Funnily enough I don't remember Andrew ever expressing these concerns the last four times a Conservative MP became Prime Minister outside of a general election.

I guess the difference would be that war criminals don't get to avoid a trial by calling a by-election against a bin

BBC - Please invite Farage and Count Binface on to Question Time.
Not just in the USA In France, he has been styled Comte Tête-de-poubelle, while in Spain he is El Conde Cubo de Basura. “And there is that endless joke: there is one absurd, parody, completely inappropriate candidate – and he is standing against Count Binface. That one is kind of funny.””

As Europe swelters in record heat, here's what GB News has been saying about the threat posed by climate change...
We often think of trees as good for wildlife. But what if they're also becoming critical for our own survival? As temperatures rise, shade is no longer just a comfort – it's a necessity. Kate Moore explains why trees may be one of the most powerful tools we have for adapting to climate change.
Shade, cooling and survival: why we need more trees
Trees are nature’s air conditioning – cooling streets by up to 5°C, cutting heat risks, and helping cities withstand hotter summers

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely
Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness
The Reform leader's desperate decision to call a back-me-or-sack-me by-election is a sign of a politician who knows he is finally being exposed for the man he really is, argues Adam Bienkov

@countbinface.bsky.social representing the UK today. Thank you for your work.
In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope
If other parties say they won’t stand a candidate and given Farage‘s reason for trying to resign but re-stand + the £200k cost to the public for a pointless by election in the circs + the fact there’s a standards investigation…. It’s possible he won’t be allowed to resign
Farage resigns as MP for Clacton prompting a by-election he intends to win. Speech slagged off media, Sky News, plus Whitehall ‘dirty tricks’. Farage is getting ahead of Commons inquiries - a by-election cd’ve been triggered anyway. Will other parties stand? What a mess. Scotland can do better solo.
