One for the historians on here, but I'm just wondering if 30p is the first person to be suspended by both the Labour party and the Conservative party! Quite a track record he has. Clearly a fine example of an upstanding, honourable Brit!

It's an extraordinary journey she's been on hasnt it!
From pro-remain LibDem to colluding with Farage, Bannon, QAnon nutjobs, including that guy who said that 'a woman in shorts is incitement to rape her and therefore shouldnt be a crime', and that other guy who said "they didnt gt the job done on Jan 6th and next time they will, and that will be the end of democracy!"
Psychologists would have enough material for a Masters thesis!

Sounds like "his kinda guy then" [also would help push back on "he's a racist" claims]

I must confess I'm not familiar with Byron Donalds. What's his USP?
All other things being equal, I could see how all the posters and livery saying "TRUMP - DONALDS" would be something that would tickle Trump's massive ego!

The whole thing's now becoming so ridiculous - with candidates falling over themselves to make themselves unelectable - that it's now not entirely inconceivable that this could end up the most unlikely Tory gain in the history of modern elections!

I remember being told at school, very sternly, that " you should never start a sentence with And". I never understood why, and happily disregarded said instruction at the time and ever since Well, that's William Blake told!!

40 seats for the SNP?? Strangely enough there was no manifestation of a decline in SNP support in this by-election.. Also can factor in that, presumably based on the massive drop in Tory vote and the poor showing for the LDs, this projection would mean the SNP "won" the 6 Tory seats and Caithness et al & Fife NE from the LDs, so that gives a bit of nuance to the idea that they retained as many as 40 seats because they didnt lose many to Labour, as they're 8 seats "in credit" effectively, before we start looking at SNP-Lab marginals.
