...he's jumping up on stage in front of a crowd of half asleep and terminally deranged punters crying 'encore!!!'

Conservative Party Conference!

[Youngian]

This week, Matt’s stuck in the Bible Belt with Miriam Cates for a war on working woke mums. Dad, gran, uncle would also love to hang with the little ones instead of working a shit boring job just like mum. Life’s not all beer and skittles, Matt.

[MisterMuncher]

The current rumblings in the US right wing undercurrent are towards an end of "no fault" divorce, and I give it 12 months till that becomes a taking point amongst the stunningly brave Torygraph Commentariat. This is merely the first sneeze.

[Andy McDandy]

Miriam Cates. Somewhere, a WH Smith is missing a team leader.

[Watchman]

If they stay at home, how will they be earning to pay tax?

[Andy McDandy]

They all work as childminders for someone else's kids.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Why is Miriam Cates an MP instead of being a "stay at home mum"? She has 3 kids, I see. If that's too much of an ad hominem, can she produce a budget for this proposal? Heck, maybe she can produce a household budget for a working family in her constituency. Wouldn't this just be a freebie to the very well off who could afford to forgo one of them working?

Hopefully Cates is fucked at the next election, and will be free to fly out and join Douglas Carswell in Mississippi.

[Yug]

Well done Tubby for spotting the important part of the suggestion

Wouldn't this just be a freebie to the very well off who could afford to forgo one of them working?

This is, of course, the natural way of the Tory. Tax cuts for those who need them the least.

[Youngian]

England’s moral majority politics were as pathetically dismal as its sex comedies and they occupy the same space in the imagination. Miriam Cates is like Robin Asquith turning up with a chamois leather covering his cock. The fact that Matt and Miriam were followers of Boris Johnson only adds to the traditional ridiculousness of English moral majority attempts.

I might be misremembering but I think I can recall the Charles Moore right giving John Major a hard time on no fault divorces.

Can anyone confirm?

See also the US, where these people line up behind Donald Trump. Though at least Trump did appoint the sort of judges they wanted. What's Bozo done to earn their support?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Hey woke elite twats, where's my invitation, eh, eh?

[Tubby Isaacs]

I wish it had, Matt. More attention would have been paid to working conditions, the environment, regional development.

The slight problem is that the left were in power for far less of that time than the right. What's Kemi Badenoch in Switzerland for, right now? Is that globalisation?

"Urban graduates". Those bastards.

[Watchman]

We don’t need experts telling us what to think!……sorry, what’s that, Professor?

[Spoonman]

"Globalisation" in their worldview is a codeword/dog whistle for any interaction with foreigners that they don't like. Fantasy trade deals (where Britain has the upper hand and everyone else swoons over us) are good, most other stuff is bad. Some more sinister elements also associate it with (((DA JOOZ)))).

As for "the left" over the past 50 years, remind them again whom the longest serving PM of that era has been?

[Youngian]

If he’s against the internationalisation of politics, what will Matt do to combat ‘hyperglobalisation?’ Or even tell us what it is, too much foreign stuff on Netflix for all I know.

[RedSparrows]

Who the fuck buys the idea that 'the left' has been behind globalisation?

Where do these morons come from?!

Their simple inability to understand socialist thought, and their hyper-fixation on liberalism-as-identity-politics, should disqualify them from being taken seriously on anything.

[Tubby Isaacs]

"The left" is Tony Blair to these people, nobody else. They've never got over losing to him.

Apparently you have to "read the book" to find out.

Probably at least 2 pages of regurgitated Bennery in it.

[Tubby Isaacs]

tHEY onLY care about qUeers and bLAcks.

(The other he seemed to be making out that Robert Webb had a lot of status).
