Another by-election in the offing? – politicalbetting.com
Whoever this is, and we must assume that the name will come out at some stage, it is hard to see the individual concerned remaining as an MP. As well as being totally stupid because of the chances of getting caught this comes at a time when all aspects of the behavior of male MPs in relation to women are becoming a serious political issue.

Seems like desperation from the Mail
Even Jared O'Mara didn't actually resign.
You almost have to admire this level of shamelessness.
Thought experiment: let's assume you have a small child, and a potential babysitter with no criminal record but out on bail and about to be tried for serious sexual offences. Innocent until proven guilty?
“Subject to a point which we make below, there was nothing unlawful in the policy on
discharges from NHS hospitals contained in the documents of 17-19 March 2020. The
fact that as matters turned out the NHS was not overwhelmed and its expanded
capacity was never breached, a point laboured by Mr Coppel, does not assist his
argument on this issue. The Government was advised by experts that there was a real risk of the NHS being overwhelmed and it could not afford to wait to see whether that
advice was over-cautious.“
The unlawful part was that, quoting someone on twitter only, that “the drafters of the policy didn’t take into account the need to quarantine asymptomatic discharged patients, so that that they would be kept away from other care home residents.” which was unreasonable to a point of unlawfulness.
So fail to see why this leads to a by election?
There was a fear of hospitals being ovrrwhelmed by admissions, but also of risk to vulnerable patients of hospital acquired covid. An element of the discharge policy was to protect these vulnerable patients.
The way it was implemented was wrong though. They should have been tested, or at least gone into quarantine on arrival. A difficult PPE situation in the care homes though.
They might have been caught reading PB!
Not a resigning issue and no path to a by-election.
However, I highly doubt, unless the material is illegal, it will come to more than the person being publicly embarrassed and being anonymous backbencher. I could see some sort of mea culpa about being a sex accident.
Starmer called getting a fine for lockdown breach a resigning matter. But then when he said that no one expected Boris to get a fine for the cake ambush, which wasn’t a lockdown party at all, which appears an identical event with the same DNA to SKS Takeaway Blow out in many ways, does it not?
So looked at again, and treated on a par with Boris cake ambush moment, Starmer is in serious trouble here isn’t he?

Last warning. Respond to my email or it's the ban hammer for you.
Johnson blabs dangerous secret. NZR all over again.
But he had to go and get all sanctimonious for sanctimony's sake, didn't he?
Pillock.

From fizzled Tories to frazzled Lovies, from nasty Nats to ludicrous LibDems, from clapped-out Kippers to superannuated Fenians, we can all use a welcome escape from the cares of current realities, into the surreal wonders of by-election Britain!
Imagine yourself nursing a warm beer as you watch some wolds or whatever fly by the window, check-by-jowl with a busload of "tired and emotional" PBers exploring the finer points of anglo-caesaro-papist theology, extraterrestrial transport or the Midlothian Question.
Hit the road, JackW!
If so, this is the Daily Mail grossly sucking up to the lying government. But what can you expect from the purveyors of “hurrah for the blackshirts”?
I remember because the very moment the opportunity arose I hotfooted it to Devon. I just checked and that was the after the 12 April.
So the Mail (and the Tories quoted it the article - like Nadine Dorries, and the PB Tories hoping for a pile on - like Marquee Mark) are talking shite.
All I did was flag up the facts, it was lockdown, it was a gathering of too many people, food and alcohol was involved. Personally I do not think it’s quite the same thing as the birthday party nut nut organised for her big dog, but then truth is, the one Sunak and Boris has been done for was presumed to be the more fleeting and small fry of the actual party gatherings, so a surprise they couldn’t get off with it. The reopening of Starmer’s case comes after the knowledge MET issued notices for this smaller of the Downing Street work gatherings with food and alcohol. It’s not the repeated proper partying that has caused the Downing street scandal, but we will just have to wait if the reopened investigation deems it a breach of the rules based on the tough yardstick now set by… the yard.
Actually the main big political revelation of the evening imo is the Javid story. His defence has been it was before he was in politics, the life entitled before politics. If true, this now places him as an MP in the treasury no less. What could be damaging is, it looks like he hadn’t told the truth.
The other big political story of the evening is the UK foreign Secretary dramatically resetting in stone the UK war aims. She is not grand standing, this has obviously been cleared at every level of government. It’s a key shift because it means the West are now open in wanting the war to go on until Russia is kicked out Ukraine completely, not something Russia will accept.
But do you agree with my analysis, thinking have indeed moved subtly, shifted from support to Ukraine from a West expecting a short war, to the West settling in comfortably now planning for a very long campaign.
