this. And Priti Patel, and Raab, and Truss, and DS and Cummings and quite a few more.

David Dimbleby- left wing ahahahahahaha
not! Neither is Laura Kuensberg- who has supported the Tories and Johnson thus far- but has turned now she has realised the shambles and lies they have created.

They are all tied up with the election Jura2. Thought you would have realised that. We are only seeing the leaders on TV or occasional interviews with one or two others.
And David Dimbleby - left wing - who would have thought it? Maybe that's why the BBC has swung more to the right lately. They were always very left wing.

Where is Moggy- he seems to have vanished ;)

David Dimbleby today- brilliant ''"I think probably the mistake [on Question Time] was that it was nearly always Farage – but the problem was that there didn’t seem to be anyone else from Ukip who could string two words together.”''

I wish they'd stop showing us PA. We all know what he looks like and I for one don't want to keep seeing his face every day. He makes my skin crawl.

Callistemon Sun 24-Nov-19 19:39:32

None of them really on any of these threads.
But PA does.

Oh, perhaps Keith Vaz, yes

lemongrove Sun 24-Nov-19 19:19:33

Surprising .....?
Chestnut haha, they forgot about Moggy.

Oakeshott- yes, nasty indeed- a real traitor as she hid what Aaron Banks was up to with the Russians- and even worse, for personal financial gain. She should be sued for treason.

Chestnut Sun 24-Nov-19 17:51:24

But do they make your skin crawl? Making your flesh creep does not count. And you've left Rees-Mogg off your list, I'm sure he must belong there.

varian Sun 24-Nov-19 17:41:29

Farage, Johnson, Dominic Cummings, Dominic Raab, Pritti Patel, Esther McVey, IDS, Mark Francois, Gove, David Davis, Aaron Banks, Richard Tice and his ghastly girlfriend Isabel somebody (great favourite of the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation) - all make my flesh creep. They are determined to destroy our country.

I've never seen Dominic Grieve stamp his feet. What I've seen is a calm, rational, intelligent politician, with whom I disagree on almost everything except his insistence that parliamentary procedure is followed fairly and legally. He's what I expect from a Conservative politician and I have every respect for him.

growstuff Sun 24-Nov-19 17:27:48

That's a bit of an understatement Dinahmo! grin It would be unkind to call Cleverly thick as mince, but … well … I'll try to think of something kinder wink.

jura2 Sun 24-Nov-19 17:25:58

lemon ''jura he’s your hero for one reason only.....he wants to stamp his foot and say ‘I’m not leaving the EU, so there!’''

it is about his reasons, his grasp of the consequences of No Deal or leave. Nothing about Grieve is about foot stamping or ...so there either, for sure.

Dinahmo Sun 24-Nov-19 17:21:32

Because he's rather slow witted?

lemongrove Sun 24-Nov-19 17:16:33

Why is James Cleverley ‘out of his depth’ ?
I can see various shadow cabinet members that plainly are mind you, including the tall blonde in glasses and the blonde with the weird eyebrows who always flank Corbyn wherever he goes.Dianne Abbott has been out of her depth too ( for a long time.)

lemongrove Sun 24-Nov-19 17:12:56

It’s the aggrieved look growstuff the ‘it’s not fair!’ ....not saying he actually looks like a toddler ( how strange would that be for a grown man?) ?
jura he’s your hero for one reason only.....he wants to stamp his foot and say ‘I’m not leaving the EU, so there!’

Chestnut Sun 24-Nov-19 17:07:29

Dominic Grieve doesn't make my skin crawl at all. Only what he says.

growstuff Sun 24-Nov-19 15:13:02

I've never seen a toddler who looks like Dominic Grieve.

I'm adding Mark Francois to the list.

Matt Hancock has that "spoilt toddler look" about him, but I don't think he's really to blame … he's just out of his depth, as is James Cleverly.

jura2 Sun 24-Nov-19 14:55:40

Dominic Grieve- the most honest politician around today- and my absolute hero.

For the spoilt toddler look, you really need to look at Raab, for sure.

But back to morals- yes, you've just proven my point. Thanks.

lemongrove Sun 24-Nov-19 14:41:45

Oh yes
Dominic Grieve! Him of the spoilt toddler looks.

Calendargirl Sun 24-Nov-19 14:38:07

Dominic Grieve- yuk!

growstuff Sun 24-Nov-19 14:36:46

Never mind Poppyred. There are plenty of other forums on GN.

PS. I'm not sure why but I keep mixing you up with Peonyrose.

Poppyred Sun 24-Nov-19 14:28:56

?? I forgot how nasty, bullish and pedantic those that frequent the News and Politics Forums are...silly me!

jura2 Sun 24-Nov-19 13:59:15

the policies of those you vote for are indeed a reflection of your own beliefs and morality, for sure.

How do you know about my voting history? But where I previously lived, in several locations, meant that due to FPP, my vote would go straight in the bin- and it did. I was not expecting to vote for labour this time- as I joined the Lib Dems.

lemongrove Sun 24-Nov-19 13:07:31

I must add to my little list ( there’s none that will be missed tra la)
Barry Gardiner
Dianne Abbott
John Ashcroft
Laura Piddcock
And a particularly smarmy Conservative MP called Julian something or other who surfaces now and again at PMQ’s to smirk and say something in an oily voice.

lemongrove Sun 24-Nov-19 13:01:16

Nothing to do with morality jura and let’s be honest here,
You have never voted Labour in your life, but are so incensed about us leaving the EU you want another go to vote against it, which is what Labour are offering.
No Socialist conversion for you!
