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.

Callistemon21 Thu 27-Oct-22 12:38:52

All of the Tories

So no meaningful Opposition?

Keffie12 Thu 27-Oct-22 12:36:54

All of the Tories.

Top 10 would be

Boris
Mogg
IDS
Mark Francois
Gove
Braverman
Patel
Truss
Raab
Anyone from the ERG

Scratches head at why anyone wants Angela Raynor to lose her seat! ? She is an amazing sazzy woman, who is/was a single mom who has made good

Rosy2 Thu 27-Oct-22 12:33:05

Braverman and Patel two awful people. The whole shower of this conservative front bench. Never felt more ashamed of our government this past few years.

DutchDoll Thu 27-Oct-22 12:32:00

Ranil Jayawardena and Rees-Mogg

LisaAN Thu 27-Oct-22 12:31:33

Rees Smug, Johnson, Truss, Kwarteng. And my own MP Dudderidge

No one in particular. I'd like to see the Conservatives thrashed and a sound majority for Labour. The calibre of many MPS across the political spectrum is quite poor. Back in the day it was common for those wanting a career in politics to come from a background in local government. Nowadays there are too many MPs with no experience of the wider world or former occupations. They leave university and apply to be special advisers - a cloistered existence. No wonder there is a lack of empathy with the man/woman in the street.

All the idiot conservatives..no wait, thats ALL of them then?

Barmeyoldbat Thu 27-Oct-22 12:20:54

Hunt for what a mess he has done with the NHS. Patel because she is just hateful. Rees Mogg and my own MP Liam Fox who does nothing

Dynawritecat Thu 27-Oct-22 12:16:56

Me too but it's a shame that means a number of the shadow cabinet. Leaves me with a conundrum.

Theoddbird Thu 27-Oct-22 12:15:33

As I know none of them personally so have no idea what any of them are like in real life I could not answer the question.

Linda65 Thu 27-Oct-22 12:11:48

Our MP Geoffrey Clifton Brown has been in place since the year dot and done zilch but saying that my vote would be for JRM

Callistemon21 Thu 27-Oct-22 12:03:26

Yvette Cooper, Keir Starmer

Surely not! ?

ronib Thu 27-Oct-22 11:58:39

Emily Thornberry, Angela Rayner, Yvette Cooper, Keir Starmer,Diane Abbott ….

Nusgranny Thu 27-Oct-22 11:56:08

Curtaintwitcher how is Starmer a turncoat? Surely that word applies to the current cabinet who switch allegiance whenever they will benefit.

Keir Starmer ! Nicola Sturgeon

Nicola Sturgeon isn't an MP. She won't be standing in the next General Election. (As somebody has already said above)

LizzieDrip Thu 27-Oct-22 11:47:22

^it’s a question of understanding what constitutes acceptable behaviour.

Quite.

A braying mob of MPs - one of whom thought it perfectly OK to sprawl on the bench as if it were a chaise lounge; another who recommends the sharing of prescription antibiotics; a former PM who missed 5 Cobra meetings during the first stages of a pandemic and hurriedly signed a Deal which completely changed the constitutional and economic life of the country, but which he wanted to renege on virtually before the ink was dry; another caught on camera having a quiet grope in the corridor during work time and Lockdown...

... I can see how this feisty, attractive young woman with the wrong accent doesn't conform to such high standards of acceptable behaviour...^

Spot on Dickens. As a member of the Labour Party I was able to vote in the leadership election. KS as leader and AR as deputy was my dream team - and still is!

In answer to the original question, I will rejoice when all Tories loose their seats!

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

Well done to her for becoming Deputy Leader of a great political party against all the odds???

By education do you mean a piece of paper showing you can pass exams?

The previous chancellor & PM had pieces of paper from Oxbridge & look were that got us.

NannyDaft Thu 27-Oct-22 11:42:23

Keir Starmer ! Nicola Sturgeon

All be of them there a bunch of useless twats, our country must be the laughing stock of the world.

The MP for Eastbourne Caroline Ansell who when I spoke at a public meeting (in my private capacity) about the effects of austerity on the poorest in our community; then tried to get me sacked from my job, as I have a higher profile role in the community working for a charity!
I spoke as a private speaker NOT as a rep of the charity so had done nothing wrong! I know its a personal grudge but still!

lizzypopbottle Thu 27-Oct-22 11:40:05

Out of 650 power mad, self-serving hypocrites MPs, which one should I choose? I'm spoilt for choice. ?

LizzieDrip Thu 27-Oct-22 11:37:11

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

What! Have you listened to a range of senior Conservative MPs recently. They change their support more often than their underwear!!!

Pacamac70 Thu 27-Oct-22 11:36:48

All of them, there a load of useless twats, we have so much wrong with this country, we must be the laughing stock of the whole world.
