Labour's Keith Vaz, who was suspended from the Commons after he was found to have "expressed willingness" to purchase cocaine for others, will not be standing for re-election.

Mr Vaz, who has been MP for Leicester East for 32 years, said in a statement he was retiring from Parliament.

In the Tory heartlands of the commuter belt, remainers may revolt.

Back in September, Boris Johnson had a meeting with some of the 21 Tory MPs who were about to lose the party whip over their opposition to a no-deal Brexit. He was warned that if he was prepared to risk the hardest of Brexits, he might lose crucial parliamentary seats – reliably Tory places where a majority backed remain.

Yet another piece in the jigsaw that nobody can put together.

The election's outcome may not be as certain as Johnson thinks. May made the same meistake that maybe now he stumbles over. It might not even be Brexit yes or no deciding it vor many voters, but the open bills they feel they want to settle. Revenge voting.

Farrage signs no-attack-deal with Johnson. His Brexit-party will not run for seats held by the Tories.

Pro-remain paties agree to practice something similar.

The frontline gets defined more clearer.

“Cancer waiting times are the worst on record.” As of August, more than 20% of UK cancer patients were still waiting for their first treatment more than 60 days after an “urgent” referral from a general practitioner.

Are you running a guerilla campaign in favour of Labour or why do you post all their adverts, Jim? :ping:

Jim your latest email is perfectic it's a sham.

Listening to LBC Radio about Nigel's decision and a lot of brexit callers said they will not vote for the brexit party as they feel betrayed and sold down the river. Has Nigel sealed the fate of his party the results will show when they come in.

It is "inexplicable and shameful" that the UK government has not yet published a report on alleged Russian interference in British politics, Hillary Clinton has told the BBC.

The report has formal security clearance, but it will not be released until after the 12 December election.

"Every person who votes in this country deserves to see that report before your election happens," the former US presidential candidate said.

The BBC poll tracker as of 11th November.

Can't say how accurate it is but it can't be far wrong surely.
