I heard someone this morning ( Chris Bryant I think ) say that if Johnson stands as a candidate and gets re-elected as an MP the sanctions would still be in place - presumably because he slunk off this time - which would mean a potential recall and a by election.If I was Boris I would stay away from the Trump playbook ... it's not working out very well for Trump!!
God, I really hope he's gone for good and takes all his nutcase disciples with him.

He's working at SpecSavers.Old Cummings has been quiet ... it's unnerving. Anyone know what he's up to these days?
The hairdresser was particularly egregious, his hair always looks tit.Some of the croneyism rewarding by Boris here would make Putin blush.
The fact that it's so vague is so amusing to meA Police Scotland statement said: "A 52-year-old woman has today, Sunday, 11 June, 2023, been arrested as a suspect in connection with the ongoing investigation into the funding and finances of the Scottish National Party."
The BBC article quotes her spokeswoman, and I can't tell if 'by arrangement with Police Scotland' means she agreed in advance to the arrest today or if it's just PR bullshit for 'she didn't argue when they came to arrest her'I don’t think they say much until there’s actually charges being brought…Although going out of their way to arrest her on a Sunday would suggest they’ve gathered enough on her?

The spokeswoman said: "Nicola Sturgeon has today, Sunday 11 June, by arrangement with Police Scotland, attended an interview where she was to be arrested and questioned in relation to Operation Branchform.
"Nicola has consistently said she would cooperate with the investigation if asked and continues to do so."
Looks like she had no choice in the matter there must be charges pending .I don’t think they arrest you for questioning unless they’ve got evidence of wrongdoing?? She would be under caution wouldn’t she? They didn’t arrest her husband, did they?The BBC article quotes her spokeswoman, and I can't tell if 'by arrangement with Police Scotland' means she agreed in advance to the arrest today or if it's just PR bullshit for 'she didn't argue when they came to arrest her'

I can’t really remember, I thought they only brought him in for questioning then released him pending further enquiries? Looks like it official with her , maybe she’ll make a press statement later.Yeah I think you're right!
Apparently they arrested then released him back in April around the time of the front garden digging-up (per the BBC?)
I’ve only skimmed the news stories but I think there was a very expensive motor home under investigation ,maybe that was one of the purchases from the missing money?![]()

if this is about misspending donations meant for the independence campaign, what's the caravan got to do with it? is it also a bit convenient that she announced two days ago that she's only just passed her driving theory too?
