Poland implemented harsh anti abortion laws
Today a married woman died because her baby needed aborting but wasnt dead.
This place will erupt tomorrow
Sadly, heās my MP. I was so looking forward to a by-election, but the sleazebag has got off the hook thanks to having loads of sleazebag cunts as friends.
I cannot start to explain how utterly pissed off I am.

What they say about reforming the process seems fair - it should be transparent and there should be a right of appeal and it definitely shouldnāt be down to the MPs to confirm or not confirm a recommendation- you canāt trust party politics
What stinks is that they have chosen now to decide that the process is not fit for purpose when they are trying to save a chum
Why not a month ago

I think itās now called a LGBTQIA-election.
What Johnson?
No, the MP.
Fancy that. An MP actually resigning when caught doing wrong. Reminds me of the 1980s.

Then again, heās resigned while admitting to no wrongdoing, and moaning like hell about not having a chance to clear his name. I canāt work out whether he genuinely believes that heās done nothing wrong, or was simply hoping to get off knowing full well that heās guilty as hell.
Funniest thing Iāve heard on this was the hilariously coiffeured Michael Fabricant, whining about Labour and the other opposition parties conflating the issues of Paterson and the way in which standards etc. are investigated. Sure it wasnāt your lot doing that, Mikey old chap?

Heāll get a fucking great pension. And as his pay from these companies had nothing to do with lobbying surely they will still āemployā him?

Course they will - he can now lobby like biilyho without breaking rules

I retract my previous comment. Wonderful though Michael Fabricant certainly was, he couldnāt hold a candle to the morningās star turn, Kwasi Kwarteng, who was rolled out on the Today programme to defend the governmentās conduct. Needless to say, he didnāt make a particularly good job of itā¦

Unfortunately even if they did get an independent I canāt see them doing a Martin Bell.
So Labour are going to stand. What are the odds on a Tory landslide? 
The idea of an anti-sleaze independent being given a free run might be superficially attractive but was never likely to work here (itās my constituency). A high profile candidate respected by all parties would have to be found and there isnāt one. And getting the opposition parties to work together and commit funds would be a nightmare.
This episode will hurt the Tories but not enough for them to lose the seat. There are enough voters around here who would vote for a pig as long as it had a blue rosette.
Labour are dysfunctional but came (a very poor) second last time. LibDems did well in the local elections (except Shroppie, who lost) and have come second before but are starting from a very low base. But they have the best by-election machine (I would say that, Iām part of it) and will, I believe hugely increase their vote, but nowhere near enough.
Add to that the Tories have to move the writ for the election and theyāll have no moral scruples about ignoring the convention that it is done within 3 months. They donāt need the seat for their majority, donāt care that the constituency is unrepresented and will wait until the fuss has died down and they can think of something to claim as a Tory success.
