Who could possibly have seen the Pincher scandal coming after he... already previously had to stand down from a government job due to previous allegations of the same nature? I'm surprised there wasn't more backlash to him being re-appointed in the first place. (Unless there was and I just forgot about it)

Kind of hilarious that after so many scandals the thing that finally brings down Boris is a groping scandal involving someone named Pincher.

I don't remember a fuss so I think it just slipped under the radar when a whole raft of new people got ministerial jobs.

I hear that Johnson will have resignation honours to give and one will likely go to Vote Leave CEO. Like why should this failure of a man get to award these and why does this country allow this utter shit to go on?

Sunak has announced he is standing to be Tory leader to restore trust etc but how on earth can he do that when he played such a pivotal role in the Johnson government?

Among the new ministers are Peter Bone(head) who has never shown the slightest evidence of any intelligence and Andrea Jenkyns who gave the middle finger to the press yesterday and has been made an education minister. Both will almost certainly lose their jobs when the new PM takes over but will receive three months' salary as a pay-off. Neither of them will need to do much actual work in the few weeks of their "ministerial" career.

The gift that keeps giving: Tory MP's.

Latest one fined for £2500 and banned from driving for a year for leaving the scene of an accident - a rural village quiet road, hit a telegraph pole to "avoid hitting a cat". Apparently claiming PTSD and being scared by the 2 people trying to help and who rang the police to attend.

Presumably nothing to do with trying to drive a powerful Mercedes in high heels, then, cos that's always a good idea from a health & safety point of view. Forward-planning advice: keep a pair of trainers in your car. Run over the cat if it's you or the cat. Drive very slowly round narrow village streets at night so as not to run over cats.

Cue another by-election then?

I assume if it’s a rural village it’s a safe seat?

Well, not safe inasmuch as Bridgend was Labour until 2019, and not safe inasmuch as Jamie Wallis be able to drive again in 6 months and could easily take out passing pedestrians if footwear continues to be an issue while driving.

He's a real charmer: Wikipedia

Motoring offences[edit]
In February 2022, Wallis was fined £270 and received three points on his driving licence after pleading guilty to an offence in August 2021 of "failure to comply with solid white line road markings" on the A48.[25]

On 28 November 2021, Wallis was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit after a car collided with a lamppost in Llanblethian, Vale of Glamorgan.[26] On 30 March 2022, he said that he had "fled the scene" of the car collision due to having a form of post-traumatic stress disorder after being raped in September 2021.[4] In April 2022, Wallis was charged with failing to stop following a road traffic collision, failure to report a road traffic collision, careless driving and leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position.[27] On 10 May 2022, Wallis pleaded not guilty to the four traffic offences in a hearing at Cardiff Magistrates' Court.[28]

On Monday 11 July 2022 at a trial at Cardiff Magistrates Court, Wallis was found guilty of failing to stop and report an accident, leaving his car in a dangerous position, but cleared of driving without due care and attention. The court heard that Wallis was "wearing a black leather mini-skirt and high heels" when he fled the scene of the crash, and that police "forced entry into the Wallis' family home address which was described as a 'mansion' and 'absolutely colossal', out of concern for the MP."[29] He was fined £2,500 and disqualified from driving for six months. Presiding, District Judge Tan Ikram said he "didn't find the defendant credible".[29] The judge said "I am sure he was not prevented through PTSD to giving details or particulars and report the accident soon after, he made a decision he didn't want to be there, and made a decision to ring his father. Through all of that period he could have rang 999 or 101, he didn't. I am sure he didn't through a conscious choice, not through being overwhelmed or acting irrationally."[29]

and..

Career before politics[edit]
Wallis is one of the owners of a company called Fields Holdings Limited, the parent company of Action Direct (UK) Limited, a former claims management company of which Wallis was a director in 2011[10] when the Ministry of Justice banned it from taking on any further employment claims work, following an investigation into the company's conduct.[11][12]

In July 2010, a Freedom of Information request (2417) was made to Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) asking how many complaints or referrals to Trading Standards had been made about a Field House associated company Rapid Data Recovery Ltd, which returned the response that between 1 January 2009 and mid-2010, 37 complaints had been received, a figure which included associated companies. In January 2020, after being elected to Parliament, Wallis threatened to take legal action against BCBC over the matter under the Freedom of Information Act.[13][14]

Political career[edit]
Wallis was a member of Pencoed town council, representing the Hendre ward, until 2018, when he was disqualified for non-attendance. He later stated that he had resigned from the council by letter, but the council had not received the letter.[15] He said that his reason for resigning was that he had relocated to Cowbridge, where he joined the town council.[16]

Before he was elected as MP for Bridgend in 2019, he had stood unsuccessfully in Ogmore in the 2017 United Kingdom general election and Ogmore in the 2016 National Assembly for Wales election. At the 2019 general election he defeated incumbent Labour MP Madeleine Moon, who had represented Bridgend since 2005.

An investigation by BuzzFeed in January 2020 found that Wallis had been a co-owner of a 'sugar daddy' dating website, "which offered students financial relationships with wealthy 'sponsors'". Although Wallis initially denied links to the company, Buzzfeed found that he had been a director and shareholder of the site's parent company.[17] The Labour MP Jess Phillips called for Wallis to be removed.[18][19] Since the 2019 election, Wallis has quit as director of at least seven companies.[20]

So, typical Tory then....

Cause havoc, dodgy company history, and like the TV show about cars, Pimp It Up. I love Jess Phillips BTW, total star.

The appropriately named Kemi Bad ENOCH has had a wonderful endorsement last night - no less than Paul Golding of actual far right Britian First.

Indications she will lose today but sadly whatever happens her stock will rise in the party and she will be the champion of "anti woke" loved by the GB News/Daily Mail crowd and put pressure on whoever gets the gig to go fiurther to the right.

So last PM's question time. Didn't watch it (like I always do as can't physically stomach watching the utter twunt) but transcripts say he was as diabolical as usual, throwing childish insults at Starmer (without intervention from our useless speaker Hoyle) and being extremely selective/decietful about his record as PM. And then the Tory MPs who got rid of him gave him a standing ovation.

Anyway NEXT! nocheer.gif nocheer.gif nocheer.gif Or as Cat Burns would say "Pack up your 💩 and go'. Except we'll be left with this despicable man's ruins for years to come.

FFS this leadership race is horrendous. I honestly can’t remember them being this dragged out in the past and it’s just getting worse with each headline. Most of us don’t even get to vote.

So, how the Tories have enabled crooks worldwide to avoid transparency and taxes by not changing the law at all as they promised. They just created a new way of supporting foreign rich crooks to hide money in the UK.

Never believe Tories on anything they say about forcing rich foreigners to be open and honest and taxpaying. They have one rule for rich friends and another rule for plebs. A party that is supported by donations from rich people is only going to care about lying to gain power so they can further the interests of the people that pay for their support.

Liars gonna lie.
