    There'll be a lot of pinging around Tory HQ.

    Thoughts and prayers with Tory MP and former Minister Owen Paterson for basically being found guilty of expense and Parliamentary 'fraud' at a scale that may have led to his wife taking her own life.... (Obviously he's now playing the victim card, victim of an unfair investigation etc etc)
    Yes, the same MP who has been blocking his constituents on Twitter for challenging his voting to pour raw sewage into UK rivers and seas...

    As opposed to a lot of 'ponging' in UK rivers....

    Struggling to find this story on BBC News website. Surely this isn't being supressed?

    Yet, oddly enough, Nadine Dorries isn't threatening to nail the writer's scrotum to their doorstep using their teeth over it

    On the other hand, Nick Robinson telling De Pfeffel to stop blathering and actually answer a question over a month ago, that's got her teeth grinding this week...

    Interesting thread on this story....
    Guilty as (not) charged! <doh>
    In any other walk of life Paterson would be subject to dismissal and Police investigation.
    Not, apparently, when you are a pro-Brexit Tory MP (who was a Gov minister at the time this corruption started).

    This is part of the latest Tory trend to separate themselves from previous Conservative governments.
    They can no longer blame The Last Labour Government, so they're acting like they're a new entity.
    It's easy when there's no challenge from the media.

    One thing I noticed in Commons today: the vast majority of Tory MPs sat around or behind Sunak were wearing masks, barring a few outright scum such as Rees Mogg and Coffey who still didn't - but on the benches to the right of the dispatch box, barely any Tories were wearing masks

    It's almost as if they were making an effort knowing that the footage might just be aired outside the UK...
