Sadiq supporters have been spinning an anti-Rory Stewart story this morning, all to do with a Church called ‘SPAC Nation’ and its supposed exploitation of young people. Sadiq backing London Labour MP Steve Reed was on the Victoria Derbyshire Show today with the story, and sharing posts attacking mayoral candidate Rory Stewart for associating with SPAC Nation.
Sadly for Steve Reed the picture above shows the Mayor himself has associated with SPAC Nation. Oops!
Guido thought it would be fun – in light of Boris’s big win today – to revisit the emphatic assurances Rory made, that the EU absolutely would not offer any meaningful changes to the Withdrawal Agreement. That is was not realistic to get a deal from the EU by October 31. Boris didn’t understand Brussels. Rory believed in the bin, and his predictions were trashed…
UPDATE: Rory responds to Guido’s article
Guido’s not sure Rory’s walking tour will be warmly welcomed in Finchley and Barnet…
Well down the list of Extinction Rebellion’s Christmas list manifesto is to encourage the planting of more trees. As part of their Westminster protests, the climate communists have set up stall opposite Parliament with the offer of one free tree for each MP to take back to their constituency and plant. Go back to your constituencies, and prepare to save the planet…
Guido thought he’d pop along to see which MPs have turned down the kind offer, and given the self-professed climate credentials of some MPs he was surprised to see their trees still unclaimed. Appropriately, Barry Gardiner had collected his…
Particularly surprising to see uncollected was Ed Miliband’s tree, who, as a former environment secretary, has made banging on about the environment his métier, Jeremy Corbyn’s, who could easily pop it in the corner of his allotment; and Rory Stewart’s, who made planting 100 million trees one of his key pledges when running for the Tory leadership. Not a spot on Extinction Rebellion’s stated aim of one billion…
Guido also thought Extinction Rebellion might be interested in noting that over the last 35 years, global forest loss has been more than offset by new forest growth anyway. MPs have until early afternoon to collect their sapling. Guido’s sure they would reGreta missing out…
At Letters Live last night in the Royal Albert Hall, Rory Stewart announced his resignation on stage, before reading a letter from Eton professor to Stanley Johnson. No one took it seriously. Perhaps they should have…
To the surprise of virtually no one Rory Stewart announces “It’s been a great privilege to serve Penrith and The Border for the last ten years, so it is with sadness that I am announcing that I will be standing down at the next election, and that I have also resigned from the Conservative Party.”
So that is two recent wannabe leaders of the Tories who have quit since losing…
