wishing he’d done what Lee Anderson did, jump before the election.
