Johnnie Reynolds Labour MP praised Margaret Thatchers Government live on breakfast news this morning.

You’re joking Babs03! GBNEWS televised the whole 55 minutes of Rachel Reeves’ speech this morning and trust me, there was PLENTY of discussion afterwards on that subject alone!

Babs03 GMB is on ITV, nothing to do with GB News.

Wyllow3 I am rather confused regarding the third runway at Heathrow along with the expansion of Gatwick & Luton airports.

How does this policy fit in with the Green Agenda I was under the impression we were all meant to fly less?

Labour/Green Council wants to build hundreds of homes on land below sea level near here.
Combined with hundreds of other house building which is happening without the infrastructure to match the demands that brings, the result is an increasing nightmare.

The Green message is very confusing.

And I am by no means a fan so find it surprising that GMB presenters were so shocked. Perhaps is a light day for news.

Good Morning Britain.

Why do you find it shocking?

Allira we are fighting against building on a flood plain here, our local MP (Conservative) has been brilliant over the last 10+ years, not sure she will be able to stop it now.

Our local council have thrown out the plans numerous times, but we are ready for them to be overruled by Westminster.

Numbers at any cost it seems GG and Allira. Sod the consequences.

I agree

Sorry, I agree with Babs comments re MT

If Labour supporters support Labour policies (shock, horror) they are accused of following blindly. If they say they agreed with some of what opponents did (or do) they are criticised for that. It’s almost as though balance is expected to be one-way only, isn’t it?

Not at all.

If I support a government policy, regardless of the colour of their rosette, I will say so.

I just find it hilarious that Margaret Thatcher is often (especially here on GN) blamed for the beginning of the UK’s downfall, and all of a sudden up pops a Labour MP praising her 🤷‍♀️

I have a soft spot for MT as when she became PM it was the first time I was old enough to vote, and I was ecstatic that we had a female leader of the U.K.

I admired her tenacity, she didn’t suffer fools, and as she said you turn if you like, this lady is not for turning ( from memory, and probably not word for word exact)

Well there we are. I have absolutely no time for Thatcher, and whilst being 100% in favour of equal rights for women I would not feel ecstatic because a woman gets a job if IMO she is not the right person (which IMO she was not).

I'd rather someone 'turned' as stuck to guns that were pointing in the wrong direction, and I don't believe that tenacity is a good thing in and of itself. Of course I can understand that if someone believes they are right they will not change position, and that MT thought she was right.

I didn't hear what JR said about MT, but I probably don't agree with him if he was praising her. That doesn't mean that I am 'gobsmacked' at the fact that people can share beliefs about some things and not others, though. I do that all the time.

I don't care if the cat is Tory black or Labour white so long as it catches mice. The government has displayed lack of interest in the cost of living for ordinary folk. Talking up growth and resurrecting previous grand schemes does not help us now.

If only Keir Starmer could be another Margaret Thatcher. If only….
