I agree with Bridie22, I can't see see anything disgusting in the link posted by MaizieD.

A London Assembly member was manhandled out of the arena, as he criticised her speech as she 'railed against the poison of gender ideology'.
When she quoted Shelley's 'Rise like Lions', so beloved of Jeremy Corbyn, I definitely had a 'I don't believe it ' moment.
Quite bizarre.

I didn't think her speech disgusting, I thought she had a valid point re celebrities.

^It's easy to criticise but you should have your own ideas to express.^

It is indeed very easy to criticise, Bella23 because these tories are telling outright lies. There isn't a grain of truth in any of them.

No doubt we will find out what Labour has to say when they have their conference next week. I'm sure they can do better than make up completely untrue scare stories.

I certainly hope so as well. I just don't want a phoney Tony Blair look what his lies led us into.
Harold Wilson kept us out of Vietnam, Atlee gave us the NHS which is now at breaking point. Roy Jenkins quoted as being the best Prime Minister that never was.
Where are the people like them now?

We need to know their ideas perhaps next week as you say we might hear them.

I feel sick when I see and hear them. They really are desperate. What will be the next thing they'll claim we should be 'concerned about"?

Can anyone tell me if any of the other parties if they come into power will be any better?
We know what the Labour Party says it won't do but not what it will do.

I don't have any faith in any of them the country is at crisis point.

You couldn’t make it up could you?
What a shower.
So desperate to hang on to power.

I don't believe it!

After Sunak's announcement postponing Net Zero last week, in which he asserted that he was forestalling imaginary initiatives such as compulsory car sharing, a meat tax, flight taxes, and 7 bins for recycling, I scrolled through twitter this morning to find that his ministers have seized these phantom initiatives wholeheartedly and even saying that Labour is definitely going to introduce them.

Firstly, our new Environment Secretary, Claire Coutinho, says in her speech that Starmer is going to introduce a meat tax. Though Sophie Ridge has her measure. See the clip

Then we have Andrew Bowie, a junior minister, on BBC PM asserting that highly restrictive '15 minute cities' are on LA's agendas, when it is untrue. 'You're spreading conspiracy theories, aren't you?', says Evan Davis..

twitter.com/BBCPM/status/1708900199177838859

Then we have Therese Coffey announcing that she is axing an EU rule banning bendy bananas shock There never was an EU rule banning bendy bananas. Boris Johnson made it up for a laugh when he was a bored Brussels Correspondent for a newspaper..

But, of course, Labour are sneakily going to keep this non existent EU rule...

Oh, and the racist tory candidate for London Mayor has claimed that Jews are terrified of Sadiq Khan (sorry, can't find a clip for that)

Thank heaven for some sane tweeters...

People banned from travelling more than 15 minutes. "Blanket" 20mph speed limits. Meat taxes. Fake gay refugees. Jews terrified of Sadiq Khan.

The Conservative party has simply become addicted to lying. It lacks the competence or integrity to make an honest appeal to voters.
