  • I agree with that. Apparently what pushed the South Bury guy over the edge was the whips threatening him with re-districting which would have removed his seat anyway, so very much a nothing to lose scenario for him (if he didn't fall into line like a good boy).

  • Plus he only beat the Labour candidate by 0.8% in 2019 and could probably see the writing on the wall for the next election.

    I hope he's not reselected. On the plus side:

    It was reported in The Times on 5 November 2021 that Wakeford approached Owen Paterson and called him "a cunt", after the Government, under the instruction of prime minister Boris Johnson, instructed its MPs to vote to change rules on the way MPs' conduct is policed.
