Be worried again if you are disabled and in receipt of benefits Nadine Dorries and Tory cronies are watching you. Although she concedes that disabled people are indeed allowed to use the internet, share their opinions etc. Its not to be used for meeting up, community presence and a social life is way too much lefty pandering.

So she did some work before she became a minister, was only doing 5 hours a month, stopped working for them in June, and has been cleared since. “Home Office sources said Patel had been “through a full process” of examination by the advisory committee on business appointments (Acoba), the body that monitors private sector employment by ministers and ex-ministers, and that “no issues were raised”......carry on.....

Hopefully she's learnt some lessons after her unfortunate Israel affair.

Horrible individual who should be nowhere near frontline politics...

Really. No issues were raised about someone who had a clear conflict of interest?

Thanks mate, thought it was just me...

Implemented huge cuts to public spending, massively and disproportionately affecting the poorest in our society.
Sanctioned a badly thought out referendum.
Had no plans how do implement the results of the referendum causing political chaos and conflict.
Overseen catastrophic failures in infrastructure projects such as HS2 and the ferry fiasco.
Have pandered further to the right due to the rise of far right groups that are threatening to eat up their voter base.
They are a party without principle, morals and direction. The only reason someone could continue to vote for them is to protect their own self interests at a detriment to the wider populace. Shameful

Unfortunately, the above applies to all parties. British politics needs a refresh. I don't see how labour or the Tories represent me. The greens take climate change seriously but have no meaningful policies beyond household recycling.

I meant the second bit, not the specific examples.

All politicians are only interested in self preservation and would argue with any opposition policy, even if it was beneficial to the country.

Ah ok. Guess that’s up for debate and I don’t have the mistrust in politicians from all sides of the house that others have.
