I know - entire council was scrapped after the Tories bankrupted it, and then all straight back into power in the new replacement councils.

My MP has blocked me on Twitter because I’m a lefty.

Come on , what did you call him / her

Indont remember to be honest. I’ll go search and find out.

So turns out I said “don’t vote for starving kids if you don’t want to be called names”

This was during the school meals stuff.

Oh wow, that’s reminded me of the “Gary Sambrook eats big dinners” graffiti!

The party of law and order. Unless it’s one of them.

Five Tory MPs breached code of conduct by trying to influence judge in Charlie Elphicke sex assault trial, committee rules

Charlie Elphicke was suspended from the Conservatives in 2017 after he was accused of sexual offences against two members of staff, and later sentenced to two years in prison.

Still the party of law and order

this the labour party led by a former dps?

By definition that must mean Judges and Juries too?

If that is accurate its appalling and sheer hypocrisy.

Don't look much further than our own council for the hypocrisy .
They are exactly the same

She has blocked public comments on it. She’s a deranged lunatic so I doubt anyone takes seriously anything she says

 

[Ian1779]

She is right though. They are making a load of staff redundant as they’re broke, and employing replacements on insecure, short term contracts.

And I’m sure if her former camper van shag did this she’d have been as vehement

 

[SBAndy]

But he didn’t, so I guess it doesn’t matter a jot.

 

[Ian1779]

She probably would to be fair… not every Labour politician is vacuous and morally bankrupt, even if you do hate her politics.

The spin on the jobs at Labour hq is not true

The spin on the jobs at Labour hq is not true

Neither is the crap about “an exodus of members” membership numbers are about what they were before the leadership contest and always blip up during a contest.

So much dishonest crap written about the party by salty people right now. I read a Novara article (not something I often do but thought id give them a shot) in the first paragraph I spotted three outright lies.

With friends like these who needs enemies? The left can’t whine about “saboteurs” or “red Tories” any more. They’re as bad or worse than the right were under Corbyn. It’s pathetic. Especially as Starmer isn’t even on the right. He’s soft left like Milliband was. If they kneecap him they’re just going to end up with someone actually on the right. So self destructive and stupid.

Which bit isn’t true?

Read the article you posted. They aren’t the same job and they aren’t agency workers. It’s not fire and rehire.

they’re hiring temporary workers to clear the backlog of complaints. The article spin on a basic WFH temporary contract is hilarious. “They ask people to have their own Wi-Fi “

So they are hiring temporary workers to do the jobs of those they are making redundant.

 

[David O'Day]

no they are not

 

[Ian1779]

no they are not

So if they are thinking about making redundancies (which they are) then why not re-deploy existing staff to do the jobs of the temporary staff, if there is such a need to deal with a backlog of complaints?
