To finally be looking forward to a GE?

[Cadela]

The past election/PM changes have been horrendous. The visceral disappointment was awful each time.

I can’t wait to actually celebrate this year. I know, I know, Labour are going to set fire to the economy and tax everyone £3mil each and it’ll cost you 4 trillion a month to send you kid to private school, and all women will perish immediately because only Tories know what a woman is

But finally! It’s been a long fucking time coming.

Omg me too 😂 i felt so gloaty today about Sadiq!

@DuncinToffee Nah you did not because politicians are politicians and I do not waste my time obsessing about political parties. However, I dislike when people try to shut you up with the Trump thing as you did.

How do you rate your comprehension?

I said ‘Grown ups? Like people who call fellow MPs ‘scum’ ‘transphobic’ ‘dwarfs’ etc? Or like grown ups who don’t understand scientific fact? Grown ups who lie? Grown ups who stop speaking to fellow MPs because they say something they don’t like?..’

All of the above are actual things that Labour Party MPs have said / done. The opposite of the ‘grown ups’ you said you were looking forward to seeing running the country. Absolutely nothing incoherent or rant like there. Just factual information. Again, I know you might not like that. That’s ok. Neither does your party.

No, you made yourself look a bit silly.

Which MP used the term "dwarf" in relation to another MP?

How do you rate your comprehension?

Well let’s put it this way, I got the highest score ever recorded in a verbal reasoning test so it’s probably OK. I think we’re probably done here now, don’t you? This is achieving the square root of nothing.

Ah bless. Cute that you all stick up for each other.

And I do apologise. They didn’t say ‘dwarf’! They said ‘pint-sized loser’. Much more grown up.

How would you describe the last 14 years of Tory government? Genuinely, I’m interested to know. We’ve had austerity, Brexit, the (mis) handling of Covid, the corruption, illegalities, the resignations, the Truss experiment, two unelected PMs, the unelected cabinet minister (Cameron), Lee Anderson, inciting racism (Braverman), criticism from fellow Tories (Stewart, May, Major, Clarke, etc), a cost of living crisis while energy companies/supermarkets record massive profits.

Yours is such an interesting message and choice of language (not to mention irrelevant comparison) from someone who described Labour supporters as ‘emotional’ in response to a comment on them being ‘uncivilised’…

And no, I’m not deluded enough to think Labour will rescue everything - that’s not how people think in reality.

I do think it’s pushing it to say either side act like grown ups. We tell our kids not to name call yet our politicians are all at. Embarrassing really. I have a 20 year old who can vote in a general election for the first time and it’s difficult to present either side in a favourably light to him.

Ah, you are not going to answer my question. Because we all know it didn't happen.

Nadine Dorries called Sunak a pint sized loser. Very different to using the term "dwarf". I don't like Dorries, but one should be accurate.

*at it.

Was it the same MP who talked about picaninnies and bumboys?

I answered your question above.

Don't forget describing Muslim women as "letterboxes".

Agree

So no one called anyone a dwarf, You were making things up.

I think pint sized loser, said by labour, and dwarf, said by a Tory, are both awful. You can’t really defend either of them.

😂😂 I corrected myself. But instead of accepting that you go off on a little childish detour. Peculiar but unsurprising.

Nobody said dwarf and it was a Tory who originally said pint sized loser.

It was Blossom who said

‘I’m looking forward to a responsible government compromised of grown ups. How lovely it would be to have the same PM for five years and no infighting.’

I was correcting her, because clearly Labour MPs name call and give silent treatment like some children. But again, don’t let facts get in your way..

That was awful. Was that Boris? I do think, or hope, Rishi is a little more decent in the use of his language, not that I like him.

And then we have Starmer saying it’s toxic to have conversations about only women having a cervix and refusing to apologise to RD.

They are all an embarrassment.

Lovely Angela. She also called the tories ‘scum’. Grown up.

lovely Kier giving Rosie the silent treatment. Lovely Lloyd well.. well know how grown up he is.

Sorry, what facts do you mean?

You weren’t correcting me at all because infighting has nothing to do with the cut and thrust of PMQs - where the Tories also have come up with a selection of choice insults.
