News about David Campbell Bannerman

Leaked WhatsApp messages from those on the right-wing of the party have slammed the premier for going to the polls on July 4. While it is reported that Tory donor David Campbell Bannerman called for a confidence vote in the Prime Minister in one group of disgruntled Conservatives. It comes as transport minister Huw Merriman, Deputy Speaker Dame Eleanor Laing, employment minister Jo Churchill and James Grundy said they would not fight to keep their seats. Conservative former minister Sir Michael Ellis also announced he will not be standing for re-election. The Northampton North MP, who has served in several prominent ministerial positions including as attorney general, said it was an 'extremely difficult decision' not to stand again.

ANDREW PIERCE: Labour's lead has risen to 23 points this week, with Boris Johnson's supporters now more devoted than ever. 'Conservative MPs must place country and party first and send letters of no confidence,' says David Campbell Bannerman, chairman of the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO), which was established to campaign for traditional Tory values after Boris was deposed last year.' Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's call-to-arms came during rumors over the weekend that the number of such letters sent to Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 Committee, had surpassed 30. To start a vote on Sunak's leadership, the rebels must have their total number up to 53. In the meantime, the CDO is investigating Boris' dethroning's shady circumstances. Nadine Dorries' remarks in her book The Plot, CDO President Lord Cruddas says: "The book's revelations are deeply troubling.' A few key members of our party point to a sequence of undemocratic activities, including manipulation of party structures and potential breaches of ethical principles.'

Dame Andrea Jenkyns became the first Tory MP to submit a letter of no confidence in the Prime Minister's handling of the now-former home secretary to the 1922 Committee. And insiders on the Right of the party said they were planning to 'lift Hell' from today to tomorrow, advising that this could now become a slow-motion car accident for Prime Minister David Cameron.' MPs who were enraged by Mrs Braverman's dismissal were called together last night to determine their 'next steps'. Mr Sunak was reported to have been contacted by scores of backbenchers from the Right of the party over the weekend, demanding that he not get rid of Mrs Braverman, one of the party's most prominent figures. According to supporters, the efforts involved coordinated letters from backbench groups that were also signed by about ten Tory peers.

After a discussion over whether she should be housed in a male or female jail delayed her case, a former Conservative MEP has slammed the 'unduly lenient' decision to save a transgender paedophile from prison. According to David Campbell Bannerman, the decision to give former prisoner Tanya Howes (pictured), 66, a 12-month suspended term for possessing 39 indecent photographs of children was too lenient and 'ought to be investigated.' It comes after magistrates told Howes that the offence "will usually result in immediate arrest," but that they made the 'unusual' decision to suspend her 12-month prison term after the discussion caused a 'time lag.' On February 19, 2020, she had already been charged with three counts of unlawful photographs of children, including 39 in category A photographs, the most serious.

Tanya Howes, a former prisoner, was told by magistrates at Norwich Magistrates Court that the charges would'normally result in immediate arrest,' but that they made the 'unusual' decision to suspend her jail term. Howes, who is listed in legal documents as female and referred to in court by female pronouns, have denied three counts of owning indecent photographs of children, including 39 of the most notable category A photographs on February 19, 2020.

The former prime minister's heavy handed treatment of the former prime minister by a grassroots campaign group has left the party members and local organisers 'inundated.' The entire affair is regarded as a stitch-up by David Campbell Bannerman, chairman of the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO). They are grounded in the real world, not the Westminster bubble, that a well-known Prime Minister who backed Brexit was driven out by the Remain establishment. The cake was just the excuse.' Scott Richardson, chairman of the Poole conservatives, was one of the many messages sent by the CDO, who said: "This privileges committee has devolved into a hypocritical joke." You can't have panel members who have broken the rules themselves, as well as a chair who has openly demonstrated bias against the individual under scrutiny.'

Following Boris Johnson's ouster last year, his allies have announced their plans to reform the Conservative Party's legislation. Lord Cruddas, one of the Conservative Party's top contributors, and David Campbell Bannerman, a former MEP, are leading a new grassroots movement, the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO). They want a sequence of reforms to encourage party members to'take back control' by increasing their authority over issues including budget and selection of parliamentary candidates. Following the deposal of both Mr Johnson and Liz Truss, the CDO has decided to inform voters that who is the Tory leader in two leadership elections in four months. Some within the CDO are even suspected of planning a confidence vote in new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, such as a 'confirmatory' referendum on whether he should be Tory leader, has also been suggested. Lord Cruddas, who ran for a campaign to get a vote on whether Mr Johnson should have been barred from No.10, has been a consistent critic of Mr Sunak.
