By which I presume you mean he might have been good enough to drag the Tories back into power? God forbid. Forget I ever mentioned him.

Ben Wallace was perhaps that individual, but far too late now.

Badenoch is disgusting in her craven cowardice.

It's obvious that she, Kruger, and any others that jump ship, are transferring their allegiance simply because they want a continued slice of the action- a ride on the gravy train that Reform will offer if they make it to government. Nothing to do with wanting what's best for the country.

Agreed. It's a shame the rest of his party doesn't appear to boast anyone of equal high profile to lend him support. I'd honestly struggle to name any other LibDem MP.

I suppose this *is* good news really, but personally I'm more interested in cheese imports - especially the ones from France. Salivates quietly.

Better than the old "won't vote for anyone who doesn't give me exactly what *I* want and f..k the rest of my fellow humans" attitude.

Economic nonsense? Plse provide relevant quotes - and remember, it's simple to fact check!
