He's always been thoroughly awful, about as cheering to see as a shrivelled bollock hanging out an old man's shorts. Might pop him in the wishlist section for Deathlist 2024.

As a place name Wellingborough sounds like the most tory place EVER

 

[Lucille]

20k majority! Not that that means much THESE DAYS!

Wellingborough isn’t far from where I work. It’s a bit of a shithole only noteworthy for Karaoke Karen who used to dance in a business suit in the town centre every day for YEARS. Dead now, of course.

 

[Lucille]

Omg I love her.

 

[Finn]

May her memory be a blessing

Someone commission a Netflix biopic.

Actually a good excuse to resign

That can’t be right. He probably has a cushy lobbying job lined up in the nuclear industry.

Although it's hard to know which way things will go Come the General Election as the Kingswood constituency is being abolished and split three ways. Part is being lumped in with most of Rees-Mogg's North East Somerset to become North East Somerset and Hanham (bringing him ever closer to me ), part into the newly revived Bristol North East (along with parts of Bristol East and Bristol North West, both currently Labour), and the remainder into Filton and Bradley Stoke (Conservative, Jack Lopresti).

 

[lolly]

This is interesting though. I didn't realise Rees-Mogg is at such risk. Not sure if it's as a result of the boundary change or not.

New Seat Details - Somerset North East and Hanham

The Tories have just announced their candidate for this by-election... Peter Bone's much younger girlfriend.

 

[Lucille]

Ew.

 

[SvalaWuzRobbed]

Gross. This reminds me of a Tory MP in a constituency near me (and former Disabilities Minister) who I understand left his wife who was undergoing cancer treatment for a 19-year-old staffer

 

[VoR]

What a mess



Love that they keep getting FUCKED OVER by their own cuntishness.

 

[Madison]

(Why can’t Tweet aggregators link to the actual source tweet? Bloody parasites)

 

[lolly]

The Tories have got the big guns out in Kingswood. As I said above, part of the existing seat will be moving into Rees-Mogg's new seat with the boundary changes and the abolition of Kingswood.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The polls show Labour's lead growing there.

Also

 

[dmlaw]

Imagine living in a seat that is so terrible that the presence of Jacob Rees-Mogg is considered a bonus.

 

[Shoat]

Clearly Kingswood voters are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and need UN extraction ASAP

Labour MP Sir Tony Lloyd dies 'peacefully at home'

That people use different voices for different audiences.

Doesn’t this happen to most people who move to work in London? Just listening to an interview with Angela Rayner reverts me.

Can we please just be left to BASH LABOUR IN PEACE without ENTIRELY REASONABLE POINTS BEING MADE?

Thank you.

It happens to me without even leaving the city.

I switch to much more of a local accent when I'm talking to family, or clients than I do than if I'm talking with friends without broad accents, or with colleagues.

It's an automatic thing after all these years, but it is still a choice if you can easily switch in and out of it.

One of my colleagues pointed out she could always tell if been back home for the weekend as some of the accent came back
