[bitontheslide]

if that approach were to apply, it would need to be offset by all the opposition mp's that are standing down. Which is fundamentally stupid

This is a concern.
MPs shouldn't have to face threats to their lives, or of injury.
Parties shouldn't have to be worried about the safety of their constituency offices.

The Country along with the world is going bonkers
But in a sinister way.

It doesn't help that leaders of Parties disrespect each other and throw childish insults back and forth to each other.
When leaders attack other leaders and indeed other Parties MPs.
They are attacking the supporters/voters of those Parties too.

Even I have to admit there's not a great deal of difference of policy between the Parties at present.
The only difference being, if Labour was in power, more sensitivity, understanding, fairness and compassion would be more evident in the policies.

The Prime Minister spends more time talking about Labour at PMQs rather than answering questions as to what his government has done and is doing.
The opposition Parties are NOT there to support the government.
Then this weak Speaker does nothing to change the tone and content of PMQs.
He's terrible really.

So divisive politics gets worse.
Then MPs get threatened and need tight security.

It comes from the top of politics and it's time it was dealt with properly.
With leaders who act like leaders and grown adults rather than playing at presenting a pathetic pantomime week after week.

Shameful. No one should be in fear for doing a job.

Wonder how many MPs will depart the Conservatives and stand for Reform? Lots, I hope. If Labour get in this country is finished. Tories couldn't stop the boats, Labour will encourage them.

Theresa May is a surprise.
Then again while her time as PM was difficult, to be generous to her there.

It must be infuriating sitting on the backbenches, listening to and watching the 3 wastes of space that followed her.
Then being part of the shambolic farce of governing which has become the trademark of this Sunak government particularly.

[bitontheslide]

Theresa May is standing down to concentrate her efforts in fighting modern slavery, so she gets my good wishes
