Wannabe Tory MP Adam Gregg, who has rubbed shoulders with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has withdrawn from the election race – saying the ‘events were of their time’

Christ, they’ll be no Tories left at this rate. Although, that’s not a bad thing.

    Elsewhere, Gregg was pictured online in 2016 holding roses next to the winner of “Miss Roadblock” at a kids night. And a flyer for the event for 13 to 17 year-olds in Hull in 2016 requested: “All ladies please arrive stunning!” The £5-a-head event was billed as having “The most up for it Crowd”, promising the “Miss Roadblock 2016” winner would get a professional photoshoot and beauty makeover.

    Ah yes, those far away times of…less than a decade ago.

    Also wtf is a “miss roadblock” contest?

      None of that seems inappropriate, I don’t really get what the problem is. These were just like, social nights for teenagers.

        I suspect publishing pictures of under age kids is the issue. It does sound like a slightly more clubby school disco and I assume these were alcohol and drug free events with only children and vetted adults on site?

          Yeah, that’s basically my memory of them. Essentially chaperoned.
