Because I didn't read his name properly when I googled it.

Are we back to "it was such a long time ago" now?
Why did you need to google his name? You posted a link to the story 7 days ago.

It reads like you didn't know who he was and are just looking to rage bait.

The same as it's like you and a few others are trying to run any distraction you can rather than say he isn't fit to be an MP.

We're just metaphorically rolling our eyes in response, as usual.

You have a thread full of people losing their st over Haigh.

You have this thread full of people who can post plenty about Farage when it suits but who can't find it in themselves to utter a word about the suitability of a man sent to prison for giving his girlfriend a literal kicking to be an MP just because he represents a party they support.

Posted in the Haigh thread by me and applies here also:

"A spent conviction is a spent conviction regardless of rosette colour and, as long as it doesn't specifically disqualify from holding a position, should not be a consideration as long as those that needed to know have been told about the actual conviction........but they do not need to know the minutiae of the actual offence IMO."

Stewie - *you* do most of the posting about Farage, not everybody else.

As to the MP in question, I would say that as the current law says he can stand as an MP if he has completed his time, then he is entirely within his right to stand as an MP. If the constituents he is appealing to wish to elect him, that is entirely within their rights.
If none of the other candidates opposing him havent done their Opponent research on him to then publicise about him to those whose votes they wish for...THEN ITS ENTIRELY ON THEM!!
If I know Im going up against a Reform candidate, given their current popularity, Id be telling my bloody HQ to get a proper sodding dossier on them and Id be plastering all over my canvassing area!

Not sure they can 'get their act together '. They aren't going to be trusted for a long time, if ever, no matter how much the Telegraph wails.

Quite. Then self-inflicted damage from the Tories let Labour in.

Already Labour is shooting itself in the foot on a regular basis and their large poll lead has gone. Starmer is now less popular than Farage.

Not really, it was forecast to be far worse than it actually was. Less seats than the Limpdems etc.

Lol. Going from an 80 seat majority to the other lot having a 170 seat majority? Nah, it's just a flesh wound.

The Tories are at risk of getting fewer MPs than the Liberal Democrats, according to a mega-poll.

The bombshell survey of almost 20,000 people suggests 20 Cabinet ministers could lose their seats in the bloodbath - including Rishi Sunak.
