Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Resigning now puts a halt to the inquiry that could have seen Nigel Farage suspended for failing to declare his £5m gift"
"It forces a by-election now before the truth has been established about that money, and any other gifts or donations"
"Such as those revealed over the weekend from a convicted fraudster"
"But if re-elected the Standards Inquiry resumes and another by-election could be forced anyway"
"The other parties are saying they won't indulge this contest"
"And it looks like the only serious opposition Mr Farage faces could come from Count Binface"
@CountBinface 👏 This is yours for the taking

@Kevin_Kinkead The thing you’re missing is that it doesn’t matter if it was a red or not. You don’t change the rules in the middle of a competition, ESPECIALLY not because of political pressure.
@Kevin_Kinkead Yes Kevin. Because it’s called sport. There are rules. And if a mistake is made that’s part of the sport. You don’t just change the rules as you go.
Two things can be true at the same time here:
The Balogun red was nonsense
FIFA arbitrarily unbanning people based on vibes is terrible for the sport.
A ridiculous organization.
@Aljeeves@UnknownSheng Because you have an autistically thorough knowledge of every country in the world doesn’t mean everyone should. I’m sure it’s great, but there’s no reason for most British people to have heard of Cape Verde.
@KirstieMAllsopp@BAFTA I don't know if you'll understand this but stuff like this, your tone deaf "cut down on avocado toast and you'll afford a deposit" horseshit and your risible "remove washing machines from kitchens" nonsense makes people like me actively not watch your TV shows.
🚨 TEXAS SWITCH ALERT! 🚨
Wonderful example from Dr. No (1962) where both Sean Connery and Ursula Andress are replaced by their stunt doubles behind the conveniently placed wall of oil barrels.
