Detestable Tory part : 23142187429184 Ex-Tory East Dunbartonshire council leader Andrew Polson charged over 'electoral fraud' | The National
5 hrs ago
THE Conservative former leader of East Dunbartonshire council has been charged with alleged electoral offences, police have confirmed.
Andrew Polson co-led the council with LibDem councillor Vaughan Moody from 2018 to 2022, taking over after an SNP minority administration collapsed in 2012.
Police Scotland have confirmed he and his wife Aileen Polson were arrested and charged with offences under the Representation of the People Act 1983 earlier this month.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...oters-new-poll
Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives have overturned Labour’s lead in terms of who voters trust most to manage the economy, a new poll for the Observer has revealed.
The new prime minister is currently drawing up tax rises and spending cuts designed to fill a £40bn fiscal hole left by Liz Truss’s disastrous time in Downing Street, with warnings that any significant attempt to cut Whitehall budgets will lead to huge pressure on public services. It comes with new analysis revealing that freezing public service spending would save £20bn but would also lead to a return to the austerity of the 2010s.
Horrible debate this really vile stuff.

Surely, he must have realised there would be a backlash against him for abandoning his constituents like there was for Dugdale.

Rishi Sunak says he’s on “same page” as Suella Braverman on cutting immigration.
Reminder: the Home Secretary revived a previous Tory pledge to reduce net migration to tens of thousands of people.
She also said it was her “dream” to see a flight take asylum seekers to Rwanda
Without being overly alarmist, I think that Braverman's comments are as close to a " Rivers of Blood" moment in the modern age.Quote:

The Commons standards committee has recommended that Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen be suspended for five sitting days over his “careless and cavalier attitude" towards rules on lobbying.
The damning report found that Bridgen had failed to declare his relevant interests in the companies Mere Plantations “during eight emails to ministers and in five meetings with ministers or public officials”, despite having "received registrable financial benefits" from the company.
"Mr Bridgen has breached the rules of the House on registration, declaration and paid lobbying on multiple occasions and in multiple ways," the report found."Each of these breaches could have led us to recommend a suspension from the service of the House. "Mr Bridgen has demonstrated a very cavalier attitude to the House’s rules on registration and declaration of interests, including repeatedly saying that he did not check his own entry in the register."

I guess the surge isn't that surprising when you consider that English is the global language, work is relatively easy to find and the UK grants over 75% of asylum claims compared to an EU average of 34%.
One aspect of this I'm struggling to understand is why so many young Albanian men appear to be making the journey (1-2 per cent of the adult male population of the country apparently). Is persecution especially rife there? I thought Albania were currently attempting to join the EU.

The problem is that the 40k this year have, naturally, been accessing the UK via its closest point to Europe. If they were arriving at various ports around the country then yes, it would dilute the impact of such numbers arriving. That's where I think some allowances can be made for the pressure those trying to implement a workable system are under. How would Scotland cope if, say, Fraserburgh was the nearest UK access point for migrant boats?Quote:

David Cameron predicted 6 years ago in that if we pulled out of our agreements with the EU there would be 50,000 people arriving at our shores in such a manner. So this version of the govt who have been in power for 12 years have had plenty warning.
