    Kate Osborne – 2022 Comments on BP’s Profits

    The comments made by Kate Osborne, the Labour MP for Jarrow, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    £7.1 billion in profit taken by BP in the last quarter – yet millions across the country cannot afford to turn their heating on.

    £8 billion in profit for Shell in the last quarter – whilst we have millions of children living in poverty.

    Poverty is a political choice.

    The comments made by Caroline Lucas, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Great to know that Matt Hancock has worked out a way to represent his constituents from the jungle… otherwise I’m assuming he’ll be returning his MP’s salary?

    The comments made by Barbara Keeley, the Labour MP for Worsley and Eccles South, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    What is seriously wrong with Matt Hancock MP going on I’m a Celeb:

    1.His constituents won’t be represented in Parliament

    2. Those bereaved by COVID, particularly those whose died in care homes, have serious questions to raise with him as the COVID Inquiry gets under way.

    Karl Turner – 2022 Comments on Matt Hancock Going on I’m a Celebrity

    The comments made by Karl Turner, the Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull East on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Can understand the compromise here. Poor Matty would have had to turn down the fee. He will be struggling on his standard MP salary nowadays. What to do? Disappear to Australia for a lot of cash or represent his constituents for his circa 85K? Why doesn’t he cause a by-election?

    Angela Rayner – 2022 Comments on Islamophobia Awareness Month

    The comments made by Angela Rayner, the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, on 1 November 2022.

    This Islamophobia Awareness Month, Labour stands together against hatred.   British Muslims are victims of the highest proportion of religiously motivated hate crime.   The soft-on-crime Tories have broken their promises. They’ve failed to tackle its rise on their watch. #IAM2022

    The comments made by Justin Madders, the Labour MP for Ellesmere Port and Neston, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Very clever of the Tories to get Matt Hancock eating kangaroo testicles so we don’t talk about the broken asylum system, the impending recession, the crisis engulfing the NHS, the cost of living crisis, growing inequality and the crumbling public sector more generally.

    The comments made by Rosena Allin-Khan, the Labour MP for Tooting, on 1 November 2022.

    Braverman’s language in Parliament yesterday was appalling, but the Tories only know how to stoke hatred.

    It’s about time we had a Government which shows decency and respect.

    The statement made by Matthew Pennycook, the Labour MP for Greenwich and Woolwich, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Yesterday evening saw significant disorder on the Greenwich Peninsula involving a large group of youths discharging fireworks. This was deeply distressing for residents and I will be having further discussions with the police, council and others about how we tackle the problem.

    The comments made by Alastair Campbell, the former Director of Communications at 10 Downing Street, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.

    Of course perfectly understandable that Matt Hancock loses the whip for deciding to become a national joke by going on I’m a celeb. But what about Johnson and his never-ending holidays? Added to which both should be charged over Covid misconduct in public office anyway!!
