Tory Shame: These MPs Voted To Deny Poor Children A Free School Meal



One name that did stick out was that of Tory MP Mark Francois. Who? I hear you ask.



His past expense claims include Mars bars, Snickers, Kit Kats, wine gums, Twiglets, Jaffa Cakes, chocolate biscuits, Pringles crisps and "bags of sweets". The Conservative MP for Rayleigh in Essex also claimed for Häagen-Dazs ice cream, lemon sorbet, choc ices, crisps, Starburst, Bourneville dark chocolate and Trebor mints. Among his purchases were several Peperami "hot" 5 packs.

A typical receipt from a trip to his local Tesco showed that he spent £7.87 on ice cream, £4.36 on bags of sweets, £3.24 on Kit Kats, £2.68 on Mars bars, £1.28 on Snickers bars, and 96p on wine gums. On another visit he spent £5.04 on Mars bars, £3.24 on Kit Kats and £2.42 on a Pot Noodle. A separate grocery trip saw him picking up two Peperami "hot" 5 packs for £2.18 each, and spending £14.26 on biscuits, and another £3.26 on "bags of sweets".

Yet he thinks it is perfectly fair and reasonable to deny a child from a hard-up family a free hot school meal?

Anyway, on with that list.

Until next time..



Shame on them all.

Starmer Has Sold Labour’s Soul To The Billionaire Media

Image
Sometimes I listen to a bit of commercial radio on a Friday and a Saturday evening. The presenter's name is Nick Abbot, he’s a genuinely funny man and holds many views that would resonate with the vast majority of you that are reading this now.  But Abbot does have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Keir Starmer - despite being a regular defender of Jeremy Corbyn - because he views Starmer as the lesser of two evils rather than what he is: a Tory in a red tie with the charm of a Betterware catalogue. Just last week Abbot almost sounded surprised when he described Starmer as positioning himself  “to the right” of the Tories on immigration.  So I’m wondering what he will have to say about Starmer’s Damascus-like conversion to making Brexit work?  I have always insisted Keir Starmer supported the second referendum campaign so he could use the People’s Vote Ltd nonsense as a Trojan horse to screw over Jeremy Corbyn and claim the leadership for himself and all those that line his po

Keir Starmer Is The Most Deceitful Labour Leader For A Generation

Image
The entirely necessary death of the Conservative party would undoubtedly be so much more congenial if Keir Starmer’s Labour party didn’t spend their time trying to out-Tory the fucking Tories. “But they’re not”, scream the Starmer Stans, knowingly peddling the lies of the establishment favourite and co-defendant of the billionaire media.  Is red authoritarianism more alluring than blue authoritarianism? Is it okay for your right to protest to vanish into thin air because the instigator is carrying a red shroud? Jesus fucking wept. How about your NHS? Privatisation on steroids is acceptable if the seller has a red podium in front of a Union flag instead of a blue one? Fuck your “difficult decisions”, the NHS belongs to us. A liar is still a liar, whether their name is Starmer, Sunak, or Johnson. When your ears hear one thing but your eyes see another you are being lied to.  Starmer is an ideal political leader for the times. He jumps on every passing bandwagon and he will tell anybody a

“Why Are You Employing Tory Policies To Deal With A Tory Crisis?”

It wasn’t really a “shadow cabinet reshuffle”, was it?  I know that’s what the mainstream propaganda called it, but they also called Boris Johnson the greatest Prime Minister since Churchill and Liz Truss a safe pair of hands after the dethroning of the aforementioned  The obsequious lickspittle Starmer should remain on his knees to give thanks to Johnson and Truss because they are the only reasons why he will form the next government.  Surely you didn’t think it was servile Starmer’s complete lack of principles, his marshmallow backbone, and his vuvuzela-like tones that look set to deliver a thumping Labour majority next year, right?  I put myself through the misery of listening to an LBC phone-in with Iain Dale and Rachel Reeves the other day, I’m sure lots of you did too… But one particular caller made the entire 45 minutes worth listening to when he asked Reeves, “why are you employing Tory policies to deal with a Tory crisis?”.  Reeves, along with temporary leader Starmer have mo
