Unicorns fart glitter.
The details sound vry-tory:
Peer faces year’s ban from Lords bars for bullying two people while drunk
Kulveer Ranger resigns Tory whip after committee also recommends suspension from House of Lords for three weekswww.theguardian.com
One of depiffles advisors!
“Another witness recalled overhearing Ranger tell the complainants to “think about who they might be ****ing talking to” and that they should “do their ****ing research”.
He was seen grabbing the parliamentary passes the complainants were wearing around their necks in an “aggressive” manner, before asking who they worked for”.
The levels of entitlement and self-importance. Reminds of this hands-on sort of scum:

Tory MP Johnny Mercer has admitted in The Times that voter ID categories were deliberately stacked to deter students from voting and veterans were denied using their ID cards as that would ”open the floodgates“ to students using student union cards etc. This policy was exactly the far-right gerrymandering we thought at the time.
Good Law Project are on the case:
”Let us not overlook @JohnnyMercerUK's central point: the idea that those who have made an enormous sacrifice for the country should be inhibited from voting so that students can also be inhibited is utterly and multiply abhorrent.
We have instructed multiple KCs and leading academics to identify viable challenges to what logic dictates is a deliberate attempt to reshape the voting franchise for political gain. The failure of the law to protect the franchise is exactly that - a failure of the law.“

Accuphase all the way down
Lots of speculation today about an imminent announcement from Cabinet Office. Possibly 'just' a reshuffle, but maybe a date for the GE. 4 July has been mooted on the Westminster rumour mill, apparently, but more likely 'after the Summer'. Cabinet Meeting this afternoon, lots of talk that an announcement will come soon after. Radio silence from No.10.
Jim jones mass suicide plan i hope.

4th July? It could be our independence day! From democracy, that is...

A work colleague is Chairman of his local Conservative district. He told me a couple of weeks ago that the party has booked and payed for their annual conferences so no election until mid/late October at the earliest.

They could still have a conference as an opposition party, surely. Like, oh I don't know, Labour, the LibDems and the Greens do. Sounds like chaff, to me.
Also, they surely won't want to go electioneering/campaigning directly after the conference season, will they?

In fairness after a general election the Tories will only need to book a small gazebo somewhere as a conference hall, no need to lockdown half of Manchester.

Greater Westminster (ie including the media) has had a few febrile fits on the election date and this is probably just the latest. I still think it's October or November.

Agreed. The sooner the election the sooner the Tory crime spree comes to an end. They can take us all for £bns between now and November, and they will. This is who they are.

This one seems to have more fuelling it, though. Cameron was recalled 2 hours after landing in foreign parts, for example.

The only plausible reason for an early election I can think of is if Sunak considers his dethroning before the election a realistic risk. And that's not especially plausible as he easily survived the local elections fallout. Otherwise, what's the benefit to going early?
