@JohnnyMercerUK: It's tough for Tory MP's this weekend... [View all]

It’s tough for Tory MP’s this weekend, but we actually have a proud record of fighting poverty - the life chances agenda transformed places like Plymouth. But you know all this; this is your trade - the hate you’ve whipped up is extraordinary. No-one voted to ‘starve’ anyone.
...Yeah that is what happens when you decide that ideologically driven clap trap is more important than actually making sure kids to not go hungry when we in the midst of an economic crisis that is hitting the lowest paid worse, in a pandemic. When you think of the billions they have wasted on track and trace but chucking a few quid to vulnerable kids so they do not go hungry during the holidays it a step too far.
Going to guess that the families that have been driven into poverty by a decade of austerity and then the utter cluster fuck that is the Tory management of Covid and Brexit are having a tougher weekend than this bunch of out of touch, elite wankers. Still at least they have a new slogan as we head into a long dark winter of discontent.
