Home Secretary Insults Constituency In Response To Question About Poverty!

Home Secretary James Cleverly wasn't very cleverly when he attempted to respond to a question put to the Prime Minister about poverty. Alex Cunningham a Labour MP from Stockton North asked Rishi Sunak why 34% of children in his constituency were living in poverty. James Cleverly chimed in.

it's astounding isn't it? Why isn't there anything we can do, why is all the intense corruption and lying just accepted?

[@DerekHarrison-ue9vv]

Because people keep voting for them,that’s why.People knew that Boris Johnson was unfit to be Prime Minister,but because of the hate towards Jeremy Corbyn,especially from the right wing media and Brexit,he was able to get voters from REDWALL areas in the North and get an 80 seat majority.It was like turkeys 🦃 voting for Christmas.Communities that would NEVER have voted for the Conservatives, especially after the Thatcher years, bought into the lies.And what Cleverly shouted out in Parliament is what so many Tories think and say amongst themselves in Conservative clubs and bars.So many of us knew what this lot were like, but too many also fell for the lies in 2019.

[@philipwilliams5808]

@Spectrum4e4 Firstly there is something you can do, put every effort you can into winning the next and subsequent elections to consign them to the political bin and secondly, calling somewhere a shithole is in no way acceptable, but it's hardly corrupt. Of course the fact that he lied about it is worse but it's no surprise and should be jumped on by the Speaker. However to call a minister a liar is like calling a cow bovine, it's just part of their DNA. I don't recall the last Labour government being honest with us either, think of Iraq for example, but at least they were more often trying to do the right thing rather than blatantly just screwing us over to line their pockets.

OBR 22 Nov 2023 "Living standards are still heading for the worst fall in at least seven decades, since records began in the 1950s." Remember when Brexiters said "Brexit will be a titanic success!"? *Nigel* 21 June 2016: "We must leave the EU so that living standards rather than declining can start going up." *Boris* July 2019: "Brexit will make UK the greatest place on earth."

It's not an apology that's needed, it's needs to be his sacking and thrown out of the House, no longer being an MP

[@erbil2011]

OMG - everyone heard it. He should be immediately denied access to parliament and struck off. How can this be accepted. Ad Angela Rayner said- 'scum', the whole pile of them.

[@silversurfer640]

gerryh8367 The Tories are lower then vermin. Never forget this, because it will never change.

[@rowancrew2934]

Please don’t insult vermin they’re just vile lowlife,the Tories are much worse than that.

[@mandycouchbean]

Well Reported Thank you Max!

[@MrSCOTTtheSCOT]

For a home secretary to utter such words, should be straight out of his position for pure contempt.

[@kenmay1572]

It was a marginal Labour seat at the last GE but the Home Sec in 4 words just made it a safe Labour seat

[@colettekane6276]

Don't hold your breath waiting for an apology he'll totally deny it. He's saying what the whole tory party thinks

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

There are numerous places in the UK that describing them as a "Shit hole" would be compliment.

[@williampatrickfagan7590]

Words fail me. It shows the people what Tory politicians think of the working classes. A more vile and ignorant man I have never come across.

[@rickykilby4672]

The mask slips again.I wish people would wake up and be aware of the total and utter contempt for the poor that the tories have.That remark is utterly disgusting,but sadly exemplifies the whole tory attitude.Great video,keep up the good work,exposing these heartless villains for what they are.

[@evansmusic48]

No change in the Tory mindset it seems! Remember when multi-millionaire Tory minister George Young commented on ‘The homeless? Aren’t they the people you step over when you came out of the opera?’ Going way back to 1979 I personally overheard our newly elected Tory MP referring to the 'locals' as 'peasants'!!! I kid you not!!! I am very biased.....I detest Tory politicians for a multitude of reasons.

[@ciaranhughes1199]

The behaviour in Commons is a direct result of the public school system all these twats go through. In any other environment in life if you behaved like that you would be ejected or battered. It's disgusting

[@kerryburns6041]

If he'd said that about London it would have been nearer the truth, and it is people like him blocking the sewers.

[@jonhill7858]

James Cleverly demonstrating why the high court declared yesterday that it's entirely reasonable to address them as tory scum.

[@robertharris8381]

Nye Bevin was spot on when he called the Tories "Lower than vermin"

[@johnhunter8668]

Disgusting, not only what he said but know he’s lying

[@GG-ml3vr]

Sad thing is he is right,unfortunetly its his party that turned these once good communitys into,,well you heard him🤬

[@andrewcremer8892]

If he doesnt apologize he should be fired

[@jiversteve]

Spot on again Max, keep it up

[@tancreddehauteville764]

I would respond to Cleverly that his ancestors were living in sh*tholes until they were able to come to Britain.

[@dwdei8815]

Bet you the loyal tory band of biased speakers would have heard it perfectly well if it had not been a cabinet minister.

[@dschoene57]

Hoyle is as useless as a one-legged bloke in an arse-kicking contest.

[@jerrytracey6602]

FYO, Lindsay Hoyle was a member of the Labour Party before he became Speaker, so I don't think that's fair. They've a hard job to do, and even on the microphones it's hard to hear...

[@jamesarnold7253]

Hoyle has been in the Labour party as a councillor then MP since 1980?

[@Tay12345]

Hoyle was a Labour MP..

[@misterraven5159]

@@jerrytracey6602he was/is. He just sits on GB news answering questions to tories

[@meilong2338]

He should be sacked straight away. It’s absolutely unacceptable that a Home Secretary should talk in that manner about a poor region of the U.K.. I’m shocked actually

[@juliewake4585]

Who are these people that we elect to look after us? My god.

[@oralogarro9932]

And people keep voting for them.

[@jmshrrsn]

This is the issue. And the reason they keep voting Tory is because they absorb what they’re told by the Tory dominated media. Including the BBC.

[@patriciahiggins9188]

Dumb Britain

[@michaellawrence7570]

Great analysis Max, miniature rishi will defend him.As always pathetic tories.The deputy speaker has no guts like the main speaker.Thats the language I, expect from the corrupt tories

[@christinesmith461]

Torries create poverty and punish vulnerable people causing stress and sometimes Death!!!

[@maryfenton958]

Absolutely disgusting behaviour by Cleverly… this Government gets worse as time goes on. Snake Sinai should step in and clean up his useless cabinet.

[@alantheinquirer7658]

Not only does it show the low regard for constituents and the poor - it shows the level of character of Home Secretary since Johnson was appointed.

[@MrOliver1444]

The deputy speaker is the same disgrace!

[@Tagomac]

First Cleverly denied he'd made the remark. Now he's saying he did but it was aimed at the MP, so that makes it alright then!

[@valerieparkins8476]

I never thought i would hear a British home secretary ie Cleverly saying that in parliament he is an absolute disgrace ! Can as many people as possible keep talking about this so called human being and also send as many messages as possible to keep us all talking about this despicable language Cleverly used ! ! This man is another huge flag to show how far the once wonderful tory party has degenerated and reduced itself into the lowest of the low in British politics ! Well done all concerned .
