Introducing UnHerd Britain 2023- What does your constituency think about today's political issues?
I wonder what's happening in that little otters-pocket corner ?
Good to see that the vast majority of the country is now green.
We can only hope that implies we’ll rejoin sooner rather than later.
hehe ... it's very telling, the fact there's new Tory scandal every week that we could be posting on here but we've accepted as normal, compared to scandals made by non-Tory MPs appearing so infrequently ...
Still, there are some questions -
- an open secret of "cocaine ... five grams a day, along with a bottle of vodka and 60 cigarettes" > he really needs help, so why on earth was this not discovered sooner ?
- these open & shut cases take way too long, extricating every minute detail, at a (legal) cost of how many 100s of 1000s ?
Amusing that the self proclaimed centrist jez ignores all the scandal drenched tory MP's, but jumps straight in when a (ex) Labour MP is found wanting.
Of course, as he tells us, he's just interested in balance. That's why he hasn't posted any links to tory malfeasance. Oh yes.
I cannot for the life of me think why.
Honestly? It's very likely your selective bias. But either way, we'd need an extensive survey to show it either way.
Besides, in this particular case, this guy was also an Independent MP, so not easy to summarise in a headline.
As a quick experiment, I looked back through the latest 5 pages of BBC UK Politics and only found a single entry mentioning an ex-Tory, which I imagine you don't have an issue with >
Don't expect perfect fix for protocol, says Sir John Major - Nobody will get everything they want from the UK-EU negotiations, warns the former Tory PM.
@jez - I had an idea - an advanced google search on site:www.bbc.com
Looks pretty balanced to me, although of course I didn't read every article to see if they were good guys or bad guys.

Assume this will be fine as the EU area doing it.
A rather naive comment.
Obviously it will be ‘fine’ with some, and not with others.
Presumably it will be ‘fine’ with you as you told us you voted remain.
Only just seen this ... good old Rod !
This is a shame. As much as I disagree with an independent Scotland, hopefully she stays in the public eye in some form.
