She is a New MP
Running scared.
Pathetic.


[Dehenna Davison, the Conservative MP
for Bishop Auckland, has announced
she intends to stand down at the
next general election.

The 29-year-old was elected
as the County Durham constituency's
first ever Tory MP in 2019.

Levelling Up minister Ms Davison
is the fourth Tory MP to announce their
departure this week.

Ms Davison said she now wanted to
devote more time to "life outside politics - mainly
to my family".]

Nah.

She says it's to spend more time with family and away from politics

What on earth did she seek election for in 2019 then just under 3 years ago.
She knows she wouldn't hold the seat.

And regarding Dehenna Davison, i remember her popping up on Talk TV (then Talk Radio) soon after she was elected, where she was being paid to make news reports and go on shows. Apparently Talk Radio were training her for a job in the media. But hang on, she's getting paid £80,000 plus to be an MP.

After the training she then went on to GB News where she fronted shows weekly and at other times. Just like that other MP, Esther McVey who fronts a Saturday morning show. Both spend more time being presenters than the do being MPs, but oh yes they accept the full MP salary. :fist:

Good riddance to the odious creep.

IF when Sunak became leader when Hancock was there with the others cheering him on with his sickening deceitful smile on his face.
Had Sunak brought him back into governnent, rather than totally ignoring him as he thanked most of the others in the front row even thev2 standing either side of Hancock.
Then Hancock wouldn't have even gone into the TV show.

Now he's out and seen as more to be ridiculed by even groupings in the Con Party as well as his constituency.
Then he's got nowhere to go now politically.

To present this move as a kind of selfless act on his part is just more of the serial deceit and lies this creep pedals near all the time.

Definitely for me again.
Good riddance and IF he was really being in the tiniest bit genuine.
He'd resign as an MP NOW and not hang on until the next election.

Odious is the only word for Hancock.

If at least sixty (the Tories current working majority) openly state they're stepping down, it could lead to something like that.

This is a concern.
MPs shouldn't have to face threats to their lives, or of injury.
Parties shouldn't have to be worried about the safety of their constituency offices.

The Country along with the world is going bonkers
But in a sinister way.

It doesn't help that leaders of Parties disrespect each other and throw childish insults back and forth to each other.
When leaders attack other leaders and indeed other Parties MPs.
They are attacking the supporters/voters of those Parties too.

Even I have to admit there's not a great deal of difference of policy between the Parties at present.
The only difference being, if Labour was in power, more sensitivity, understanding, fairness and compassion would be more evident in the policies.

The Prime Minister spends more time talking about Labour at PMQs rather than answering questions as to what his government has done and is doing.
The opposition Parties are NOT there to support the government.
Then this weak Speaker does nothing to change the tone and content of PMQs.
He's terrible really.

So divisive politics gets worse.
Then MPs get threatened and need tight security.

It comes from the top of politics and it's time it was dealt with properly.
With leaders who act like leaders and grown adults rather than playing at presenting a pathetic pantomime week after week.

Tim Loughton MP
Giving up.



[A Conservative MP has announced he
will not stand at the next general election
after more than 27 years in Parliament.

Tim Loughton has represented the
East Worthing & Shoreham constituency
since 1997 and has won seven
general elections.

The veteran backbencher, who served as
deputy chairman on the
Home Affairs Select Committee,
posted on X (formerly Twitter)
on Saturday, announcing the news,
saying: "it was “wiser to leave five
minutes too soon than to continue
for five years too long".

He is the latest Tory MP to announce
that they will not be seeking re-election
in the next election.

Some 64 Conservative MPs have now
said they will either stand down from the
Commons or not seek re-election in their
current constituencies.]

He's standing down because he's more than likely going to be booted out by the voters anyhow in the election.

What a pity all these MPs who are going to be gone as MPs in a few months.,don't now just think, to blazes with it, we are going to sit independently now.
Vote according to our conscience and what we feel is right not being bludgeoned into voting for things we don't believe in by the Party whips.

That would make for a better parliament.

Although having said that, then Sunak would more likely call an election and get them gone that few months earlier.

Chris Heaton-Harris not standing for re-election

He is in the Cabinet.


[Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris
has said he will not be standing at
the next general election.

The Tory MP said on X, formerly Twitter,
it had been an "honour and a privilege to serve"
and passed on his thanks to his
constituents in Daventry.

Mr Heaton-Harris has been the
Northern Ireland secretary since
September 2022, describing it as
the "best job in the Cabinet".

He announced his intention in a letter
to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.]

Another Standing down on July 4th

[Huw Merriman MP has announced he will
be standing down from Parliament at the
next general election.

The Conservative MP for Bexhill and Battle
in East Sussex said he will not stand as
a candidate and will leave his role on 4 July.

Mr Merriman has served as
Minister of State for Rail and HS2 since October 2022
and previously chaired the
Transport Select Committee.

“I have loved being an MP and I leave
with a heavy heart,” he said.]

[joeysteele]

All these standing down MPs presents a problem as to being the incumbent MPs.
Which can even in a small way help with votes in the particular constituency.

[bots]

all parties will struggle to get candidates in place for the election. That's one of the reasons Sunak decided to go for it now

Running scared.
Pathetic.


[Dehenna Davison, the Conservative MP
for Bishop Auckland, has announced
she intends to stand down at the
next general election.

as the County Durham constituency's
first ever Tory MP in 2019.

Levelling Up minister Ms Davison
is the fourth Tory MP to announce their
departure this week.

Ms Davison said she now wanted to
devote more time to "life outside politics - mainly
