Just prior to Lee Anderson’s resignation, a senior Conservative MP told me: “He’s wanted an ‘out’ of the party for ages. He just needed an excuse -an issue which allowed him to resign as a martyr of the right like Suella did.” “He is not a true Conservative and he knows that.”

He’s no longer a Conservative MP. He’s Independent as he lost the whip over his fleeting dabble in reality TV. Speaking about how the Conservatives should connect with young people whilst not a Conservative, comes across more critically than it would had he still been a member.

Losing the whip is often associated with shame and not meant to be seen as a positive (it’s effectively a punishment!) so it’s interesting to see that Hancock has not taken it this way. Instead, he is citing ‘freedom’ - in a similar to way to Andrew Bridgen.

The SNP are urging Labour (rather than the Conservatives) to back their immediate ceasefire motion. Without backing from the Conservatives, the motion won’t pass, making it meaningless in any sense other than ‘messaging’.

This week, the SNP in Westminster will present a motion urging the Parliament to back an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Starmer & Labour must back it - anything other than an immediate ceasefire will mean the deaths of innocent Palestinians will continue.

@DeeAisha If you go on the article the time stamp still says 12:53! Think it stays the same as is the time it was originally uploaded not the time a change was made

NEW: Lee Anderson admits to press huddle he was “throwing you lot off the scent” when he formally denied he was planning to join Reform. A new one for the lexicon. Asked why he lied he said “that’s politics darling”.

To clarify, we don’t yet know for certain WHAT this bet was on, as seems uncertain how a Labour candidate would have prior intel about the election date. Rumoured to be on the outcome of his constituency result rather than the date of election, but awaiting confirmation.

Few things on Cameron: For many, a respected politician who signifies the last moment of sanity before a few years of Conservative upheaval. For others, the architect of austerity and the man responsible for Brexit and the instigator of said upheaval.
