Failed Tory Justice Secretary Gives Advice To New Labour Government?

Robert Buckland was once a Tory MP and a Justice Secretary but while both of those are been failures, it didn't stop Sky News from inviting him on to give advice to the new Labour government on prison overcrowding.

The last thing Labour should do is listen to the tories' suggestions! Labour wants to make things better, not worse!

[@mdt105]

No no, Labour absolutely should listen to them. They should listen to them extremely closely. Then they should make sure to, under no circumstances, ever do what the Tory suggestions are.

[@DerekHarrison-ue9vv]

Absolutely.Listen to what they have to say,then completely ignore what they have to say!😸

[@MetalRocksMe.]

Whatever they say, do the opposite.

[@mandycouchbean]

The fact he's an ex MP should make anything he says invalid!!

[@7ookee]

It does make everything he sys invalid. The oligarchs that let him on the media are just butt hurt. His opinion has been judged and discarded...NEXT!!!

[@billpugh58]

He is no longer relevant, he represents no one but himeself.

[@Demun1649]

Will this be a regular event, bringing on ordinary members of the public, and getting their advice on what the national government should do? If so, I volunteer myself to be one of those interviewed. I have a lot of outside the box solutions to many major problems. Most will be about chasing and arresting the tax avoiders and dodgers. Jailing the grifters, such as Mone, and seizing their properties in reparation. Getting Shoesnake to detail all the deprived areas he took levelling up money from, to give to well-off Tory centres, and then force him to replace the stolen monies from his own personal fortunes.

[@Cheeeesseee3678]

I suspect defeated Tory ex-MPs are showing up on news channels because the channels are required to provide balance to their reporting. The Tories took such a fucking delicious hammering that Sky News etc have found it necessary to use them as there simply isn't enough sitting Tory MPs for them to always be able to pull together guests, often with haste, who have even a vague link - geographically/experienced/gov or non gov held roles/personal capacities& characteristics/schedules- whatever, to the story that is been covered that they have to grab ex-MPs for their coverage. The number of options in the fish pond has simply shrunk. Same goes for journalists and their curated networks of contacts, the number who are sitting MPs has shrunk dramatically. 100% agree it would be much better if they were no where near any coverage tho as we have already got rid of the shits once. Let's not forget that also means they're unemployed, have plenty availability and are more than keen for that appearance fee!😅 Hopefully the desperate pricks are aggressively undercutting each other driving the fees down💷🪓

[@MetalRocksMe.]

Balance is inviting someone from the opposition not some bloke who hold no relevance or purpose to the British public.

[@Cheeeesseee3678]

@@MetalRocksMe. Not in the eyes of OFCOM the balance is the viewpoints presented, not who delivers them

It's not something new, but you had 14 years to fix it ffs. Let the grown ups get on with running the country now.

Every time a Tory minister was questioned about crimes it was ‘tougher sentencing’. Well now you have the consequences

[@OO-Enterprises]

It's just like Kwarteng being invited on all these media outlets. Guy nearly crashed the economy on the first day on the job, just so he could save the rich thousands of pounds more on their taxes, and he has the audacity to be giving advice to anyone? WTH?!

[@starmersbarber]

Who is next to be invited into the ridiculous Sky Studios? Liz Truss? Boris Bloody Johnson? David Cameron? Chris Grayling? Attila the Hun?

[@starmersbarber]

Because Kwarteng sat beside the deranged Dorries in the ch4 election night coverage, I naively initially thought he was doing okay on the night. Then he appeared on ITV later on...right at the exact moment Truss lost her seat. His reaction was total robot...no lights on in his eyes. He then claimed he remembered the exact details of the 1983 general election night in comparison....yet it was two weeks after his 8th bloody birthday...and he wasn't even challenged by Ed Balls or Suzanna Reid! A total charlatan.

[@steveholmes381]

Didn’t the Tories put convicted prisoners in Police cells back in 2022 or 2023 ?

[@rodmuirhead587]

Absolutely we have listened to these fools for too long.

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

You did nothing, said nothing. So, damned by your own silence, which rather undermines his "advice" to Labour.

[@lynnlovattjones4171]

Still lying....and it now has nothing to do with him!! He failed... miserably!

[@Thehorsesmouth2]

What don't they get about not being in power anymore??????

[@starmersbarber]

Also, what do the Sky team not get about that as well? I find the level of Sky journalism so brazenly commercial. Now and again, someone from Sky might actually show some plums...Jon Craig with Dick Holding, Sam Coates sometimes, Matt Barbet holding Gillian Keegan to the fire. But it's not nearly often enough...and all too often, folk like Sophie Ridge, Trevor Phillips and Beth Rigby leave me frustrated with their lack of engagement that thinking people can actually latch on to. I don't think LBC are much better. Sangita Myska paid the price for daring to properly challenge people...and sadly James O'Brien (whose heart is in the right place) refuses to call out his colleague Nick Ferrari in such a 'working for the man' defensive way.

[@TheSandman.]

