I could not believe my ears when I heard this today. I think she has served more than enough time in prison and should definitely not serve another 8 months there.

Far more dangerous people are being released early on tags. Why can’t she?

People like the ghastly Huw Edwards get suspended sentences for far worse crimes.

I notice that £87,000 has been crowd funded for her family so far as this has made their future far from secure. I will donate because I feel she has been punished enough.

True.... but unlikely once her tweet record is exposed. Saying she would lie to Ofstead might be a wee problem as well as posting recent very racist material since Reform have removed people for same as they want "clean" candidates.

No need for elaboration, don't dig a deeper hole, you might bury yourself .I'm quite surprised you quoted the requirements for a councillor and fot a sitting MP whilst completely ignoring the actual question, Could be a politician yourself 😕

I don't think personal attacks help discussion and won't engage on that basis.

I regret "thread stopping" with my reply last night, but I think on refection it was crossed wires.

when I posted

"True.... but unlikely once her tweet record is exposed. Saying she would lie to Ofstead might be a wee problem as well as posting recent very racist material since Reform have removed people for same as they want "clean" candidates."

The "true" was accepting that MP's rules are different as you pointed out, but I then went on the reflect there might be other problems becoming an MP.
