Come the next General Election, who would you most rejoice to see losing their seat?

(Apart from Boris, that is, assuming you’re not a fan.)

Mine would be Jacob Rees-Mogg, no question.

It could be a long list but Johnson, Truss, Kwarteng, Rees-Mogg, Dorries, Patel at the top. Also Corbyn and some of his hard Left acolytes.

Soozikinzi Tue 25-Oct-22 00:34:01

Mogg , Dorries , Fabricant for me .And why Rayner ? Is it because she's Northern and dragged herself up from nothing ?

Polls say the Tories will lose ALL their Scottish seats ...all six of them...that'll do nicely .For a start .But the vile Murray Labour unionist ONLY Scottish labour MP often seen dressed in a Union flag suit and known to get donations from Tory donors...to keep the SNP out of his seat .
And they wonder why Labour is dead here !

Michael Fabricant.

Sir Keir Starmer. I don't understand how any political party could choose such a turncoat as their leader.

BigBertha1 Tue 25-Oct-22 07:09:26

Liz Truss

Whitewavemark2 Tue 25-Oct-22 07:12:38

Patel, Braverman and JRM of course,

Jacob Rees-Mogg. I’d love for that smug smile to be wiped off his face.

Mumofthree Tue 25-Oct-22 07:33:43

so many to choose from, in no particular order: Boris, Mogg, Priti Patel and Therese Coffey

NannyJan53 Tue 25-Oct-22 07:40:06

Any Tory really, but Matt Hancock, Priti Patel for starters.

Blondiescot Tue 25-Oct-22 07:42:49

Every single Tory.

David Mundell.

He once told me that I shouldn't be embarrassed about voting Tory if that's what I really wanted to do. Not the best judge of character.

Closely followed by Alister Jack.

I’d prefer it to be my own MP, who is Fay Jones. If she goes, the whole pack of cards is down for the Tories, so I won’t need to opt for anybody else.

Sara1954 Tue 25-Oct-22 08:12:45

Yes, Rees-Mogg, Angela Raynor, and Michael Gove.

kissngate Tue 25-Oct-22 08:18:02

Liz Truss
Kwasi Karteng
J R Mogg
Jeremy Corbyn
John McDonnell

Kier Starmer for nominating Tom Watson for a seat in the House of Lords.
Tom Watson ruined so many lives ( with the help of the Met police) without a shred of evidence. Some died before their names were cleared.

Everyone who claims they don't know what a woman is.

I was going to say that but that is most of the Shadow Cabinet.
Perhaps they can have a guided tour of an obs and gynae department before the next GE?

Not to mention a lesson in basic biology.

Angela Rayner, because she is uneducated, and has made no attempt to rectify her lack of education through all the opportunities available nowadays.

volver Tue 25-Oct-22 08:59:00

Crikey.

volver Tue 25-Oct-22 09:05:22

Just thought I'd say.... John Major scraped three O levels and never went on to further or higher education.

I'm sure everyone can decide for themselves why Rayner gets more criticism than this millionaire ex-PM.

Witzend Tue 25-Oct-22 09:13:36

As regards A. R., I don’t think it’s at all a question of education, or lack of it - it’s a question of understanding what constitutes acceptable behaviour.

volver Tue 25-Oct-22 09:20:25

it’s a question of understanding what constitutes acceptable behaviour.
Try to deport people illegally, allow the release of effluent onto beaches, lie down on the Commons Benches, hand out antibiotics like sweeties and crash the economy.

But for goodness sake, don't be common.

I'm not a fan (politically speaking) of Rayner. But - in what way is she "uneducated"?

Casdon Tue 25-Oct-22 09:37:17

It’s amazes and saddens me that ordinary working class women are the cruellest critics of another ordinary working class woman who has made it in politics and wants to make positive changes to the lives of other women like herself. It says a lot more about her critics than it does about her.

Quokka Tue 25-Oct-22 09:38:16

Another vote for Rees-Mogg.