Can't the Tories just go away already....... How these failed politicians get invited on these shows still is beyond me

[@bindon4]

The arrogance of these Tories who think that they are born to rule and therefore everyone else should listen to their wise counsel. Go away Buckland you unelected tool. You ruined it, now let some adults try and fix your mess.

[@Oscar-rq8zr]

As Glenn Cullen the Thick of It described them: “six toed; born to rule; pony f*****s”.

[@eddys.3524]

The media ought to neglect Tories... especially when they have failed in government.

[@saabsonsan]

I saw him in a different interview stating that the labour government can’t blame all the problems on the last Tory government, but accept some responsibility themselves

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

Oh I love this because A) That's all the Tories have been doing for 14 years whilst in power B) We're in week 2. It's literally impossible for the countries problems to not be the fault of the previous 14 year government. Any changes made by Labour will start having tangable effects in year 3 not week 3. Countries are like big ships, it takes a small rudder a long time to make course corrections

[@davidbentley4731]

We should do all the things I didn’t do when I was in charge

[@sandrafrancis3631]

Well said! 👍 the Tories messed up in office, but now they know how to fix everything!😅 i agree too many Tories are being interviewed on news channels after they've lost their seats being asked for their opinions, why! FFS we've had 14 years of these clowns! We don't want to hear what they have to say anymore, having been forced to listen to their rubbish for 14 years!? Just go away! 😫🙏

[@stephanguitar9778]

The tory client medias job now, is to make the tories look like nice, caring, fluffy teddy bears for the next 5 years.

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

If I was Labour with a massive majority I'd be on this right now. You need to swing the media to your side or at least make them unable to pretty up your opponents before you end up losing the next election. It doesn't matter what you did or say, it matters how people perceive what you did and said

[@jazmo6662]

So if he knew what he was supposed to do, why didn't he do it? He had 14 years to fix the problem. Labour have only been in charge for a week! Classic MSM media giving people, who should be thinking about why they lost their seat, a platform to spout their nonsense. MSM should be interviewing those that won their seats from the Tories that lost them.

[@fozzy20]

Well it could be useful for Labour. Just take whatever the Tory says on any issue and do the exact opposite to get the correct answer.

[@jonmatthews721]

So if Buckland has the "answers" why did they use their 14 years in power to let them get overcrowded?

[@garyarnold3141]

Old habits die hard, the client media can't stop interviewing Tories. Labour needs to shake up Sky, the BBC, ITV, the Tory papers and the opaque think tanks in Tufton Street.

I get the feeling that Labour are very busy, and this is what we're going to get from the people missing all the trappings of power. When the media don't have anyone to interview from the government. Give it time.

[@ruaridhfraser-douglas6994]

Blaming Labour as usual instead of fixing the problem during 14 years of power. Pathetic!!.

[@jonhenson1991]

They should be interviewing the previous health secretary (Victoria Atkins), the previous justice secretary (Alex Chalk), the previous environment secretary (Steve Barklay), and the previous education secretary (Gillian Keegan), and have them explain 'Why these areas are so BROKEN???'.

[@Squarer67]

Both Sky, and Buckland seem to have forgotten that our new Prime Minister was made a KCB for his service to his country as Director of Public Prosecutions. We really don't need their help.

[@ohyeah2816]

I don't think they need a failed politicians advice. Support Labour 👍🏼✌🏼❤️😀

Absolutely ludicrous to listen to his blather and nothing but "whataboutisms". Beyond satire and parody with them. Sky, shame on you.

[@dwdei8815]

You're absolutely right about what a pathetic mis-service it is for the media to lap up with these rejected nobodies rather than ask the questions of those who are actually in power - or are at least up to discussing the subject. If you must interview a tory failure the subject should be their failure and why they were so poor at the job.

[@allegory6393]

They are also interviewing Blatcherites who lost their seats to independents (and they are even nastier and more bitter against these independents, who run without any donor money and just local volunteers). They love promoting the status quo’s megaphones, whether blue or red rosette.

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

So I just googled Labour banning puberty blockers (brilliant tool everyone should use it) and apparently that was the last thing the Conservative minister did before leaving government in May

[@BeepBoop2221]

@Jonnyonthespot123 The last thing the Conservative party did was introduce a temporary ban into the high court. "Wes Streeting's position is that, subject to the outcome of the court proceedings and consultation, he will renew it and convert it into a permanent ban." Hes going to convert what was a temporary ban into a permanent one. I'm hoping a judicial review will stop him, he needs to be removed from his position as health secretary.

[@Jonnyonthespot123]

​@@BeepBoop2221 Then why isn't that on any of the news headlines and why doesn't it come up when you specifically go looking for it? Pretty big news if true. What's your source?

[@BeepBoop2221]

@Jonnyonthespot123 this is what he said to the Judge hearing the challenge to the ban brought by TransActualUK. because it has been done quietly and is dependent on judicial review. Wes was talking about implementing the cass review even before he was appointed, its pretty obviousl he's ideologically motivated against trans healthcare.
