So, the son of an elderly woman, in a Lancashire council funded care home, threatens to leave the party, if the Reform council continue with their plans to sell off five residential care homes, to save money. Oh, the irony!

With the today’s posts about the Labour Front Bench abstaining from the vote, I felt this was an apt time to repost this!
Today was all about Reform playing the games with the Tories. If the Tories supported Reform then the PR was they were Farage lap dogs and if they voted against him he said they were not serious about exiting ECHR. By Govt absenting themselves they avoided saving the Tories

I have never witnessed the utterly baboonish levels of jeering Reeves endures in the Commons - and this level of disrespect started on day one, so it is nothing to do with policies, credentials, or ability and everything to do with her being a woman.
