Seriously though, is there no prohibition from being a sitting MP and EDITING A NEWSPAPER (the UKs fourth largest)

Let alone one that's a couple of hundred miles away from the constituency you're supposed to represent.

Seen a few mention it might be a platform to launch a mayoral bid for in 2020. You'd hope Khan wouldn't be too troubled by someone as odious as Osborne, but then...
 
What favours must he have done for lebedev while in government to get this much of a public payment for his services?

A man who has had one job, folding towels, and one other journalistic experience, being rejected by the times, is suddenly editor of a newspaper. And people claim he is there on merit still? This shite is why this country is in a mess, nothing to do with the eu.

And yet when electoral reform is mentioned the first defence is the importance of the local constituency link :rolleyes:

Hmm I know Goldsmith ran an odious campaign, but if Khan can see him off I can't begin to imagine Osborne challenging him. He's not popular personally.
 


Quite entertaining to read up the thread as well.
 
Doesn't Osborne have multiple other money making ventures, a bit of consultancy work here, a little advising there. He'll be flying in a private jet and have a property empire before we know it.

Ah, Amol Rajan. Who definitely wasn't calling for people to vote for the Tories when he backed another Tory-Lib Dem coalition in his role at the Independent at the last election. Nope, definitely not.

I don't like Carswell but you get the impression he would like a moderately sane party that appears electable. Farage is just a fruitloop.

I wouldn't give him that much credit. He is a man that argued on Twitter that the moon doesn't cause tides.

:lol: I agree and why I said I don't like him. But compared with Farage, Nuttal and banks, he looks like Albert Einstein.

Just read up on this and can now only picture someone explaining to him the Father Ted sketch of small and close, big and far away :lol:

"You can't explain that."
 
Well.. There is no reason for them to exist anymore. They got what they wanted.
 
Still stuck with them as Welsh AMs for another 4 years, hopefully no one votes for them again in 2021.

Not sure what happens with their MEPs though given the next Euro elections are in 2019.
 
UKIP will probably get Marine A to run against him at the next election. Well, unless Dan Jarvis beats them to it and makes him part of his inevitable run at the Labour leadership. "Shuffle off to the polling station, you cnut"

It's pretty crazy that UKIP got 13% of the vote at the last election and now have 0 MPs. But then again, they did successfully drag us out of the EU...
