Westminster Politics

absolute cnut. See someone try doing the same joke about blackface and see how it goes. It’s rank that these jokes are still made in society about trans issues but when it’s the politicians leading the country…ffs.
I thought transphobia was meant to be against the law? I'm assuming it isn't anymore since the Home Secretary seems to think it's ok.

You would think given they are in a workplace it would be. Presumably somebody would need to report her under the Equalities Act though.
 


To be fair to the oily twat, and I can't think of any good reason why I should be, the guy got duped into saying "up the RA" by some bloke taking advantage of his £87 a pop personalised messages. Dimwit Farage just didn't realise what it meant, read the request out verbatim and pocketed the cash.
 
There are 6 million people on welfare they should be incentivised to work in care homes some how.
Yeah because you really want to force someone unqualified and who resents working there looking after Grandma.

Carers should be a well paid, highly qualified and regularly assessed profession, its a vital part of society that, potentially, will impact us all at somepoint. Sadly the government and many voters are too short sighted (or rich) to bother.

By ‘welfare’ are you meaning UC?

If so then about 45% are already in work. Many will have physical disabilities which don’t help with care work, and many will be caters themselves, on ‘welfare’ so they can care for relatives.

This nonsense rhetoric that we can just fill gaps an in incredibly nuanced and skilled sector doesn’t hold up to the even the slightest of scrutiny.

To look at people who come here to earn a living caring for others and effectively suggesting you’d rather people left in their own excrement, than be cared for professionally by someone who wasn’t born here - the most base example of racism I can think of.
 
Remember when Theresa May was the right wing of the Tory party? Feck me!

May is very much an architect of all this hatred. Her "Go Home" vans were just ten years ago, she was wrapped up in all that 'enemies of the people' nonsense and happily fuelled hysteria around BREXIT. For all those people cheering her kicking Johnson when he was down, don't forget she appointed him foreign secretary knowing what an awful, deceitful piece of shit he was. She only pretends otherwise because it came back to bite her on the arse.

I know. She's an odious hag but the party is to the right of her, which is fecking scary.

I'm not one to defend Tory PM's and especially not May.

But we need to consider the structure of the Tory party. Many of their members are twisted and in sects. One of the biggest and most influential sects in the party are the bigoted extreme right wingers. If any Tory leader wants to stay as leader they have to pacify their rabble.

Not excusing it, just explaining it.

No, I don't think care is a vocation that people should not be forced to take up for one. The vast majority of the people on UC are on it for a good reason for another. I'm talking about 50p Lee's plan. I personally think it's crazy.

I'm as pro European as the next person and wish that we hadn't made our country toxic to the wonderful people who used to work in our care sector and NHS. Since we have we need to get qualified people from further afield to fill the positions.

Lee Andersen is one of the most repugnant people we have ever voted into parliament and that says something with the rest of the shower he sits next to.

And yet your recycling his talking points?
 
I don't know why I bother listening to PMQs as I always basically end up both saddened and enraged, but I did listen today again, and one of the final "questions" by a conservative MP was [almost literally] "can you explain why every single Labour government since WWII has ended in economic failure with Sterling weaker and unemployment usually higher". I mean, come on you fecking cnut, what is even the point of these sessions if this bullshit is allowed? And to make matters worse, the very next question by a Labour MP was "answered" with a "that's not even a question, just a rant". So fecking infuriating.
 
There is an email doing the rounds on Twitter and trending ahead of George Osbourne’s wedding on Saturday. Alleging all sorts of things. Don’t want to post it here due to the nature of it but it’s on Twitter.

Mods, tweet clearly stats the email states "according too", it's a rumour, no one is staying this is truth or anyone here is endorsing this as truth.

If you want me to delete, go ahead.
 
Whether that email happened or not, it has sure ruined his wedding. Which, you could argue, is awful if he's innocent, but then again, how many lives did that cnut destroy with austerity?
 
What else is there left to say about these absolute cnuts?l.

Robert Jenrick has cartoon murals painted over at children’s asylum centre

Paintings were considered too welcoming at Kent centre for lone children arriving in UK
