Good on Kemi!

I'm no fan of Kemi Badenoch, but I'm even less of a fan of Robert Jenrick, and I'm rather delighted to see that she has sacked him and withdrawn the whip before he could jump to Reform.

She has definitely had the last laugh here. He must be spitting bullets!!

Immigration isn't going to help that. Everyone knew that a long time ago. Hence Brexit.

Anyway Rachel Reeves has scuppered recruitment in even those low paying jobs.

Yes low paying and graduate included.

Well obviously you are left wing and of a Bridget P type so I don't know why you would bother announcing that you won't vote for Reform, Reform being on the right?

Game’s up - this has to be parody account, surely? ‘A Bridget P type’… Such niche trolling.

Nice swerve and change of direction. I agree with @Sherbs12 , but I expect that post will be reported.

Agree what? You can’t read other views without concluding that, why?

You literally just said...."you’d also find me as ‘chippy’ as Bridget Phillipson:

Are you backing down on that statement?

Why a change of direction? Weren't we just discussing low paying jobs?

Funny. I just notice you do as @Sherbs12did when you don’t like views. A typical Labour thing. Why is that?

We were talking about unions, the long term effects of Thatcher's actions on their powers and the impact on wages and welfare. You then switched to immigration, Brexit and Reeves.

I will leave you to your fun.

bemoresloth · 17/01/2026 12:23

Keep people on low wages and then complain about them needing benefits to top up?

Brexit was supposed to boost wages

It's not a typical Labour thing, all political leanings do it, incl you.

What I think has happened between those two is that

Sherbs said she herself was as chippy as Bridget Philipson

I said you are a Bridget Philipson type. As per what she had said about herself.

Sherbs then was outraged at me suggesting she was in any way like BP and accused me of being a parody account or a troll

Pandora agreed

And then obviously I (in some bemusement, mind) quoted Sherb's own words back to her.

So I think they've just got into a little muddle of their own making.

You dont want comapnies to pay their workers a decent minimum wage then?

Are they not connected?

You said "We wouldn't have the situation where the state is subsidising low paying employers."

I then commented on why I think we really have low wages. Unions wont be any use if there arent any jobs.

So you then flounce off in a huff.

Agree with people who have the same or similar political leaning as you. Hence you agreeing with Pineneedlesincarpet.

Of course people agree, but troll hunting is against the guidelines, hence a pp saying I agree then backing down.

If @Sherbs12wants to let mnhq know they think that then she should contact directly.

Blimey Eastern, you are almost as good at re-writing history than piney.

I knew what you were trying to do and declined to step into your really not very subtle trap. I am still team Sherbs12.
