Last year I called Jeremy Corbyn the new Maggie. I don’t suppose that will be appearing on the side of a Labour election battle bus any time soon. A pity. The Twitterstorm that would have followed would have been such fun. So let’s see if I can be even more provoking this year.

If the ERG vote down Brady having voted down the Deal and Cooper and Grieve pass they will have opened the way to BINO which would be more likely than No Deal0

Hopefully the suspended sentence is over 12 months (I think that pushes her out ?)0

How long, though?TheScreamingEagles said:She's got a suspended sentence.

This judge could get a job writing for Eastenders, with plot twists in every sentence. It would be a nightmare for betting in-running though.0

He pleaded guilty - for a start. She continues to deny it.Pulpstar said:

That alone makes it hard to believe how she got a lesser sentence. Plus being a solicitor, she knew the consequences of her actions and the law involved.
This is a mockery of justice.0 -
Maybe she'll be allowed to vote by proxy.Pulpstar said:

Depends, normally curfews are 7pm to 7am, however if the person is in gainful employment (or a carer, or has medical needs) the curfews can be much shorter.Polruan said:

If Onasanya appeals, that will run the risk of a longer sentence, won't it?0

LOL! So there will be a bye election?0

Yep, the system is certainly biased in favour of people who can afford a good lawyer.Sean_F said:

She'll be out in time for the by-election!0

I don't think her being black has a tin of beans to do with her sentence, OTOH it has probably made her brother's more severe because he is a young black man.
The leniency is due to the judge being a bleeding lefty halfwit.0
