Does he have any brothers or sisters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the one they're looking at is Bernard Jenkin, his wife and others which the Johnson crew are fully in favour of to show the supposed hypocrisy of the people who judged him. I'm fully in favour of the police investigating any Tory MP that fancy, for the record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the London Mayor one, where a video of it was provided by the Daily Mirror - new evidence, possibly also inviting "review" of statements given by people interviewed who maybe didn't tell the truth? Possible double set of charges? And then one that @ml1dch mentions above 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be interviewing the police officers guarding Downing street who failed to report the boxes of alcohol and “guests” going in after hours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 At the last council elections Tamworth switched from Conservative to no overall party control. When the new leadership team came in they made a parting shot at those ousted by stating they recognised that the appalling state of the roads was a major concern for the people of Tamworth and they would address it. They said that although work is “owned” by Staffordshire County Council it’s the job of the borough councillors to lobby and ensure sufficient funding is in place and that the work happens. The Tories weren’t doing that. They just said it wasn’t within their remit. They’ve stayed true to the word and it’s impossible to drive more than about half a mile now without coming to some temporary lights and road repairs. Short term pain but long term gain. **** the Tories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had them filling the holes on my street a couple of months ago, most of the potholes are back and even bigger now, absolute **** waste of time. We've got double decker buses driving over these bodge jobs and the fixes may as well be papier mache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the traffic lights setup so I’m taking that as a sign they aren’t rushing it in half an hour. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1dch Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 By-election fun again. Chris Pincher set to be suspended for six weeks, so a Tamworth by-election on the horizon. Eddie Hughes has already been announced as the candidate for the General Election for Tamworth, leaving Walsall North which is being scrapped in the boundary changes. So he's presumably going to have to quit WN to fight the Tamworth by-election, risking losing both seats if Labour can take Tamworth (big majority, but Labour during the Blair years). Followed by the most pointless by-election back in Walsall for the last year of its existence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
