Hard to believe, I’ve heard of carrying a grudge but this is worse than a woman scorned. Mind it must rankle when it’s all Corbyn’s fault.
Unfortunately Tories are now beginning to twitch about the local elections in early May. “I think they are going to be bad, possibly very bad, especially in London,” says one Conservative MP. https://www.theguardian.com/comment...ate-is-a-laughing-matter-outraged-voters-dont

Surely people are allowed to comment on what was a momentous decision. I thought it was the wrong thing to do then and still do. I'm not crying about it though and accept the decision. The repercussions will be felt for decades so I'd imagine people will continue to mention it.
I’ve repeatedly said that 1 Id be ok with Brexit if it was a better version ie not economically harmful to the poorest, retain a close relationship with Europe, not xenophobic. The thicko’s and racists went for Boris version cos it only had 3 words and he’d said bad things about Muslims. 2 I’m not a Corbynite. I tend to vote Labour to keep the Tories out in General Elections cos it’s tight with Tories and often Green, sometimes Lib Dem in locals but the Tory voters seem to just say ‘what about Corbyn’ constantly when I provide evidence that Boris and Co are terrible. Evidence like this https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/polit...ts-poverty-stats-26622827#l1jeop7kd3f9jopd866 Where the exclusive private school party dispute statistics about poverty
It was noticeable that the hysteria over dinghies full of Muslims was pumped up in the run up to Brexit. Nothing's changed but people feel as if they made a stand. I suppose that's fair enough tbh.
That story about the Frome MP taking cocaine and hassling women could have probably happened on any political side in all honesty. What could only happen in the ‘fighting for Ukraine’ Tories is this bit … £100,000 loan Warburton is not only alleged to be a risk to women. Evidence suggests his conduct could fall short of the rules governing standards and transparency in public life. He borrowed £100,000 from a Russian businessman without declaring it, a decision that could lead to an investigation by the parliamentary commissioner for standards. The man who lent him the money is Roman Joukovski, a financial adviser who has specialised in offshore tax advice and providing tier-one “golden” investor visas to foreign citizens, including oligarchs and the family of Kazakhstan’s dictator. In 2014 Financial Conduct Authority refused to certify him as a “fit and proper person”, limiting his ability to provide certain kinds of financial advice, and one of his businesses was recently forced into insolvency after a separate FCA ruling. Warburton knew about Joukovski’s past problems with the regulator, but took the loan via an offshore entity linked to the businessman’s family trust. He later brought the Russian-born British citizen into the Palace of Westminster and used his parliamentary email address to organise meetings for Joukovski, including one with Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Brexit opportunities secretary, who was a backbencher at the time in 2017. According to a source with direct knowledge of the transaction, Warburton has since repaid the money at high levels of interest. This is from the Times not the Mirror or Guardian.
