Well, this has long been expected! She becomes the fourth sitting Tory MP to join the party since the last election, and the third this month, alongside Robert Jenrick and Andrew Rosindell. The defection brings Reform’s current tally of MPs to eight.

Andy Burnham’s bid to return as MP blocked by Labour’s ruling body

Interesting. This decision will come back to haunt Two-Tier Keir. He’ll be gone after the May local elections, if not before. The start of the BBC piece:

Andy Burnham has been blocked from standing as a candidate for an upcoming parliamentary by-election in Gorton and Denton by Labour’s ruling body.

As a directly elected mayor, Burnham had to get approval from Labour’s national executive committee (NEC), after he applied to be a candidate on Saturday.

But Labour said the party had decided to deny Burnham permission to stand to “avoid an unnecessary mayoral election, which would use substantial amounts of taxpayers’ money and resources that are better spent tackling the cost-of-living crisis”.

Green Party in legal battle with ex-member Emma Bateman, 58, suspended for mocking ‘fairy’ pronouns fae/faer

Our thanks to Nigel for this. An extract:

She [J4MB: Bateman] also coined the phrase “cognitive cis-connance” – a play on cognitive dissonance – and mocked the idea “that every time someone says men are not women, a person with fairy pronouns literally dies.”

The disciplinary committee wasn’t impressed, noting she’d read out party policy on trans identities “in a clearly overtly sarcastic fashion” that drew boos from the crowd. [J4MB: At Speakers’ Corner in 2022.]
