Dr Julian Lewis.

[gulliver1]

Stripped of the Whip and Kicked out of the Con Party, for beating Chris Grayling to become Chair of the of
"The Intelligence and Security Committee" .

[ichkeria]

Perfectly reasonable.
I think most PhD or DPhils would do

[woofgang]

"I apologise if I have got it wrong but there is no mention of his medical qualifications in his CV in Wiki."

I know Jackdaw....its weird........

[Gromit]

Talk about missing the point.
Lewis usurps Grayling, and embarrasses the PM in a unique way.
And ABers are prattling on for 60 posts whether he can use a title.
I sometimes despair At this forum.

[Atheist]

Gromit. It should be "despair of". Apart from that, it could have been me speaking! :)

[ichkeria]

The matter has been covered pretty well I think.
I doubt there has been a single thread on here ever where there have not been digressions

[Gromit]

Apparently Dr Lewis didn’t wipe his feet before entering parliament.
What a scoundrel

Mean while the Russians subverting our democracy - not one post. Sigh.

[jno]

true, the real question will be whether Moscow has bought Lewis.

[gulliver1]

JNO,21.03, Don't know if Moscow has bought Lewis, but they certainly sent us Agent Dom.

[ichkeria]

The original question wasn’t about Russia specifically but about the affair of Dr Lewis beating Grayling to it and then getting dumped

[bednobs]

I still await comment from the OP (Gulliver) about how this proves absolute rule, if the thing that they wanted to happen didn't happen

[dannyk13]

Gulliver //, Don't know if Moscow has bought Lewis, but they certainly sent us Agent Dom.//
How you have the temerity to post that considering that your beloved leader was agent Corbyn is astounding.

[ichkeria]

Just to clear that one up
Of course: Corbyn was targeted by the Warsaw Pact as a potential agent. But he wasn’t an actual agent.
Neither is Cummings and as for Lewis, I’m assuming that is a joke

[dannyk13]

Ich, didn't Cob have proven ties with a Czech agent?

[ichkeria]

He probably did. But I
don’t think that necessarily means a lot.
I can’t be bothered looking it all up now but being approached or targeted doesn’t make you a willing traitor

[dannyk13]

Ich, nobody has mentioned the word traitor.

[Gromit]

Ján Sarkocy the Czech agent made claims of having recruited Corbyn. But he had absolutely no proof to support the claim. The Czech security ministry files are open and people have been researching them for 25 years, Corbyn is mentioned but not as a recruited agent.

But Conservative MP for Totnes, Raymond Mawby was a confirmed agent and in the pay of 2nd Directorate of the General Staff of the Czechoslovak People's Army, the military intelligence service of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.

[ichkeria]

If you are an agent for a foreign government does that not make you a traitor?

[gulliver1]

Considering that Cummings lived and worked in Yeltsin,s Russia, and at one time had connections with the kremlin makes him more likely to be an Agent,

[bednobs]

so no comment then Gulliver?

[dannyk13]

Gulliver, so every non -Russian who works in that country is an agent?
Ridiculous.
