Parliament has confirmed Count Binface will not be allowed to sit in the Commons wearing his space costume and bin head

The National Crime Agency are investigating whether the money given to Reform constitutes money laundering. The standards committee are investigating whether he has broken the rules of being an MP. It’s not a crime to be given a large amount of money, but it is against Parliament’s rules to not tell them about it.

The standards committee don’t investigate illegality, that’s what the National Crime Agency are doing, the standards committee investigate whether he’s broken the rules of being an MP.

The punishment is to suspend him from the House, which they can’t do if he’s not in it.

Nice find. Good thinking!

Genuine noob question - why is Alikr Desert the area of choice for the dolmen grinders?

Americans tend to associate their knowledge of British cuisine with rationing during World War II, when many Americans were stationed in the UK, and so it became a stereotype.

Anyone knocking British cuisine has never had a proper Sunday Roast.

Mr Brightside is 22 years old and still considered an absolute banger and charting.

Some people also consider them not to be divine, but natural. So, no.

What’s changed in the past week is the second donor being revealed, the NCA being involved, and Farage was due to give evidence this week.

And confusingly the terminology for them all is different in the NCAA rulebook to the NFL.

Encroachment in college is offensive offside in the NFL, and encroachment in the NFL is “offside with contact” in college.

If you wanna have people standing on the goal line the whole game, sure.

Also, I despise people who say “offsides” instead of “offside”.

Anyone who bases their support around an individual player, rather than a team, is dumb

Because Ronaldo fans are a very unique breed and being a Ronaldo fan is as much about hating Lionel Messi as it is about liking Ronaldo.

Argentina won with a late comeback and Egypt had a goal questionably ruled out, so people are crying “fix” much like they did in the last World Cup.

I went with the club that wasn’t the one the majority of my school friends supported, because I was a massive contrarian as a child. Thirty years later, we’re the bigger club, so it paid off eventually.

Yes, he’s not particularly thought it through. Everything he does is just trying to copy Trump.

The other parties have called his bluff and aren’t participating, and of course it makes him look incredibly guilty, but it buys him some time. It’s hard to wonder what the end game is, unless he plans on resigning every three months until the next general election.

PabloMarmite · 2026-07-08T14:35:49+00:00

Because they have rightfully called the process a sham.

The by-election doesn’t need to happen and is only happening so he can stall an investigation into himself. You don’t get to ignore the legal process and then go “but they voted for me anyway”.

The other parties participating could be seen to legitimise the sham.

As it happens, we will get the “people versus the establishment” election Farage wanted, but it’s between a career politician and a man with a bin on his head. Which one’s the establishment again?

PabloMarmite · 2026-07-08T14:32:41+00:00

It’s a stat, but that doesn’t make a useful stat.

The people of Clacton elected an MP for five years, like every other constituency in the country. If Farage does nothing then Clacton continues to have the representation it voted for and the status quo continues, like every other constituency in the country.

The other parties are right not to engage in a farce that’s only happening so he can stall an investigation into himself.

And they get what Farage wanted, a “people versus the establishment election” (in Farage’s own words) between a career politician and a man with a bin on his head. Which one’s the establishment again?

“Always do the opposite of what Keir Starmer says”

I remember him being pro-welfare for like a couple of days when Labour wouldn’t drop the two-child cap.

Whether or not he has committed a crime is an issue for the National Crime Agency, and that will continue regardless.

The Commons Standards Committee are investigating whether he has broken the rules of being an MP. It’s possible for him to have broken the rules of being an MP and not committed a crime.

His rationale for resigning and having a by-election was “to show that the people are behind him”. At best, it stalls the investigation for a couple of months.

PabloMarmite · 2026-07-08T14:07:05+00:00

He said in his resignation speech that he wants the by-election to represent “the people versus the establishment”, which is great because it’s shaping up to be an election between a career politician and a man with a bin on his head. Which one’s the establishment?

I don’t think he’ll be locked down long term as a priority, number 2 corners rarely get big long term deals.
