The Borough Council is staunch Conservative, so I think he is safe for the time being. Wokingham Town Council is only a small council.

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
Boris must be wishing it would go away, but
Quote:
Cabinet ministerJacob Rees-Mogg and Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross investigated by sleaze watchdog
Kathryn Stone, the parliamentary commissioner for standards, is now looking into allegations against the pair of Tory MPs, according to an updated register of her current investigations.
It means there have now been three investigations launched by Ms Stone in the wake of Westminster's recent sleaze row, which was prompted by the Owen Paterson lobbying scandal.
Both Mr Rees-Mogg and Mr Ross are listed as being under investigation over the registration of interests related to employment and earnings.
Last month, Labour demanded Mr Rees-Mogg be probed over claims he failed to properly declare £6m in loans from one of his companies.
Meanwhile, Mr Ross recently reported himself to Ms Stone over previously undeclared earnings.

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
I am sure it was total coincidence that JRM tried to put in place a new committee and system for standards just before he was going to be investigated by the old one…

They didn't want the chink in the armour that occurred when Paterson resigned.

The seat to watch is Old Bexley and Sidcup. There was a 19k Conservative majority at the last election but there's a byelection tomorrow. I can't see the Conservatives losing but will be interesting to see what happens to their majority and share of the vote.

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
I think Boris needs to be taught a lesson - if he's smart enough to take heed.
His parliamentary party need to crap on him now. Get the headlines at the right moment.

Well, the size of the majority is bound to decrease, isn’t it? It’s a mid-term by-election.

... and Boris doesn't deserve their support through a Conservative vote. That's terrible.

I'm pleased to see his second job is not getting in the way of his Shakespeare biography with a 31 March 2022 publication date lined up for the title.

Re: Owen Paterson: Anger as Tory MP avoids suspension in rule shake-up
I heard Emily Thornberry say earlier that Viscount Gage, a tory peer received 300k from the levelling-up fund to repair potholes on his driveway, I'd like to say it's unbelievable or a joke but in bozos Britain the joke is always on us

What's that wrong with repairing a road that serves an independent museum and art gallery, along with 7 farms, 2 pubs, and 5 villages with 114 homes? So NOT his driveway.

There is a full story on this at https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...30k-money.html
Not quite as bad as sentiment would have it, although you'd have to get some way down tor Mail article to reach that conclusion.
