You answered your own question in the post. He bought the seat with his own financial backers - so his dad and businesses his dad had connections with.

Thought that was the case but wasn’t too sure how it works with him had to clarify.

The majority voted to Leave. Some people Remainers,are still living in the past.Leave voters have no need to moan, they succeeded. Grow up or move to the continent.

Remainders living in the past

You can see how this is going to end. Ukraine effectively gone with a demilitarised zone between Poland / the west.

And Moldova as well.

Once Odessa falls then the Russian backed separatists in Transnistria can support the capture of Moldova.

Chisinău (Moldova capital) is another city the Russian Empire regained when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, before losing it again when the USSR collapsed. Chisinău will be second on the Putin hit list after Kyiv.

How does the Russian war come
Down to leave and remain though ffs not everything is about that.

Politicians are corrupt in other news water is wet

The Tory/Labour thing is getting tedious on this thread. I don’t doubt politicians have been incredibly short sited as far as Putin's been concerned, that's across Europe and America. This is years in the making though and would have happened regardless. It's all been part of some kind of grand masterplan cooked up in Putin's brain.

Both tory and labour have taken money from Russia, Gordon brown had from
A bank then starmer had money from Russian linked businesses/people.

the majority of MPS are bent as they come doesn’t matter what side they represent. Red or blue they don’t care about you.

Spot on, I half thought about voting for the first time in a couple of years then remembered the other lot aren't exactly squeaky clean either.

Small point of pedantry. A small majority of those that voted in the referendum voted leave. That isn’t quite the same as “ the majority”.

They have had experience of them before. It’s a big reason Afghanistan went tits up for them.

Yes. And paying Tory MPs is/was part of that masterplan.
As was using Manafort to corruptly win the U.S. 2016 election for a pro-Russian Trump, after he'd helped corruptly install a pro-Russian leader in the previous Ukraine election.
Or are we not allowed to talk about Ukraine politics in the Ukraine thread?

Good
Shot that one, a reason why Russia don’t want to get too close with convoys etc as they would need protection from the air

American stingers and United Kingdom blowpipes.

Afghanis still piss themselves now about how bad the UK one was. In some cases actually throwing the system had a bigger impact.

Brexit has certainly created a long division in the UK
