Mister M   1,608 #14 Posted August 19, 2021 Just now, hackey lad said: None needed There's quite a few of Raab's colleagues on his own back benchers who are furious with this. Still, no doubt Raab has the confidence of the supreme leader and moral compass of our country, Boris Johnson. And when you have the confidence of someone of great moral virtue as Johnson, who are the little people to complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You know the one who got a ministerial salary for him and about half the MPs in his party and all he had to do was deliver the votes of his supposedly progressive party to the Conservatives. Oh, you know the bloke. Come to think of it I can't remember the name of his party, either. Why do you have a higher opinion of Jared ?

Well there's not much to discuss until the trial is really over, just on the off chance of someone making a remark & prejudicing the trial.  Effective MP? Someone who struggled to turn up to the House of Commons because of the noise of the Commons Chamber affected his medical conditions but yet he was a club / bar dj? Edited August 19, 2021 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No?  The opinions offered here are the same as you'd get in any pub across the city or on any discussion on Facebook should the topic come up. Besides as it's involving Parliament won't his case end up at the Old Bailey?

He was a workshy waste of space. I think whats worse is he made quite abit of noise about his disability and equal rights when first entering Parliament, only to then go on and use his disability as an excuse for not bothering to do his job.  When he was suspended from the Labour party after his past was revealed he conveniently took ill. Only to be spotted out drinking several times by members of the public. Now it looks like he was fiddling expenses on top of everything, what a horrid little man. Edited August 23, 2021 by geared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
