    Nadine Dorries – 2022 Comments on the UK’s Damaged Reputation

    The comments made by Nadine Dorries, the Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, on Twitter on 16 October 2022.

    I cannot imagine there’s one G7 country which thinks we’re worthy of a place at the table.

    The removal of one electorally successful PM, the disgraceful plotting to remove another by those who didn’t get their way first time round is destabilising our economy and our reputation.

    John Glen – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by John Glen, the Conservative MP for Salisbury and South Wiltshire, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    I welcome the decisions taken by the Chancellor to bring stability to the markets – tackling inflation whilst protecting the most vulnerable have always been my priority. Jeremy Hunt is taking the right decisions in the national interest.

    George Osborne – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by George Osborne, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    Congrats to Jeremy Hunt for taking big bold steps to restore U.K. fiscal credibility – reversing most of mini budget & in effect raising income tax (from the 19p legislated by Johnson gov). Not sensible for PM to hide away – she needs to front this to have any chance of survival.

    The comments made by Chloe Smith, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    The Government has taken action to ensure economic stability by making the necessary changes to our Growth Plan.

    We remain committed to the long term reforms that will deliver economic growth but know that this must be underpinned by stability.

    Ben Bradley – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Ben Bradley, the Conservative MP for Mansfield, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    Well, that effectively renders all the political fallout, criticism, dive in the polls etc of the last few weeks entirely pointless doesn’t it… Right back where we started, just far less popular than before.

    Caroline Lucas – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Caroline Lucas, the Green Party MP for Brighton Pavilion, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    Hunt smoothly says he’ll take “whatever tough decisions are necessary” after saying there’d be public service cuts – why are such “difficult” decisions always on the backs of poorest & public services, when instead he could take the “difficult” decision to up taxes on wealthiest?

  • Suella Braverman – 2022 Statement on Standards in Policing

    Suella Braverman – 2022 Statement on Standards in Policing

    The statement made by Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, on 17 October 2022.

    The public rightly expects the highest standards of behaviour from police officers and the vast majority meet this expectation.

    But recently too many high-profile incidents and reports, especially in London, have damaged trust.

    This cannot continue.

    It’s unfair on the public and lets down other serving officers.

    Culture and standards in the police must improve.

    And where an officer has fallen seriously short of these expectations, demonstrable, public action must be taken.

    It’s absolutely vital that the police act to restore trust, return to common sense policing and treat the public and victims with the respect they deserve.

    I welcome the Met Police’s commitment to tackling the issues raised in the Baroness Casey report and hope this review will also help to address underlying concerns.

    Ed Davey – 2022 Comments on Government’s Emergency Statement

    The comments made by Ed Davey, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    So much damage has already been done by these reckless Tories.

    Now they will slash spending on our NHS and schools, while propping up bankers’ bonuses to keep their donors happy.

    General Election NOW.

  • Nadine Dorries – 2022 Comments on Bringing Back Boris Johnson

    Nadine Dorries – 2022 Comments on Bringing Back Boris Johnson

    The comments made by Nadine Dorries, the Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    There is no unity candidate.

    No one has enough support.

    Only one MP has a mandate from party members and from the British public – a mandate with an 80 seat majority. Boris Johnson.

    The choices are simple – back Liz, if not bring back Boris or face a GE within weeks.

    Alison Thewliss – 2022 Comments Comparing Media Performances of Liz Truss and Nicola Sturgeon

    The comments made by Alison Thewliss, the SNP MP for Glasgow Central, on Twitter on 17 October 2022.

    Such a massive contrast between the First Minister spending an hour and fifteen minutes presenting the case for independence and taking questions from a range of journalists, and the Prime Minister barely able to form a sentence, taking only four questions before scuttling off.
