Well, this bunch are so corrupt that they aren't even trying to hide it any longer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59154221Carrying out egregious lobbying which is completely against the rules and regulations of Parliament and earns you multiples of your salary as an MP? If you're a Tory there is now no need to fear any punishment This lot have just voted to ignore the findings of the independent commissioner and the committee overseeing standards and instead are creating a new committee dominated by Tory MPs which will, well, what exactly will they do? Are they suddenly going to decide that said Tory was actually lobbying (as evinced by the e-mails referenced in the investigation)? Are they intercourse. They are going to fix the system so that they can do whatever the intercourse they want and milk even more money. Absolute blatant, shameless corruption is the only description for this. As for our local Tory MPs, no surprise that Nici has voted for it because she's obviously in it for herself (does she even spend any time in Grimsby?) so will do whatever she is told. I was told that Vickers was a decent enough bloke but it seems to me he is just a gutless yes man. Neither of these two care about corruption. Would be interesting to see who they are going to be getting backhanders from in due course once the 'new committee' has decided what is and isn't allowed. My guess is that pretty much anything will go.
No comments from the two local Tory puppet's I see. Absolutely shameless. |

Absolutely hopeless. They should be scrutinised on their voting against the recent environmental bill especially with the area they rule over. Still Nici said Mr Irreverent would be her mentor so it's no surprise at all. |

It’s easy to find MP voting…Nici is a careerist and once an easier seat becomes available she’ll be off. Vickers is just a walking contradiction and anyone That knows anything about him personally knows it must be extremely awkward at family functions… |

Slightly off topic, but this struck a chord with me, from an Alistair Campbell column “So Rishi Sunak got his Burys mixed with his Burnleys, thereby confirming the Cabinet’s knowledge of the Red Wall seats to which they are supposedly dedicated is as superficial as the chancellor’s Instagram account. Can you imagine the media meltdown if it had been a Labour chancellor, or Diane Abbott, who had made the same mistake? I can. Bacon sandwich, bigot-gate time all over again… see, you remember those.” https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/alastair-campbell-cop26-global-britain/ |

Well who would have believed it?
The Conservative Party has been accused of abusing the honours system by systematically offering seats in the House of Lords to a select group of multimillionaire donors who pay more than £3 million to the party.
An investigation by The Sunday Times and Open Democracy reveals that wealthy benefactors appear to be guaranteed a peerage if they take on the temporary role as the party treasurer and increase their own donations beyond £3 million. In the past two decades, all 16 of the party’s main treasurers — apart from the most recent, who stood down two months ago having donated £3.8 million — have been offered a seat in the Lords.
Among them was Peter Cruddas, a billionaire whose peerage was pushed through by Boris Johnson against the recommendation of the Lords appointments commission. One of the commission’s members has broken the panel’s silence over the process, saying the prime minister’s decision to “override what we did ... left a bad taste in my mouth”.
