I was curious as to why theh didn’t mention his party, turns out he doesn’t have one, but is an ex-Conservative
Elected as a Conservative, he had the whip withdrawn in May 2025, and now sits as an independent.

your conservatives push people out of the party rather than elevating their position within it??? wow so different arcross the pond.

Yeah, it depends on the transgression.
If it’s transphobia and sucking up to billionaires or the Israeli state, you get promoted.
If it’s something that is actually viewed as a crime then it’s more like this… sometimes.
The message is “you weren’t good enough at hiding your crimes, you’re making us look bad”. Many of them often know about those transgressions, but they’ll only distance themselves if they come out to the public.

It was kinda like that over here last millenia but I swear now they are impressed when someone annouces their crimes for all to see or maybe better yet denies them when they are on like video and double down on their denials. They seem to feel if they can do them out in the open they are even more alpha. hur. hur.
