He’s is the only sane, economically literate, competent person in this shitshow of a government.

He’s on the money when he calls out second rate Labour MPs for being deluded when they go around wanting to tax everyone so that millions can milk more benefits.

But, not doubt, he’ll be smeared by the far left Labour MPs and the increasingly thick cohort of public who thinks that somehow people need more free money, not less. He’ll be out of government in no time. Shame.

What do you mean by "so that millions can scan overcharge on more benefits" ?

even if I change scan to can (a possible typo") I'm still struggling to make sense of it.

McFadden is ok, a touch too Blairite for my taste though.

Sorry, I think he is awful.

From what I have seen of him I am singularly under-impressed.

YABU and the fact he could even be considered (even on MN) indicates how appallingly shallow Labour's pool of talent is.

You're a Nigel supporter, so unfortunately anything you say is not going to be to the benefit of the country. To be honest, more likely in the other direction.

Nothing Labour do can save them now. Thankfully.

I wouldn’t say having conversations with scum like Mandelson is the sort of judgement we need in a senior politician 🙄
