If we can’t even talk in general terms about MPs’ workload- which MPs of all parties agree is v casework- heavy and getting heavier- without a lot of responses being to assume that MPs are not telling the truth/just whinging/ working on the wrong things etc- then I think we’re in a bad place

"“For fuck’s sake” is my favourite sweary phrase. I can't do it on TV, but I love swearing. It’s so expressive. By the way - FFS also stands for Farage Foot Soldier, as I call them." - Carol Vorderman

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.

It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.
