Quit/suspended due to sexual assault/allegations seemed to be a running thread 😱
If this channel 4 mouthpiece told the actual truth then the running thread would be anti semetism is rife within the labour party. Managed to throw a couple under the bus as tokens, but failed to mention any of the 9 shadow front bench that quit last November.
Google Labour 25 see how sick they are.
Yeah, and we wonder why we can't get reforms that properly protect women through parliament.

Oh, come on - she has one very clear principle. That Boris Johnson is a sexy, sexy beast.

He opened up his browser to browse tractors for sale but "accidentally" opened a porn website and watched a couple of videos while in the commons

Yeah its insane. The Gaza war is literally a genocide. Glad she's been re-instated as party whip and had all actions reversed. She does not deserve to be on this list at all!
And two Labour mps thrown out for voicing embarrassing truths.
They'll be let back in, don't worry.
Exactly. It's pretty disturbing. Tory politicians get thrown out for lying, Labour politicians get thrown out for telling the truth.
Surely MPs should be held to a higher standard than 'civilians'. Resignation should not protect anyone, especially 'Bojo'.
BoJo ate birthday cake in his office. Whoopdedoo
@@mogznwaz Thank you for replying. That is not why BoJo should be a candidate to 'spend time at his majesty's pleasure'. Is 'ate birthday cake in his office' the *ONLY* wrongdoing you can think of? Do you think MPs should be held to a lower standard than 'civilians'? For example, should MPs go unpunished for actions most of us believe are corruption, fraud or lying to Parliament? Best Wishes. ☮
@@gbulmer I don’t think he was found guilty of anything else. On principle I agree with you, MPs do seem to get away with far more than us plebs
@@gbulmerIf you make it so MPs go to prison for lying to parliament, you make it so they won’t say anything at all. There is a reason why parliamentary privilege exists. MPs need to be free from all legal restrictions on their speech while in parliament or you end up with a situation in which democracy devolves into trying to get the opposition arrested.
@@HALLish-jl5mo Thank you for replying. Misleading Parliament is already an offence. MPs are *NOT* free from all restrictions on their speech while in parliament. Members of Parliament do not have license to say anything without consequence. I am not asking to change that. I am only asking the punishment to be more significant than sacking, and resignation not be protection against punishment. The effects of misleading Parliament by a member of the government can be enormous. Parliament's legislation effects millions of peoples lives. It is sometimes more profound than any civilian lies could be. Lying is, for example, a foundation of fraud. Government fraud might enable £billions of tax payers money to be wasted, or given to fraudsters, and never be recovered. Resignation should not be an adequate defence. Punishment should still be possible. The punishment for lying to parliament needs to have proportionate consequences. If someone is baited into claiming the price of beer in one of Parliament's bars has gone up by 5p, but that isn't true, then the consequences might be minimal, nothing more than acknowledge they were wrong. I'd expect an appeal to the speaker would be enough to minimise 'baiting' in Parliament. If you don't believe in that, I am open to suggestions on how to curtail attempts to cause someone to lie. Punishment for a member of government should be more significant than an MP because they wield more power. Punishment for a member of a shadow cabinet should be more significant than an ordinary MP. Also, the US Constitution's First Amendment protects free speech. However, that does not give the freedom to lie without consequence. There is still the balancing protection of 'Defamation', which can have significant financial consequences. AFAICT, the US does not suffer from significant 'baiting' people to lie, even though the financial benefits may be significant. Best Wishes. ☮

Anyone else find it strange that someone you suspect is a criminal and is hired on the basis of being a criminal is then sacked or has to quit when exposed as one?
It would have been quicker to list the MP’s who haven’t done something horrendous.
They isn't any
@@davidmarchant9386yes that’s the joke
So of all the many ex tory MPs on this list, only 1 (Chris Skidmore) has gone either dignity? The rest, from undiginified or embarrassing at best to scandalous and even criminal at worst? Says it all really!
Errr.... Andrew Bridgen? The guy got ruined, because he refused to stay silent about the government's outrageously incompetent handling of covid.
Didn't Nadine resign when she didn't get a honor.
Wanna know something really backwards, 'the whip' how on earth is such a thing democratic, how is my and others votes for a representative worth anything, if they can be 'convinced' to vote the way someone else think they should, and not the way they want to.
This is quite easy. Suppose a total of 15k people voted for some MP. When an issue is up for voting, those 15k people would be naturally divided on what is the best vote. Also, an MP does not only represent those who actually voted for them but also represent those who did not vote for them, hence the divide could be even more pronounced. The party, therefore, can whip MPs to vote whichever way based on political or ideological considerations and argue that voting for a member of that party sort of means agreeing with that party's agenda. This is especially true if the way to vote has a "mandate" i.e. related to some election promise.
@@tt-ew7rxIn other words, bullsh*t
If you don't want your local MP to be forced to vote one way or another, vote independent, then realise your independent candidate will never win against an established party that has media coverage and money to advertise. These parties have whips because the MPs all know that they wouldn't be in parliament without the party's backing. It's give and take. They get to be in parliament, but sometimes have to vote as their party leadership tells them.
@@doghat1619 Totally agree, thats' why i vote green, they won't win so i suppose they've not had the opportunity to not represent their constitutes but if caroline lucas is anything to go by then thats who i'd want representing me
@@ecknareal If your local Green candidate gets into parliament and the Greens have a multi-MP situation, your local Green MP will still be voting according to party leadership directions. Neither will they be representing every constituent in every vote as constituents disagree on issues most of the time. The idea that a constituency has one voice per issue is unrealistic.
jump before they get pushed by the electorate
what a shower
Charge all of them for participation in a criminal enterprise.
What about the Labour MPs who left to take up positions outside of parliament? Did you watch the video?

