You’re nit-picking. End of digression.

I called Dowden a minister, you said he was a sinecure. I replied;

@wendeey

Think that’s what they call in the trade as ‘nit picking’. He was the minister who was supposed to have been doing the media rounds this morning and Priti Patel had to stand in for him.

And in the wikipedia link it says that he was an unpaid minister. But you called him a sinecure, sinecure’s are usually paid for their position, I can nit pick too you know

If you wish to nit pick; anything you can do, I can do better

[Omah]

No, you can’t.

Neil Parish said that people in the constituency had voted against a “very unpopular prime minister” who is “living in a parallel universe”.

Hi

A stunning victory for the LibDems, a huge loss, not only for the Tories but also Labour.

Labour lost their deposit - no mention of this by Starmer I notice. Too busy crowing about the Wakefield result, even though they lost 5000 votes since 2019.

I don’t think the loss off £500 will affect the Labour Party’s finances to any great extent. The Tiverton by-election was a lost cause for Labour and, apparently, Labour has instructed frontbenchers not to travel to campaign for the forthcoming Tiverton & Honiton by-election in an apparent attempt to give the Lib Dems a better chance of victory over the Tories.

Labour lost its deposit in the south and the Lib Dems lost theirs in in the North. Tactical voting to get rid of tories. A great result for the people who want an honourable PM and not a lying, self serving buffoon, overseeing a corrupt Government. The tory MPs had a chance to remove him, but overwhelmingly kept him in place; much to the disgust of every decent human being in the country. The result, however, is ignored by Boris who wants to continue despite the country’s lack of trust in him or his Cabinet.
