chrisp65 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 28,000 North East Somerset voters can’t be wrong. He gets over half the vote, so he can’t even be ousted by some tactical voting. All those people that commute in to Bath from Nempnett Thrubwell, Hinton Chartehouse, Peasedown St John, and Compton Dando clearly think he’s great. He is being voted for by the supporting cast of a Jane Austen novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Why does JRM do it? He’s insanely rich, and well over 200 years old. Does he really enjoy inflicting suffering on people so does it as a hobby? Edited April 23, 2022 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he really enjoy inflicting suffering on people so does it as a hobby? Ego trip. Clearly has some underlying issues and needs the role to feel validation. Typical bully. I'd say the same about Patel, Sunak and Johnson to varying degrees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine is chair of a local charity, and she wrote to both the MPs for the area that the charity operates in. Rees-Mogg's people immediately set up a Zoom meeting with her, at which he was charming, helpful, well-informed about the charity, what it did and what it needed. Wera Hobhouse (Lib Dem) didn't reply to the letter. He's still obviously a massive bell-end, but y'know. Balance and all that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is actually leaving these on desks, rather than just tweeting about it for effect, then he's just creating litter for cleaners to deal with at the end of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my dad has had several positive stories about Gavin Williamson over the years. However, it doesn't matter. It's great that they do their job and help out local society groups, but they also set policy for the country, and he's **** terrible at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s loads of MPs who are basically fine and hard working as constituency mps, but whose batshit crazy ideas and or character flaws on some topics render them wholly unsuitable for cabinet roles. JRM is one. I’ll spare you my thoughts on others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The journalist who wrote that story and the editor of the paper are just as culpable for putting that in the paper as the scumbag MP who said it “off the record”. They should have published the MPs name so we all know who he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
