    I wish I had someone I could pass the buck to when I get caught doing something cheeky, well *allegedly* pass the buck to. Obviously we don’t know if he did that but if I was to hazard a guess…

  2. today is a good day to throw out bad news… overload the news cycle and confuse everyone

  3. >Oliver Kerr, who works part-time as Mr Jupp’s campaign manager, and is paid by taxpayers to also work for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.

    Seems absurd to me this is allowed.

    Overall I don’t think this is a big deal, it just directed to the Tory website, it’s not like he made a fake website for the Lib Dem. He’s already relinquished the name.

    X buys domain that would be good for Y is a story you see all the time.

  4. An apology has been made,it won’t happen again,time to move on,I mean,no sex workers and drugs in this story anyway

    /S

    tories really are going for it at the moment.

    Can’t wait for the return of boris and liz

  5. It’s disgusting seeing all these corbyn run media outlets reporting on things that happened on the past, like it matters. Smh.

  6. I said a couple of weeks ago that the Tories will run the nastiest, dirtiest election campaign that we have ever seen.

    Looks like it has started.

  7. The Nolan principles should apply to all who work for MPs.

    Just saying

  8. The Tories are a bunch of reprehensible cunts, but this is an absolute nothing of a story.  

    If anything the story should be ‘lib dem election candidate too thick to buy theirname.co.uk’
