Private Eye is stacked every issue with stories like this. And for far greater sums too. Teesside Freeport Not that Rishi would want you to know exactly how dodgy it is

I dunno - pay for Eton, get an MP salary (plus all the kickbacks) Paying for private school to get an MPs Salary is a a seriously low bar considering what their peers will be earning. It's more like "if you pay for Eton your son will have a guaranteed minimum income of an MP salary with possibility for huge post position bonuses." It's probably what some of them think minimum wage is.

At this point it feels like being an MP is the perk of the job.

Labour needs to stop doing so many U-turns as it give the tankies/corbyn cults ammo. The reddit twats were loving the recent u-turn (which imo is not a major one) (at least it stops them wanking over hamas videos for a little bit)
Also the law needs to change about the rulling party setting the date when the election is called, especially when we have 2 unelected cunt waffles having a go as PM taking over from the first blonde cunt waffle

We had a changed law but it was repealed this parliament. Not that the FTPA was perfect either mind you.
Anyway, didn't watch PMQs but enjoyed this.

I imagine he'll resign rather than face a recall petition, it's a bizarre situation as he was on the campaign trail for the Tories earlier this week when he was suspended.

It's more like "if you pay for Eton your son will have a guaranteed minimum income of an MP salary with possibility for huge post position bonuses." It's probably what some of them think minimum wage is. This is a fundamental misunderstanding about the better class! It's not about income, it's about wealth and power. The salary is for expenses compared to the income in the estate and the property developments, which you get thru with your connections.

They say to overcome nerves you should just picture everyone naked.
Next logical step surely?

The poor party can't seem to catch a break. Such a shame.
Oh well, that's another two seats up for grabs...

Maybe the idea that people who want power shouldn't be given it isn't such a bad one.

It should be quite easy to work out who it is. After the last few weeks, their surname will already imply that they are a sex offender.

The Tories will fail to do it properly. It will be some no-name backbencher that we’ve never heard of instead of a cabinet member

Remember the Chris Pincher seat is one that's being contested on Thursday after his sex pest activities, a form of nominative determinism is strong in the Tory party. It's getting fucking ridiculous now. Blunt on drugs charges FFS.
