The comments made by Lucy Powell, the Labour MP for Manchester Central, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.
While his constituents need help with the cost of living and want answers about the economy his party has just tanked, Matt Hancock is jetting off to Australia to eat kangaroo testicles. Sums them up really.
No doubt he’ll be voted off first, as this never ends well for MPs.
The comments made by Apsana Begum, the Labour MP for Poplar and Limehouse, on 1 November 2022.
BP have just announced quarterly profits of £7.1 billion — more than double what they made this time last year. A windfall tax & public ownership of energy would slash bills and improve living standards. But Tory MPs repeatedly vote this down in the interests of the super-rich.
The comments made by Olivia Blake, the Labour MP for Sheffield Hallam, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.
Suella Braverman is not fit for office.
Political decisions she made have left children in dangerous, inhumane conditions in Manston.
And yday she described asylum seekers as an “invasion”, the day after a petrol bomb attack on a migrant centre.
The Home Secretary must resign.
The comments made by Neil Gray, the SNP MSP for Airdrie and Shotts, on Twitter on 1 November 2022.
One of the most shameful, inflammatory & dangerous statements I have seen from any politician purporting to represent a mainstream party. This othering is despicable & seeks to defect from Braverman’s own troubles & failure of UKGov to honour international obligations #saferoutes
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.
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?
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.
