The gentleman in question might be a liberal.

Just a thought like.

Well, being liberal didn't find public disapproval recently in Amersham, North Shropshire and Honiton & Tiverton, did it? lolz
Certainly proved more attractive than being a Tory.

No problem with liberals of the elected variety G2K, it’s their over representation as a part of a self selecting ‘elite’ that bothers and worries me.

Voter ID is not gerrymandering.

The only party guilty of gerrymandering in my memory was perpetrated by a LABOUR government in 1969.

Not a case of national gerrymandering of Parliamentary boundaries.

Interesting shenanigans around the Covid enquiry. It seems the Cabinet Office risks being sent to prison if it does not give Lady Hallet the information she's asked for. What larks...
