I see Angela Raynor pulled up for calling a Tory MP scum. She’s absolutely right.

Reminds of the time Dennis Skinner was pulled up for calling half the Tories corrupt. To which he replied ‘half the Tories aren’t corrupt’

Best MP ever

Wonder if we'll ever get a punch up like in some tinpot places?

Imagine if it did kick off.... Starmer would probably do a WWE style heel turn midway through...



EDIT: Like this one too.

I see the vote on feeding poor kids over the summer was defeated. The same deluded Tory voting fuckwits who say "Why can't we be like Sweden?" in relation to Covid can't see the link.

Do they not see how self destructive it is as well, lots of their new seats have very low majorities

When there’s no comeback on MPs for talking complete BS in parliament why should Raynor be pulled up for telling the truth?

Johnson lied to Parliament again today, nothing will happen. But don’t you dare clap when you should have cheered!

She said that at the time, the scumbag was lying about her

They seemed to spend all afternoon taking great glee in blaming the previous administration and then voted it down. Self defeating, all they’ve done is take ownership of it 100%.

I don’t care how good a superforcaster you’re supposed to be, you have to be pants on head stupid to plan a strategy that involves starving kids at Christmas during a pandemic and saying it’s to teach their lazy parents a lesson.

Yeah, he's not recognising a changed mood amongst people either. He'd have probably got away with this earlier in the year tbh.

He’s only there to con the poor at elections rather than to take food away

On a purely objective level, for a government such as ours to vote down the free meals proposal, seems a massive own goal. On the one level they do have a point that it doesn't solve the root causes of poverty. However, the cost is relatively small compared to other spending

And... it's not like Johnson isn't above a bit of superficial opportunism! It seems that this is a (relatively cheap) way to get people onside, and allow them to point to how they do listen, and do look out for the needy. As it stands, they're alienating their new base, and many other areas besides, and for what? Again, the cost is relatively small compared to other bailouts they're handing out just at the moment.

It's not a wise move politically.

What the need to do is incorporate schools as banks - they'll throw whatever money they want at them then and poor or reckless performance will be no barrier to the aid they can access.

Il never vote Conservative for the remainder of my living years from this point forward.. That's my political opinion... As you were.. PUSB

It’s actually a good strategy.

Rumours swirling around of a pending u-turn on kids meals. Seems Conservative MPs who voted against it are now unhappy they are being held to account by their constituents.

Hancock claims Johnson and Rashford are talking, Rashford knows nothing about it.


Also this morning calls for Johnson and Patel to apologise for attacks on lawyers. This is the problem with the Conservatives trying to claim they have been getting abuse following Raynors comments, people might then turn round and highlight your own actions.

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel 'should apologise for lawyer attacks'

More than 800 legal professionals accuse ministers of "hostility" which they claim jeopardises safety.

Probably worked and backfired at the same time. I don’t think they expected the response they got from local businesses and individuals.
