Another Fake Company
he had a feeling
so did not hand over his details.

[A Conservative MP who reportedly offered
to lobby ministers on behalf of the
gambling industry and leak
a confidential policy document
for up to £4,000 a month has
had the party whip suspended.

Scott Benton, the MP for Blackpool South,
was caught by undercover reporters
for the Times posing on behalf
of a fake investment fund saying he could
“call in favours” from colleagues
and get “easy access” to ministers when
queueing for parliamentary votes.]

But a Clip on all TV & Radio news
has made Rishi jump on him.

I can't stand Scott Benton.
Met him once and hopefully never ever again.
A really ignorant, rude and arrogant individual.

Yes his local Branch
also hate him.


He took over the Labour Seat
a Red Wall Big Win of 2019

I wonder if Joey was asking him
a sensible question on Housing or something.

Whatever happens in the next election, were he to lose this seat I'd be very pleased indeed.

It was a more social event and he was extremely rude and arrogant, as a good number of others felt he was so too.

It is however a more usual Con constituency.
It only went Labour under Blair, stayed with Brown, Miliband and Corbyn in his first election.
Since it's creation and now since 2019 it's always more been a Con seat other than that period I mention above.

Awful man though, really ignorant in my opinion.

Starmer has had a go at Benton MP
saying this is the current tory party
