Mark Pack reports that the name Beer, Baccy and Crumpet Party has been banned by the Electoral Commission. This is a sadly inevitable consequence of bureaucratic creep that was always going to result in the Commission overstepping its remit.
The Commission is there to register parties, their donations and investigate any dodgy funding - not to decide matters of taste. If voters think 'crumpet' is demeaning to women, then they will vote accordingly. It's not for some unelected bureaucrat to take that decision out of their hands.
