Neither of these two creeps will regret anything they published but they were definitely rattled. That's why Sir Kieth has his standing orders to destroy the Labour movement. To be fair you can get a decent coat out of asda for £20-£30 so there's no need for Jezza to get all billy big baws in his flashy clothes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 If it wasn't for the meagre allowance for accomodation and the £4k a year no questions asked expenses (before actual expenses) it would be difficult for these poor guys to to work in London on that pittance. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9148/ Plus 15k extra for committee chairs and junior ministers etc. Before any of the usual suspects comes in with the usual "we need good mps" shite, this is how it compares to other government jobs in the London area: https://uk.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=667e80ed72377631&from=serp https://uk.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=40283508cd8ad9d7&from=serp https://uk.indeed.com/m/viewjob?jk=a034b6c12bb6556c&from=serp All of which are obviously jobs we'd like complete welts in. Oh, and none of the above are jobs where you can work on the side as a hedge fund marketer, arms firm director or reactionary contrarian newspaper columnist. Utterly despicable c***s. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they not get paid like £17k or something but yeh I agree doing something about the voting system and stopping sex offenders holding onto their jobs would be a good start to clear out the muck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Labour don't have a stream of hard nosed trade union folk coming through with a history of getting stuff done. Politics now seems to be the reserve of largely talentless people which is a shame. It was nice to see the Lib Dems keep the heat up but doubt he cares. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible that Tory c**t in Aberdeen has been able to brass it out despite being a sex offender [emoji23] There was proposed legislation for a "qualification " bar to be set for anyone standing to be a Councillor. Unsurprisingly it got nowhere given that's the background of a large number of MSPs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a deliberate choice that happened in line with loads of economic levers being phased out of democratic political control. Politics is supposed to be alienating and out of touch with ordinary people now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure that's something we should be wishing for.Also, it's impossible to rule out conflicts of interest, we're not exactly a nation of ascetics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics is full of people who go to university, do a politics degree, come out and work in politics in some fashion, then want to become an MP. No experience of life outside out their 'political bubble'. Completely unsuited to actually being an MP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
