    Ok. We could be here a while if we have to compare every single MP and other politicians.

    How about Rosena Allin-Khan? Previously a humanitarian aid doctor and now working in a hospital during parliamentary recess. Seems like a reasonably good person.

    I’m getting the impression you’re holding Labour politicians to a higher standard than Tories to justify your vote. Up to you but I find that a tad odd.

    Peter Kyle seems like a good guy. By all means feel free to tell me how whatever heinous crimes he’s committed make him unworthy.

    You're descending into a 'my cock is bigger than your cock' argument but, they're all cocks. I'm not arguing Tory v Labour, as I said, I should be a Labour voter but the system is ruined and the people you probably consider thick, because they don't agree with you, actually realised this some time ago. That is why Farage got support and why Trump was elected.
    Ordinary Joe doesn't trust Politicians.

    What better option for anti-politicians than 20 years as an MEP career politician Nigel Farage.

    You are very presumptuous Mr breeze have I stated I voted Tory ?......no I haven't you just assume it because I don't trumpet the red flag at every opportunity.....now you can state another one to go with Mr Kyle until you find one that is squeeky clean if you wish and then you can feel smug that you actually came up with a politician who doesn't dip a hand into the public purse for some "expenses" good hunting

    I’m just listing Labourites who seem like decent people. I’m relying on you for the in-depth knowledge of their misdemeanours.

    Wes Streeting seems sound. Jess Phillips is a bit shouty but I don’t think anyone can argue she isn’t caring and genuine.

    The politics of envy….envious of who and what exactly?

    The right wing have this taped, if you’re left wing and poor, then it’s the politics of envy to decry the right. If you have a few quid and you decry them, then of course you’re a virtue signalling champagne socialist. Easy this right wing lark.

    Like many I have shook my head at some of what's gone on with this government over the last couple of years. Then I remember the shadow cabinet at the last election Jeremy Corbyn, Angela Eagle, Emily Thornberry, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Jonathan Ashworth, Angela Rayner, Richard Burgon, Dawn Butler. Just makes you think what state the country would be in now if that pile of s**t had got in.

    We might have had a massive number of excess deaths, widespread corruption and huge economic decline.

    Yeah thank god for the relatively sublime performance of the Tories. Roll on the next stage of Brexit on January 1st and the rising cost of living.

    Did you even read it. It's a disgusting waste of hard working taxpayer's money but not for the reason in the headline.
    It's the road to a museum which is also a farm track.

    'Bob Baines, estate director at Firle Estate, said: ‘The Firle Estate sold Charleston to an independent charity formed in 1980.

    ‘The access track had remained functional for farm traffic and cottages but was unsuitable for Charleston’s visitors travelling in the average family car.'

    I'm sure he's a diabolical person having been born into money but he doesn't own the museum. The museum applied and the bleeding hearts caved in.

    If you're going to post links it's advisable to actually read them because there's some on here who will. This board isn't the same as your PL boards. We actually research the **** we talk about
