I wonder if it will appear on You Tube?

But the Daily Telegraph is the Tory Bible.

I can't see them having a political agenda, surely?

Forget Big Brother, and the soaps.

This fiasco could prove to be the big show to watch this summer.

Maybe, but he still there....and because labour won't field a candidate..there he will stay...Not a quitter just a very clever politition.
Lots of free publicity.....I'll go along with that...not spin...reality.

And he'll be on the back benches and has given up a very cushy job as Home Secretary.

In the shadows...........but not for long

theres more to this that meets the eye.this was another ploy to try and discredit gordon brown but its going to backfire big time .all they need is a victim of terrorism to stand as an independant and hes down and out because his seat has more traditional and right wing tory voters and it will just take one person to oust him put it this way there wont be any shortage of sponsors for the independant thats going to stand.people must know somebody is going to stand against him and why the liberals or labour are not going to stand against him so its going to be a 2 horse race and he will be humiliated.so really by people think he is being smart now will find out he is really stupid.

I think the text should represent HIS priorities. Did he consult his constituents ?

BERNADETTE · 12-06-2008, 21:52

I see it as playground behaviour, resigning and then being a candidate in the by-election his resignation has caused. Hope he gets beat
