God almighty

I blame Scotland for holding on to the best politician at the moment Ruth Davidson!

Please Scotland can we have her here to sort out the mess

I just hear Gavin Williamson has been sacked!!! Was he the mole?

I hope it’s not just civil servants who get jailed for breaching the official
Secrets act!!!!!

Ruth Davidson? I WISH!

I hear she's being offered a safe seat in England ,so you might get your wish sooner than you think ...and you're very welcome to her .

Can anyone ever remember a worse opposition and government than we have today???

Can't say I do Mycatisahacker. They are a shower of self-serving incompetents imo. I am totally sick to the back teeth of the lot of them, apart from one or two who seem to have integrity.

However, I wonder if in past times we had dreadful MPs/parliament but weren't aware of it?

Let's face it - we get minute by minute updates now via social media of their moves, words, etc and interaction in any event - at home or worldwide. So much is recorded and filmed.

We weren't subjected to this tsunami of news years ago, and reports were just that, reports, not some reporter's interpretation of the news, and the significance of events, according to his or hers bias. Oh for a neutral and fair stance once again!

There are days when I cannot be bothered with the news or hearing any more about going-on in Westminster.

Yes come here Ruth Davidson we need you! A sensible woman.

I agree Day6

I think the media has persuaded MPs that they are somehow celebrities and personalities by themselves! Lammy, Soubery, Reece Mogg, bercow!! And not servants of the electorate with serious jobs.

I think they seem to think they are in a soap opera! Or a reality show

Thanks paddy you have to keep Nicola though there the deal

We will send you the mogg??

My 87 year old very labour dad agrees.

And he says he has none to vote for.

Is RD back from maternity leave yet no mentions in the media.
That aside what on earth do you think she is going to do for the Tory party

Maybe take over from Theresa?? In my dreams!

Mycat just heard about Williamson being sacked ( presumably for the security leak.) He is strongly denying it,
But would hardly have been sacked if there was no proof.
He wasn’t much liked apparently, within the Party.
Have to agree with you about this government and also the opposition, what a great choice we have for the next few years!!

Day6 yes, it’s entirely possible that past governments and oppositions were not much better, but we were either too busy bringing up our families or there wasn’t as much news about them, probably a mix of both.

I’m quite sure that if there had been a worse government, we would have been made aware of it.

It was in the news.

No matter which party governs the country, there are always naysayers and nit-pickers willing to unpick the fabric of society by causing unrest.
Wilson,Thatcher, Blair, Cameron to name a few who have been targets.

Wow Gabriella

Personally I would say those 4 agree with them or not and o didn’t they were at least leaders and stable. Again I think drink may me involved with you mate

However, I wonder if in past times we had dreadful MPs/parliament but weren't aware of it?

Yup. News used to be filtered. Now its not.

Yes if he was innocent he would be on every radio show and TV channel now fighting back Who wouldn’t. He isn’t so he’s guilty.

I also think celebrity plays a part though not just need filter.

They all want to be famous Lammy, Soubery bercow instead of serving

Gabriella

Sorry i think I owe you an apology!! Re read your post and I see you are not criticising those 4!

Please accept my apology and drink away

Yvette Cooper please and bring back her husband too!

Ed Balls, ye gods!
