    Nadine Dorries – 2022 Comments on Boris Johnson Returning as Prime Minister

    The comments made by Nadine Dorries, the Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, on Twitter on 20 October 2022.

    One person was elected by the British public with a manifesto and a mandate until January 2025.

    If Liz Truss is no longer Prime Minister there can be no coronation of previously failed candidates.

    MPs must demand return of Boris Johnson – if not it has to be leadership election or a General Election.

    Labour leading on LGBT+ rights. The Tories paralysed by chaos.

    Wera Hobhouse – 2022 Comments on Fracking Vote

    The comments made by Wera Hobhouse, the Liberal Democrat MP for Bath, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    It is shocking that outspoken climate change deniers are back in force, emboldened by a new government that intends to bring back fracking against all the Climate odds.

    People don’t want fracking. They have it clear in every community across our country.

    Robin Walker – 2022 Comments on Fracking Vote

    The comments made by Robin Walker, the Conservative MP for Worcester, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    Spoke in today’s debate to stick to our manifesto pledge of a moratorium on fracking – made clear that the science has not changed & that local communities need a veto even if it did. Voted against labour’s 3 page motion to take control of the order paper.

    Munira Wilson – 2022 Comments on the State of the Government

    The comments made by Munira Wilson, the Liberal Democrat MP for Twickenham, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    This shower of incompetents supposedly governing the country can’t even govern themselves. The whole Government is in meltdown and nothing is moving forward on extremely important issues. They have absolutely no right to govern us anymore. We need a general election NOW!

    Charles Walker – 2022 Comments on the State of the Government and “Talentless People”

    The comments made by Charles Walker, the Conservative MP for Broxbourne, on 19 October 2022.

    CHARLES WALKER

    This whole affair is inexcusable, it is a pitiful reflection on the Conservative Parliamentary party at every level. It reflects really badly obviously of course on the Government of the day.

    INTERVIEWER

    Is there any coming back from this?

    CHARLES WALKER

    I don’t think so, but I have to say, I’ve been of that view since two weeks ago. This is an absolute disgrace, as a Conservative MP of 17 years who has never been a Minister, who has got on with it loyally most of the time, I think it’s a shambles and a disgrace, I think it’s utterly appalling.

    I’m livid. I shouldn’t say this, but I hope all those people who put Liz Truss in Number 10 I hope it was worth it for the Ministerial red box, I hope it was worth it to sit around the Cabinet table. Because the damage they have done to our party is extraordinary.

    INTERVIEWER

    You look furious.

    CHARLES WALKER

    I am, I’ve had enough of talentless people putting their tick in the right box, not because it’s in the national interest, but because it’s in their own personal interest to achieve Ministerial position.

    Rosena Allin-Khan – 2022 Comments on Fracking Vote

    The comments made by Rosena Allin-Khan, the Labour MP for Tooting, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    I voted to ban fracking.

    This was in the Conservative Manifesto, it was Conservative policy, it’s a promise their MPs were elected on. But we witnessed Tory MPs being dragged in to vote against.

    Shameful.

    Vicky Ford – 2022 Comments on Ethiopia

    The comments made by Vicky Ford, the Minister of State for Development in the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, on 19 October 2022.

    Back in Ethiopia with two priorities: conflict in the north and the drought.

    As International Development Minister, look forward to seeing UK aid supporting the humanitarian responses but will also express UK’s deep concerns over renewed fighting. Ceasefire needed now.

    Cat Smith – 2022 Comments on Government Whips During Fracking Vote

    The comments made by Cat Smith, the Labour MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    I voted against fracking in the Commons tonight. During that vote I saw things I’ve never seen, like the Deputy Prime Minister, physically pick up an upset Tory MP and put him in the division lobby. Unbelievable scenes. Bullying like nothing I’ve seen in my 7 years as an MP.

    Ellie Reeves – 2022 Comments on Fracking Vote

    The comments made by Ellie Reeves, the Labour MP for Lewisham West and Penge, on Twitter on 19 October 2022.

    She [Liz Truss] walked past me in the chamber as I was on my way to the voting lobby with a big grin on her face whilst her MPs were literally in tears. You could not make this stuff up. General Election now.
