You can take the woman out of Stockport but....? What a showing up when the deputy Speaker singled her out & rebuked her. Looked like a frightened 5 yr old. Truly embarrassing when she's on the front bench and supposed to be representing the party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I have to watch most things that Nicky Morgan says multiple times, to let them sink in. It still hasn’t sunk in that she’s actually a part of our government rather than selling shoes somewhere.

iansheff 88 #81 Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Labour MP Apsana Begum has been charged with housing fraud after questions arose over how she acquired her London council flat. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/labour-mp-apsana-begum-charged-with-housing-fraud/ar-BB1autCF?ocid=msedgntp What is it with MPs, they have a good salary and generous expenses and yet still want more.

In my opinion he will have a complex number of influences on his views and actions, starting with his parents and upbringing. His political affiliation may have resulted in joining a political party probably after the age of 16 and therefore much of his basic personality will have been formed many years before that. He is also a man, white, has long hair and a beard. He may also even be a Norwich City fan. He will fit any number of categories. Where are the links?

Did you read the second article? I think it's safe to say that someone who sends MP's emails telling them to support Corbyn or get out of the party is a Corbyn supporter.
