We need a by-election from all three MPs

This is not the first time that MPs have decided to reject their party politics and tragically it is not the first time that MPs have decided to leave a political party and transfer to another political party. However this is deeply disturbing. Whoever these 3 MPs are it is very understandable that they and indeed many other MPs have got frustrated with their own political party. A recent pair of…

Former Conservative MP Mark Reckless quits UKIP to join Conservative group in Welsh assembly

UKIP's Mark Reckless has quit the party and pledged his support to Theresa May and her Brexit ministers. Mr Reckless, a member of the Welsh Assembly, sensationally left the Conservatives in 2014 for Nigel Farage's party causing David Cameron to apparently brand him a "fat ****". His defection was a coup for Mr Farage, who also poached Clacton MP Douglas Carswell at the same time, in a significant blow to the Conservatives. But now Mr Reckless has parted ways with UKIP to join the Conservative Group in the Welsh Assembly, saying leaving the EU was "job done".

To be elected on a list and then to resign from the party is a dishonourable thing to do, and I thought better of him.

Nigel Farage

UKIP has said Mr Reckless must now surrender his seat on the Welsh Assembly to another UKIP candidate from the regional list. It comes after Mr Carswell quit the party to become an independent MP following a bitter and public two-year battle with Mr Farage. The Conservative Party stressed that Mr Reckless was not "rejoining" the party but would simply be treated as a member of the group in the Welsh Assembly. When Mr Reckless left the Tories he triggered a by-election in Rochester and Strood, which he won putting two UKIP MPs in the House of Commons - him and Mr Carswell. He lost his seat in the 2015 election but won his seat on the Welsh Assembly in 2016.

UK Parliament member displays brutal honesty after switching parties

http://twitter.com/#!/TraceyAReid/status/515866316088291328 Mark Reckless is a member of the UK Parliament who switched from the Conservative Party to the UK Independence Party (UKIP) earlier today. In response to a tweeter’s flashback to earlier this month when Reckless told him he would not switch parties, there was this display of honesty: @TraceyAReid I am sorry to have misled you before but…

Hush descended over the room. The tension between these three giants of euroscepticism was palpable. Nigel remained firm, sturdy...rigid...hard. He stood strong as he stared across the room at his handpicked duo. He wondered if they would shrink from this challenge. Perhaps neither man really deserved to be Nigel’s right hand man. Maybe they were, both, too soft. Normally Nigel would like a soft right hand, a smoother touch allows for greater plea...his mind had wandered. He looked back at Paul and Mark.

Both men were feeling something. Whenever Nigel took control like this, they got the same feeling, a...a pressure of some kind. Both men were feeling it now, stronger than ever. The hair on the back of their necks stood up, they had goosebumps, and, perhaps most curiously, their trousers had tightened. They both knew that to pleasure Nigel they would need to move their minds away from their turgid members and mount him...each other...a case...mount...mount a case! That was it, that’s what they had to do. Mark may have been new to UKIP, but he had years of experience in politics, big politics. In many situations like this that experience would have elevated him above Paul Nutall. That wasn’t to be the case this time. Nigel and Paul knew each other well, Paul knew what Nigel liked, what drove him wild...with anger.

“I’m with you Nigel” Spoke Paul, his voice cracking as he tried to mask his fear.

Just like that, just like that the tension in the room had been decapitated. As the head feel from its shoulders, Paul Nutall stood. He had bested Mark in this round. He knew there would be many more. Nigel would put them through their paces, but for now, for now he was leading this contest. He smiled to himself as he thrust his hand out to Nigel for a handshake. As Nigel clasped it he couldn’t help but evaluate it’s softness. Pushing aside such silly nonsense, Nigel smiled at Paul. This was it. The beginning of their fight, their fight against the corrupt conspiracy that surrounded them. Their fight, for the truth!

Nigel grinned as he saw that the two men before him had fallen for his bait. Now they were on the hook he could move on with his plan. Nigel stood up slowly and walked over to the blackboard he kept in the corner of the room. Nigel decided a quick test was in order.

“What is this?” Nigel asked the two kippers, while pointing at the black board.

“...A chalk board...” Said Paul Nutall and Mark Reckless in a hesitant unity. They couldn’t be sure if this was one of Nigel’s secret tests or not.

Anger bubbled inside of Nigel “NO!...NO!, NO!, NO!” He bellowed at them. Both men cowered at Nigel’s ferocity. “That is what the barmy lefty’s call them. It’s political correctness gone mad. This is a black board, a BLACK board. Do you understand?” The two chastised kippers nodded in unison. They were both far to scared to speak, lest they earn Nigel’s ire further.

“Good...Now, I am going to write the name of my contact on this board. We can’t be sure who is listening in. So don’t say who it is. Am I clear?” Nigel asked. The cautious kippers nodded again. With their understanding, Nigel began to write the name. As he wrote, Nigel got a whiff of the chalk, it started to bring back memories. Memories of being a young man. Memories of his time at Saint George’s All Boys Academy of British Excellence. Memories of...of, Jenkins. How different would life have been if Jenkins had only loved him back?...No. He had never loved Jenkins. It was a trick by the homosexuals. They had put chemicals in his shepherds pie or something. Nigel steeled himself as he finished writing. He needed to be focused on his course of action. Becoming Prime Minister and saving this country from the immigrants.

Nigel placed the chalk down and stepped aside so Mark and Paul could see the name of his next lead. As soon as they laid eyes on the name they both grimaced.

“Nigel...y-y-you can’t be...y-y-you can’t be s-s-serious?” Stammered Paul

“I hate to say it but Paul is right.” Agreed Mark. Such was the gravity of the situation that the sworn rivals were in agreement.

“I’m very serious. We are going to see possibly the most enigmatic person to ever serve in parliament. We will be visiting...Ann Widdecombe!”

[The Irish in Britain are] not immigrants. I don’t consider myself to have an immigrant background. I don’t see my Irish mother as an immigrant any more than I see my Scottish wife as one.

Mark Reckless argues for Ireland to rejoin the Sterling

He said, November 2010: "Unlike Greece, Ireland would not need to re-establish an independent currency, with all the short-term difficulties that would entail. Ireland could simply rejoin sterling and have a monetary policy more suited for Irish needs. Germany’s Irish loans could be deemed to have been made in sterling, so as to provide a fair return but allow Ireland to start exporting its way back to growth. We would benefit from closer relations with Ireland and keep the spur of Irish tax competition which the EU would snuff out. Every MP I have spoken to says they would be happy for Ireland to have a guaranteed seat on the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee. This would mean that, unlike before 1979, Ireland as a sovereign country would have a proper say in setting sterling interest rates. When we raised the idea with David Liddington, our Europe minister, at the Conservative Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday he was positive, if Ireland wants to explore this option. I know the Chancellor will want to help Ireland stand up to bullying at ECOFIN today. What better way than to let them know they can come back to sterling if the euro isn’t working for them?"

My grandfather served in the Dail for Fianna Fail, and if he could see it now, he would be turning in his grave. Surely the message from this House to those politicians must be that we will not vote for a penny to bail out their euro, whereas the message to the Irish people must be that we will give whatever support is necessary to support an orderly return to sterling.