Corbyn was absolutely right when he said anti-Semitism in the Labour party was exaggerated. Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitism.
And now we see Gideon, the same person who initiated that smear, strike again with politically motivated stunts to being an end to protests against a genocidal regime that is being completely supported by our government. We live in a clown world

It all sounds terrible, at least Skidmore resigned on a Principle rather than because of a scandal. Need more ppl like that. (Based of the info in this video)
More criminals in Westminster than Wormwood Scrubs.

Like that scene from stars wars where Obi one refers to the town as a hive of villainy and criminals Sums up pretty much every parliamentary office
The next government should pass a law any MP abusing there power a minimum 2 years in jail but with a max of depending on the abuse of 10. Put money on no law ever passing they are all bent.
You missed out Kenny MacAskill and Neale Hanvey who switched from the SNP to Alba when the new party was formed - although Hanvey was suspended from the SNP at the time of the last election so was technically elected as an independent despite all the ballot papers saying he was SNP.

It's the party with avarice at the cornerstone of its ideology. It attracts people who want power because they're the party that has been in power the longest and its the party with the press onside. Its also the party with the wealthiest donors.
@@pallascat1743 It's not the past which matters, it's the future. I think we've reached the point where "no such thing as bad publicity" is ceasing to matter, they no longer represent conservative values, which are proactive with a vision of virtue. The problem is that unbridled prosperity is a recipe for inflation, the excess wealth has to be channelled productively. Sunak's critique of social services is rooted in the latter word, but it ignores the devastated morale his lack of leadership has caused coming out of the Covid period.
Boris, Crispin, Julian and Nadine too.
Have you watched the video?
We don't have a cue full of saints ready to take the job.
And who said British Politics in the early decades of the 21st Century would be boring!!
Here's how many from each party, and that number as a percentage of their total seats as of GE 2019 20 Tories, 5% 12 Labour, 6% 3 SNP, 6% 1 Plaid, 25% 1 DUP, 13% 8 of the Tories went due to sexual misconduct (dependant on definition) compared to 3 Labour MPs, and the 1 DUP MP/leader. Also to note, 3 of the Tories (out of 20) and 3 of Labour (out of 12) left out of choice, as well as 1 out of the 3 SNP MPs.
What a depressing video...who can we trust? Clearly not any of the MP's in parliament!
William Wragg makes no sense. he couldve definetly gone to the police
The IDF investigated and found that all the bodies fell in there after accidentally shooting themselves in the head with their hands tied behind their backs.

@@chatham43because they are cnuts
Fair play to Chris Skidmore, only one in this list i understood. Horrifying the intrinsic level of sexual assault in tge Tory ranks. And these are the only ones we hear about... Edit: spoke too soon, seems sexual misconduct is just endemic in politics in general
Anderson's comments about Sadiq have a strong context behind them though, his in laws are open supporters of Hamas, which explains the two-tier policing going on in London at the moment.
I am fundamentally opposed to the Conservative Party and Tory ideology, yet at least they are upfront about their reasons. Labour keeping the reasons secret is very suspicious.
This makes the U.S. House of Representatives look live a commune of saints

It needs to be a criminal offence to lie to the public if an MP. We also need to have a psychological wellbeing examination to be applied to all people that want to stand for parliament.

resigned after watching "Tractor Prawn" in parliament. WTAF is wrong
Can you explain “losing the whip?” Surely if an MP is not subject to the whip, they can vote their own conscience.
Could you not use that Bobbing picture thing it’s really distracting? And causes photosensitivity.
