Current Affairs 2017 General Election

I'm not entirely sure the implied ability to work together is entirely factual like:

 

[Minimeister]

They must think we're a nation of S*n readers. The Tories now calling for parties to work together. All for the good of the country of course, nothing to do with them not having the majority they need. Trying to take the morale high ground by calling for 'grown up' politics. What a pathetic party they've become.

Finally had a response from my local MP about voting against easing the public sector pay cap. Main reason given was because it was proposed by Labour.

Tories may have to sack an MP

Her excuse is "The comment was entirely unintentional"

Her excuse is "The comment was entirely unintentional"

"I did not mean to be a racist, it just happened"

 

[Duncan Disordely]

She's gone for the "apologise for offended caused" but not actually apologised for, or condemned, the words she's used.

 

[Donald Twain]

You can't get away with that ! the last peer who said it admitted " he'd left his brains behind" that was in 2008! What's her excuse!!

 

[rascal]

What causes people to say or think these things though? I mean I don't even...

 

[orchard]

If they had any decency.


*will not happen...

"Anne Marie Morris, the MP for Newton Abbot in Devon, was recorded casually using the term at the East India Club in London, where she was appearing on a panel to talk about Brexit alongside Tory colleagues Bill Cash and John Redwood".

Did Cash and/or Redwood pull her to one side? If not why not. Which Tory MPs have told her what they think of her using that term.

Mutant Abbot is a fairly safe Tory seat, unfortunately.

What was the absolute horror thinking coming out with something like that?

Not the first time something untoward has happened to her.

Tory candidate distances herself from 'racist remark' made by her agent and partner at hustings
By DanielClark | Posted: June 01, 2017

Newton Abbot Tory candidate Anne Marie Morris has distanced herself from comments made by her electoral agent and partner who claimed 'that the crisis in education was due entirely to non-British born immigrants and their high birth rates'.

The comment was made at the hustings event organised by the Newton Abbot Chamber of Trade at the town's University Technical College on Tuesday night.

During the debate around education and fair funding of schools, a member of the public stood up and said: 'that the crisis in education was due entirely to non-British born immigrants and their high birth rates'.

It has since emerged that the person who made that remark was Roger Kendrick, who is both Anne Marie Morris's partner and her electoral agent".

Unbelievable. Sounds like a pantomime at the election hustings.
