On a separate note, what sort of person would be proud to have him as their MP?

I imagine the kind of person who won't be eating carb slabs and cow juice every morning of their lives.

October 31st was another broken promise. He should be dead in a ditch by now, which strangely enough, is another broken promise.

Even when confronted with her use of such language she shows no compassion, no humility and, of course, no apology. Yet another despicable performance by a high ranking Tory. How much further to the right can this shower of utter charlatans drag the UK? Pathetic. 

'Suella Braverman has said she will not apologise for her language after a Holocaust survivor told the home secretary her description of migrants as an “invasion” was akin to rhetoric the Nazis used to justify murdering her family.'

"Labour kills. If the Tories were in opposition and Labour presiding over the scale of the current NHS emergency, Lynton Crosby, serial political strategy adviser to the Conservative party, would be merciless. His team would want the Tories relentlessly to pin the excess death toll on Labour. Boris Johnson, as leader of that opposition, would turn up the emotional amperage shamelessly. The needlessly dead in crowded A&E departments, hospital corridors or after long ambulance waits, courtesy of 13 years of Labour neglect and mismanagement, would be chronicled in excoriating detail by the rightwing media. The public would be enraged.

And the public would be right. But it is a Conservative government, media outrage is limited and the public has not turned vengeful. Certainly, it supports striking health workers. Yet so far the link between the 600,000 people who last October and November waited four hours or more in A&E before treatment, and death rates above past averages, is largely the province of statisticians and health experts. The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM) estimates that the current excess death rate is “roughly” between 300 and 500 a week, a claim disputed by both the NHS and the prime minister; be “careful about bandying around such numbers”, Rishi Sunak says, refusing to acknowledge that the NHS is in crisis. His caution is understandable: the Tory party is in danger of being labelled the death party."

The bald horse warmer Zahawi caught not paying his taxes.

Mind you, I’m sure it was all well intended to trickle down eventually though eh?

Rotten to the core like the rest of them.

"Johnson benefited from the backing of Sam Blyth, a Canadian millionaire businessman in the education sector, who is a second cousin of the former prime minister’s father, Stanley. He is understood to have had use of the credit facility from February 2021 while in No 10 but did not draw down the full amount.

Johnson and his family are also believed to have stayed in a holiday villa owned by Blyth in the Dominican Republic

Blyth does not appear to have business interests in the UK but he founded a Canadian chain of private schools known as Blyth Academy. He is an adviser to a Canadian global education company ApplyBoard, where the international chair is Johnson’s brother, the former Conservative minister Jo Johnson.

The financial setup was revealed by the Sunday Times, which also reported that Blyth was on a recommendation list from headhunters for a chief executive job at the British Council, a non-departmental public body, at around the same time. His name did not progress."

Nadhim Zahawi to pay millions in tax after dispute over family finances

It’s getting like Trump’s America where what would have been a major scandal just a few years ago now barely causes a ripple.

Decades ago, the media would have been all over it and his career would have been over with legal investigations pending.

These days however, the media's job is to simply distract you from the fact that people like Nadhim Zahawi have more than trebled their wealth over the past decade while they tell the rest of us that the "money has ran out".

This, of course is the same Tory Party that was lecturing us all about dangerous language and trying to drag Angela Rayner's name through the mud for calling them scum after David Amess was killed. 

She was right of course, they are utter scum.

It gets worse. The Home Office are trying to have the exchange taken down from the Internet. There must be someone in the Department with a set of baws ... or maybe they've all been sacked and there are only fascists left.

You'd think that rather than pushing for further internet censorship, they would simply release the entire footage online with the "full context" and allow people to make up their own minds from that.

Unless of course, the entire footage doesn't actually alter the context whatsoever.

Yup, the UK Government has pretty much gone full Trump.
