Historically, flag shagging and punching down don’t seem as popular in Scotland as they are in England. I think you’ll be alright.

They’ll make the next government because everyone hates the others.
But then everyone will also hate them.

20 quid says reform will not form any part of the next UK government.
These MPs fall like dominoes…dominoooooes.

I have no idea why I know those lyrics because I just googled them and they say it’s a Nicki Minaj song and I’ve never listened to her music in my life. 
A Reform MP has suspended himself from the party after a Sunday Times investigation into £70,000 of loans he took out during the pandemic.
James McMurdock, the MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock, took the decision after this newspaper approached him with allegations he borrowed tens of thousands of pounds under the government’s Bounce Back loans scheme in 2020.
He did so through two companies he owned. One was JAM Financial Limited, which had no employees and negligible assets until the pandemic. In 2020 it took out a loan of £50,000, the maximum sum available under the loans scheme available for medium-sized businesses during the pandemic. For a firm to have received such a loan, it would have needed to report turnover of at least £200,000.
In 2021 McMurdock transferred his shares in the company to his mother and resigned as director.
The other was Gym Live Health and Fitness Limited, which was dormant until January 31, 2020. Over the following year it borrowed £20,000, which would have required a turnover of £100,000 under the Bounce Back scheme.
Neither company filed accounts or annual corporate filings after the loans — a violation of the Companies Act.
As a result of the failure to submit the information required, both companies were due to be struck off the register, meaning they would have ceased to exist and any remaining assets would have been seized by the Crown.
However, in February 2023, on the same day, the process of suspending both companies was halted after the company regulator received an objection from a third party. It is understood this related to the loans in some way. Both remain active on Companies House.
Separately, McMurdock appears to have breached parliamentary rules by failing to list his directorship of Gym Live Health and Fitness Limited on his register of interests. Parliamentary rules state MPs must register “significant, formal unpaid roles such as an unpaid directorship, a directorship of a company not currently trading, or a trusteeship”.
Approached for comment, McMurdock warned “be very, very careful” and said “a technical expert” would be needed for anybody to understand the matters. He repeatedly refused to say why he took out the loans.
Lee Anderson, the chairman of Reform UK, said: “I have today received a call from James McMurdock who has advised me, as chief whip, that he has removed the party whip from himself pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations that are likely to be published by a national newspaper.” It is understood that the party will now launch its own inquiry.

I’m not sure a technical expert is required here James 
It looks very bad for reform but he’s no great loss tbh.
This guy has always been a liability for Reform, there’s a reason why they don’t put him on media comms despite the likes of GB news and Talk TV bending over to carry water for Reform.
They made such a meal about him turning his life around after battering a ex gf only to get exposed for pandemic fraud lol
I have zero confidence in their ability to vet candidates

Won’t stop them getting in.
Linda McMahon is in charge of US education, or was.
She didn’t have to get elected mind.
The culture of grooming gang cover-ups in the Labour Party didn’t stop them getting elected either. The British public is ignorant as fuck.
I thought there was already an enquiry, which made lots of recommendations.
yeah, but I don’t know what your point is?
