One chap insisted he had seen asylum seekers and refugees landing in this country and then going straight to the benefits office, what a lying bellend!
Anyone who thinks getting money out of the benefit service is easy, is living in cloud cuckoo land. I've had arguments with many such people. Comfortably off, middle class, nice private pension, and a monumental sense of their own superiority. Can't afford Heinz beans? Eat Tesco beans. Simples. They make me sick.
Backlash as 'out-of-touch' Rishi Sunak tells struggling families UK must 'hold our nerve'
The Prime Minister claimed there was 'no alternative' but to hike interest rates in order to tackle inflation, but he was branded 'out-of-touch' and 'not up to the job' after an awkward TV interview

They've been paying huge amounts to cover our energy bills and now people want their mortgages paid and all.
People definitely don't want taxes to go up so I assume they want the cash printed.
Having said all that. Maybe not spending 2.2 billion per year in Ukraine would be beneficial.
That's the price to be paid between having a long term democracy and freedom, or not.
Russia won't stop at Ukraine if we turn our backs on them.
They truly believe that the Baltic states and Poland historically belong to them and will certainly be next.
It is a little bit unfair to her to be honest (not that I am in any way a supporter of Truss) in the way you do say things that are relevant to the circumstances when you said them.
Clearly her comments about autocratic states with no human rights, were said at the time of Russia's invasion of the Ukraine.
If we stopped whatever energy supplies we had with Russia at the time, then clearly we had to go cap in hand to some country who could replace it for us - unfortunately apart from the US, they are all probably autocratic states with poor human rights themselves.
She should simply have been honest and say something like it was urgent that the UK had secured energy supplies and although we don't approve of Saudi's human rights record we had no alternative but to trade with them and hopefully influence them to improve their human rights performance in the future.
Instead she lied and made to look the moron she is.
Fwiw right wing Liberians, which Truss most definitely is, expound the ideology of disbanding the state (or at least curtailing state involvement) which directly leads to autocratic leadership and a clamp down on workers rights (human rights).
Good riddance to her Boris, Deloris, Rabb, Rees-Mogg, and the rest of the loonies we've had to endure since Brexit.
Bryant is an arrogant, self serving numpty who likes to use the cloak of parliamentary privilege to cast aspersions and make accusations against others. Regarding Truss, is he saying that Labour would end all trade with countries like Saudi Arabia who don’t have the same human rights beliefs and laws as we do because if he is the we’re going to lose a lot of trade? I actually think Truss handled it well and without breaching any trust which may exist with the Saudis. The guys an idiot and sadly reflective of most of his parliamentary colleagues on all sides of the house. Sits on committees because it makes him feel important when in reality he’s a nothing politician.

No he doesn't say that at all!!!
Talk about jumping to ridiculous conclusions based solely on your political bias and prejudices'...
He is an appointed Chairman of two NON POLITICAL parliamentary committees - The Committee on Standards and the Committee of Privileges - both comprised of MP's from other parties and both of which have a Conservative majority.
Parliamentary Committees are set up this way to be specifically NON POLITICAL in order that their findings are seem to be fair and honest and NOT politically motivated.
If you viewed the clip again, Bryant mentions absolutely nothing at all as to what Labour may or may not do - you've simply projected your own prejudicial views and applied them on to something he never said!!!
Here is a two minute simplified video from the official UK Parliament explaining what select committees are who are on them and why.
If you wanted the grown up version of the same, then here it is - it's 16 minutes long and if I'm honest I don't believe you or anyone else on here have the slightest interest at all to want to learn how government actually works and rather live in your own world of total ignorance and political prejudice.
And as for this...

Sluffy, I’m perfectly aware of what committees do and I didn’t suggest he had mentioned what Labour would do just that he was hammering Truss for negotiating deals with Saudi Arabia despite their poor human rights record and obvious murder of Khashogi. He may very well find his own trade and business Secretary colleagues having to tread the same path before long so would he be asking them the same questions in the same off hand fashion?
