All within the rules DB9 (seeing as you're so keen on not having them broken).

Not a Lord in the HoC's as Al says.

Yes, of course he'd need to stand that down.

I thought all that got debunked after that massive anti-Establishment initiative you might recall called Brexit got spearheaded by two of the most copper-bottomed toffs you could ever meet - JRM and Boris Johnson.

Besides, who else you going to vote for? A party led by a Sir?

Yep, Those "Anti Establishment" toffs. A Sir who came from pretty humble beginnings and worked his way up, Seems just the kind of leader I'd want rather than one born with a silver spoon in his mouth thinking he's got a god given right to rule.

So he'd have to stand down, Which I knew, So LORD Frost can't stand for election unless this lot tried to change the rules, Which they've tried very recently on the Paterson issue.

Starmer refuses to answer on three occasions a question about whether Durham Constabulary have contracted him. Strange reaction, why not just say no?
BTW art, that interview was on BBC R4 this morning and not part of my fevered imagination.

Police investigate, No issues found, no fines etc. Why are question's being asked. Ahh yes because the Tory party want them asked by there mouthpieces in an increasingly desperate attempt to take heat off of Johnson and the Tories.

In major political / judicial news from the other side of the pond the now conservative dominated Supreme Court seems to have decided to strike down Roe v Wade by majority decision:

Exclusive: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft circulated inside the court.

To say the least this will cause an absolute shitstorm - what a way to further polarise an already deeply divided society.

Very peculiar, that the US are going almost backwards in bringing the church back to the state.

As you say, this won't be pretty and will further polarise. I can't see it happening here to the same degree, simply as we're so much further on in our secularism
