Reform MP Sarah Pochin wants “the army involved” to deal with convicts

This lot are a cesspit of right wing nonsense made a political party

#politicslive

Highlights of Nigel Farage on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg…

“I don’t know”

#BBCLauraK

“Why did you allow water companies to dump sewage in rivers during the 14 years you weren’t in government??”

#bbclaurak

Take Farage off his immigration hobby horse, ask him about anything else and it all swiftly falls apart

#bbclaurak

Astonishing from Tory peer Mark Harper, currently apportioning more blame on a Labour government that inherited a scandal, than the Tory government (in which he sat) that oversaw it

#PoliticsLive

Even if criticism of this Labour government is justified it loses all legitimacy as soon as it’s conducted by a Tory leader who sat in a Tory government that crippled the entire country over 14 years via economic mismanagement & perpetually appalling policies

#PMQs #PoliticsLive

The frequency at which the BBC will eagerly platform representatives from opaquely funded think tanks (lobby groups) to push the interests of whoever the hell funds them, is just scandalous

#PoliticsLive

Tory MP Esther McVey complaining about the impact on farmers is the same Esther McVey who voted for a Brexit that completely hammered farmers

#politicslive

Tory MP Chris Philp suggesting 12 months isn’t long enough to turn the Tory Party around but the exact same duration *is* more than enough for Labour to turn around a country crippled by 14 years of a government he played a role in

#BBCLauraK

Tory MP Chris Philp: They’ve got slogans but they don’t have credible plans”

From the same Party that brought us “Stop the Boats”, “Get Brexit Done”, “Oven Ready Deal”, “Hands. Face. Space”, “Take Back Control” & “Brexit means Brexit”

#BBCLauraK

Tufton St veteran, Annabel Denham complains about giving France £500m to do “absolutely nothing” but keeps surprisingly silent on a Rwanda Plan that cost over £700m and achieved absolutely nothing

#politicslive

The Telegraph’s, Annabel Denham: “We need to look at how unions have constantly obstructed any improvements, any modernisation”

Unions are there to protect the interests of their fee-paying members. If modernisation cuts their membership then why would they push for that?

“Let’s keep being complete arseholes with our closest neighbours”

Sensational diplomacy from the Reform groupie

Badenoch: “He’s flirting with Neil Kinnock’s demand for a wealth tax. This is a tax on our constituent's savings, on their houses, on their pensions”

She doesn’t even understand it,
as Kinnock called for a wealth tax of 2% on those with assets over £10m not all constituents

#PMQs #PoliticsLive

Tory apologist, Emily Sheffield: “How many more years into this parliament is Labour going to keep saying this 14 years thing?”

Liz Truss was still blaming a Tony Blair-led government as they were on the verge of leaving office only last year

#politicslive #PMQs

If you look closely, a tear rolls down her face, as they did several times during PMQs

Could be hay fever I guess but after yesterday’s shambles…

Labour Chancellor, Rachel Reeves appears quite upset during #PMQs

#politicslive

Reem Ibrahim of the Institute of Economic Affairs: “The Employment Rights Bill will hurt those vulnerable people”

Ava Evans: “Sometimes I think you won’t be happy until we’ve got absolutely zero rights at work & no one’s allowed to claim any welfare at all”

#PoliticsLive #PMQs

With considerable scrutiny of Labour’s attempted welfare reform, the BBC could have given a representative of a disability charity the chance to air their views but opted for someone employed by an opaquely funded think tank instead

#PoliticsLive #PMQs

Reem Ibrahim of the IEA: “There are people claiming out of work benefits because they have acne”

This same line was being trotted in 2012

Opaquely funded think tanks (lobby groups) like the IEA spent over a decade supporting a Tory government that oversaw this

#politicslive

When you’ve truly experienced The Prodigy…

#glastonbury2025 #glastonbury

“The rise (spending on health related benefits as a share of GDP) began just before the pandemic” says Tory MP Helen Whately, who’s sat in front of a graph that shows the rise beginning five years before the pandemic

#bbclaurak

He’s now running a local authority with £1.5bn of assets and a revenue budget of about £500m

Insane

After 14 years of systematically crippling the country, it’s a bit strong for a senior Tory MP to stand there and complain it’s still knackered under a 12 month old Labour administration

#PMQs #PoliticsLive

Rank hypocrisy from Tory MP Tom Tugendhat who calls out Iranian lies whilst uttering not a word on the lies of Herzog

#bbclaurak

The absolute front of a Tory MP who spent his entire political career as a senior member of a Party that systematically crippled the country, to not only write a book & promote it, but to opine on what this Labour government could be doing better

Do one Hunt

#PoliticsLive

With every passing episode #PoliticsLive dies a death

Not only have they invited Tory MP Jeremy Hunt on to openly discuss/promote a book he’s had the gall to write but they’ve also invited the representative of a Tory fanzine on to talk offer ‘critique’

Tory MP Chris Philp reading from his notes

The same thing Kemi Badenoch perpetually criticises Starmer for (rarely) doing

#PMQs #PoliticsLive

Tory MP Chris Philp criticising a Labour government, of less than a year, for doing the things a Tory government of 14 years failed to

#PMQs #PoliticsLive

Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke: “Rachel said about the grotesquely wealthy. I don’t describe them as that, I describe them as high-level taxpayers”

The same “high-level taxpayers” who are still grotesquely wealthy even after paying ‘high’ taxes
