A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

To be fair, they’re losing MPs at a much faster rate.

- half expelled/suspended
- a quarter resigned from council
- some defected
An "unusual rate" of attrition in 6 months, says Tony Travers
