    Will be interesting to see if Labour take part in the new committee. SNP have already said they won’t.

    Angela Rayner shouldn't have apologised for calling the **** ****. They're lower than ****.

    Anyone who thought that this Tory Government might be held to account for its sleaze and corruption is going to be very disappointed. They've just voted to change the rules on parliamentary conduct to save themselves. Any conduct committee will now be chaired by a tory with a majority of tory members on the committee. They've just made themselves judge and jury of parliamentary conduct.

    What worries me is that if an MP from another party finds themselves in front of them. I suspect it won't take much.

    Mundell, Duguid, Bowie, and Lamont, all voted for the corruption to continue. They maybe want a bit of Owen Patterson's £9,000 a month lobbying cash. #corrupttory

    Opposition MP's should troll the hell out if this.

    Enter the House carrying those big "Golf Sale" signs, sandwhich boards with "DFS SOFA DISCOUNTS" on them and hand out flyers for the local Pizza Hut. It's legal now so what's to stop them?

    Even for the Tories this is something else. They've been in power for what, 11 years now? And only now do they decide they aren't happy with the Parliamentary standards process. Its a bit like with Dacre leading OFCOM. If you don't like the result, just change the goal posts.

    The really scary thing is the press and English public don't give a toss. They won't lose a single vote over this.

    They've set fire to the goalposts.

    Lucky we don't have that Corbyn bloke though, imagine the state of the country with him.

    I don't think the Government would have stooped to this if Paterson had just been a regular Tory MP. Reckon it's the fact that he's a staunch Brexiter - 'one of us' - that's been the clincher. Beyond pitiful.

    If I ever commit a crime and end up in court, can I sit on the jury with my best mates too?

    You keep waiting for the moment when the public say "that's quite enough" but it never comes.

    I'm developing a special loathing for the subservient morons down South who will ensure that we continue down the slippery slope that goes with having a government who can act with impunity.

    Starmer actually sounds angry about something. ‘Let’s call this what it is. Corruption’ he says. Good for him, more of it please.

    I nearly said shameless, but they're beyond that. In the circles they move in they are actually pretty smug and maybe even proud about what they can do and what large slices of the country have allowed them to do.

    Two fingers to people who live on the wage that goes with their job and haven't got their snouts in the lobbying trough.

    What next? Subversion of the pandemic enquiry and any investigation into the awarding of contracts would be my guess.

    Or maybe you should be asking yourself why you're not angrier.

    I’ll be very open, I have as much disdain for the gullible fools who are prepared to defend this lot as anyone else.

    Your ‘opinion’ is literally of no interest to me, neither is your warped perception of me.

    Yeah. Let's keep calm and pliant, people. It's just Tories doing what they do. What exactly did you expect?

    It’s simply not possible to be a Hibby and a Tory. We were founded off the back of immigration to our fine city, from working class backgrounds. We were one of the first teams to play a proud part in intercontinental competition. We are an inclusive club who have welcomed players of all skin colours. We give a helping hand up to those in our community who are less fortunate and we thank our NHS. This is not the sort of thing the Conservative party stand for.

    I’m sure we have Tories in the crowd who think it’s jolly good fun to go to the football for the day and may even join in with the songs, but if they really did “know their history” they’d never be a Tory in the first place.

    To be honest if you're not angry about what happened today then you are accepting of elected politicians being paid to potentially ignore their constituents needs for the benefit of the companies who are paying them. That is not democracy in any way. I would suggest that anyone who continually sticks up for Tories is the one who is embarrassing

    40 years of Tory monetary policy. The result of which is the siphoning upwards of cash. 1% earn/own 20% of the wealth, 10% earn/own 53% of the wealth.

    No one can think they have the interests of the remaining 90% in mind.

    I think this is a bit like the 'sectarianism' misnomer that exists in Scotland.

    Referring to this as 'sleaze' is wrong. It's corruption and state sanctioned corruption at that.

    Corruption, confidence trick, criminal act, deceit, thievery, skimming, pauchle, fraud, at the fiddle, nicking, bribery: all apt and true, not just today but for decades.

    "Sleaze" should be reserved for things like getting caught snorting posh out of a rent-boy/prostitutes belly button, which is good old fashioned harmless stuff compared to the current rapaciousness.
