  1. One way to stop him from standing as an independent, I suppose.

  2. Like the elphicks. It’s just one big club anyway so makes sense

  3. Is this the inimitable Mrs Bones that David Cameron joked about having to please in parliament?

  4. What the likely chance his partner will win anyway? It would seem that the country has had enough of those power

  5. Lol.

    That seems like the most ridiculous choice, unless they know they are not going to win anyway.

    Talking with someone who knows Mr Bone, it seems to have been trumped up charges anyway. Apparently the guy came back to work for him years after the alleged incidents. Or so I was told.

  6. Ah just like in Dover a few years ago. You remember ‘naughty tory’ Charlie Elphicke who lost his job as an MP because he was a sex pest? His wife was selected to replace him. It appeared that she was shoehorned into the position without any challengers – an intentional and deliberate coronation.
    I wonder if that will happen again in Mr Bones constituency?

  7. Anyone else look at the picture and think “Is Sven standing at the next election?”

  8. No one in this constituency has made the joke of I want to get off Mr. Jones’ Wild Ride yet?

    For shame the people of Wellinborough.

  9. Weirdly a similar thing happened in Burton, the disgraced Tory MP was replaced by his wife. No idea why this is a thing.

  10. They did that with my local candidate. My MP was kicked out for sexting barmaid so the local Tory group picked his ex wife to put up for election. She’s now my MP and does absolutely nothing.

  11. Gen Kitchen is gonna win this hands down

    This clown and his wife can fuck off

  12. Better to do this than have another potential MP tarnished with his brush.
