MPs suspended for misconduct get nothing if they step down and trigger a by-election. If they cling on until the election, they get four months' wages AND double the level of statutory redundancy pay.

The Tories will never face up to what they have done. They will instead follow the Truss formula of blaming and undermining institutions and retreating ever further into ruinous economic nationalism, thereby deepening the disaster….

Britain is faced with a mass exodus of wealth and talent as overseas jurisdictions eat away at its financial markets. My column telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…
This is idiotic
— to be sure, the big picture is unchanged with Labour 25 points ahead — but as we head into May 2, PM allies say he had a good week at a good time — they say plot to oust him after the locals is fizzling out — a week from now we should find out… bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
— plotters claim to have whipping operation ready to get letters — MPs sharing rival polling: some suggests Mordaunt’s the only chance of saving seats, another suggests Sunak is preferred by key undecided voters bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
— Mordaunt will not resign after the locals and will not back a change of leader, ally says, in the strongest signal yet that she’s given up on a move against Sunak — Sunak ally says Mordaunt has no plan to close the polls bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
— Plan A is to have election later in year. But minister describes Cabinet as fatigued & at end of the road — No10 promise more attacks on Labour, targeting workers’ rights plan that’s making biz nervous — Tories delighted Starmer didn’t match defence £ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
— No10 deny rumours PM could call election on Mon, but aides say July is possible — flights taking off mid-campaign would win Reform voters back and close gap with Lab, some believe — slogan could be: “we’ll stop the boats, Labour will stop the flights” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
— plotters still vowing to move after locals. All bets are off if Houchen and Street lose, MPs say — Sunak team hope Houchen will win, Street seen as in balance — could Tories do better than expected? Here’s Robert Hayward on how Gaza could help them > bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
— one aide says it’s ‘Operation Save Rishi’ to get him thru May 2 — 10-12 week Rwanda timeline means he can say to any right-wing MPs considering letters: “Give me a chance to start the flights” — and defence cash undercuts Mordaunt’s main selling point bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
— Sunak allies say he upped the tempo this week with welfare, Rwanda, defence announcements grabbing agenda — it was the week he entered election campaign mode, one said — critic praises smart politics by No10, bemoaning why it’s taken so long bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
NEW: @BloombergUK Saturday read * ‘Operation Save Rishi’ gave Sunak his best week as PM and will get him through the locals, allies believe * Mordaunt WON’T challenge PM, allies say plot’s fizzling out * Rwanda timeline sees July election talk ramp up bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I have just started listening to @remainiacs @OhGodWhatNowPod from Episode 1, as I didn't discover it until September 2018. This is going to be a wild few months catching up, knowing what happened. @IanDunt @Dorianlynskey
Not sure about this briefing about Street and Houchen result. If one or both are re-elected it will be testament to their ability to separate their personal brand from national politics, which both are very good at and which is a characteristic uniquely suited to mayoralties.

“This month William Wragg got caught in a honey trap & dick-picked a stranger, while Mark Menzies was held hostage in a sex dungeon, but everyone seems to have forgotten…”
@PronouncedAlva Tory MPs are also being shown private polling which shows Rishi Sunak is more popular among the soft Tory votes and undecided voters, part of an effort to persuade them to stick with him as leader

The world needs to understand that Congo is going through a silent genocide. The condition in Congo get worsened every day especially this rainy season as over 5 Million have been killed already, millions have been displaced and millions are starving. People now live in tents…
Perhaps, just perhaps, Angela Rayner is deliberately wasting the Mail's time and effort on their obsession?
Dan Poulter was elected as a Conservative MP in 2010, was a Conservative councillor for years before that. Getting on for 20 years as an elected member of the party. That's a pretty broad definition of "opportunism".
If CCHQ keeps insisting on choosing non-conservative opportunists as candidates instead of people actually committed to conservative ideology, don't be surprised when they defect.
@ElliotElinor I think Putin's greatest ambition was to destabilise Europe &the EU, so paying the Tory party millions of ££s,& I think we'd learn more in the Russian Report. Why was BoJ, his wife & many of the Brexiters 'Friends of Russia' this includes Matthew Elliot,& republican wife Sarah.
Needless to say a Tory defection to Labour over public services / NHS is probably not the ideal launchpad for a general election campaign starting Monday! (I don’t think it is starting Monday)
@LouisHenwood @SueSuezep Because he is an arrogant, pompous hypocrite, (dual passport) he vehemently promoted Brexit, lives at his "Haven" in Grasse, but now flies back and forth (while most of us lost FOM).... writing ascerbic articles criticising elements of UK and also EU!! Past his 'sell by' date....
Jesus Christ! I was not expecting that. He's literally my MP. Frankly, I was never a fan of Dan Poulter, but wow, I got give him his due
🚨NEW: Former Tory minister defects to Labour🚨 Conservative MP Dan Poulter says Tories have become a “nationalist party of the right” which has abandoned compassion & the NHS Story: theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Just when Rishi Sunak was thinking this had been one of his better weeks……
“I find it increasingly difficult to look my NHS colleagues in the eye” Former Conservative minister and MP Dr Dan Poulter has quit his party to join Labour. He tells #BBCLauraK he believes that Keir Starmer can be trusted to run public services bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Defections are rare …and are more significant than they seem whatever the inevitably conplex calculations of the defector…They reliably symbolise a wider direction of travel and further disturb the troubled party that the defector is leaving…while highlighting to voters deep…
