Fear not. I'm sure he won't be caught saying something awful in the future or assualting some1 on camera or get entangled in something v grubby. I predict he'll be wonderful & completely upstanding. A pillar of moral rectitude.

My 1st reaction when I saw Anderson had been appointed actually was disbelieving laughter.

I'll be amazed if Anderson makes it to the end of the year without saying or doing something so stupid it results in his removal. We'll see, I guess...

Was that when Anderson was caught on mic ringing a mate, telling them to pretend they didn't know him? Then Anderson popped up to meet this random member of the public on camera & they pretended they were just meeting for the 1st time?

I have in the past been accused of not being optimistic enough. So I will take this opportunity to make a statement.

Lee Anderson is a very fitting representative for our government.

Looking him up I doubt will give me an insight into his ability as a chairperson (deputy at that).

Quote attributed to a Tory MP:

Lee Anderson is everything that is wrong with the Conservative brand presently. He seems to rejoice in deliberately provoking and making agressive simplistic statements that fail to recognise the complexities of the issues facing the country. If this is the new Tory party, many will be forgiven for deserting it.

Seems the right may not think a lot of Mr Anderson either...

Irrelevant who it is its still a fucking Tory despise them with all my being the carnage they have caused if sickening think of this as example.

Covid wise people were foisted into care homes etc from hospital without checking if they were covid free. End result over 20,000 deaths as a result. Not 1 tory mp stood up to challenge this, folk missed seeing loved ones before dying.

And by not challenging Boris over this and most other things makes them complicit in the deaths

Remember during V E weekend Boris etc praising the sacrifices elders did and rightly praised while they were left to rot.

Inaction is intself and action. If you look at fact a generation were sscrificed for political reasons this is form of genocide.

Only difference with this and say Saddam Hussain and tbe kurdish people in Iraq and what happened here is the method of death Iraq used chemical weapons. Tories used Covid thats the only difference.

Possibly.

Leaked quote attributed to Mr Anderson when talking about the government recently:

“It’s like the band on the Titanic. Playing the same tune and ignoring the obvious.”

So will Mr Anderson be leaving the gov soon then?

Seems the right may not think a lot of Mr Anderson either...

I take it this "Tory MP" will be deserting them then?

Possibly.

Leaked quote attributed to Mr Anderson when talking about the government recently:

“It’s like the band on the Titanic. Playing the same tune and ignoring the obvious.”

So will Mr Anderson be leaving the gov soon then?"

I doubt it. Looks like he's looking forward to the challenge.

Did he say he'll leave, or supporters will?

"Irrelevant who it is its still a fucking Tory despise them with all my being the carnage they have caused if sickening think of this as example.

Covid wise people were foisted into care homes etc from hospital without checking if they were covid free. End result over 20,000 deaths as a result. Not 1 tory mp stood up to challenge this, folk missed seeing loved ones before dying.

And by not challenging Boris over this and most other things makes them complicit in the deaths

Remember during V E weekend Boris etc praising the sacrifices elders did and rightly praised while they were left to rot.

Inaction is intself and action. If you look at fact a generation were sscrificed for political reasons this is form of genocide.

Only difference with this and say Saddam Hussain and tbe kurdish people in Iraq and what happened here is the method of death Iraq used chemical weapons. Tories used Covid thats the only difference.

I only read the first line "

Maybe you should have read it before whipping out the laughing emoji. Not a good look with that sort of content.

"You reckon they know they're sinking and have chosen Anderson to piss off Labour supporters in before they go?

Most people are laughing at him and the Tory party

I've just had a quick scroll of twitter, there's some people laughing but not that many

Just went to have a look. Roy Walker is trending lol

I hope he hasn’t died, anyway, is there anyone who thinks 30p Lee has the credentials and is the right man for the job (without mentioning winding up the woke and lefties)

No one has mentioned the woke or lefties. Why are you attempting to shut doen debate before it even starts again?

My prerogative, do you think he is the right man for the job,

Oh I do apologise, I didn’t realise you owned the forum

I have no idea if he's the right man. The only thing I know about him is his 30p meals and the subsequent foaming at the mouth

Do you have an opinion?

An opinion in what?

Do you ‘think’ Lee Anderson will be a good deputy chairman of the Tory Party

How can I make a decision when I don't know anything about him?

What a ridiculous question.

Look him up if you wanna know more about him. Or just wait until Anderson says something stupid or nasty. That might be quicker, to be fair.

Looking him up I doubt will give me an insight into his ability as a chairperson (deputy at that).

I get it, the left don't like him, it would appear the right do.

Why should he leave? His real job will be to say nasty/stupid shit to make people angry & divided. Until he says something nasty/stupid enough to get the boot. Until then, I'm sure his position is secure.

Your 1st response to a post about many deaths was: I only read the first line, followed by laughing emojis. So, no, you weren't clear. The rest came from that.

Anyway, all cleared up now.

Where did that person say they supported Labour? And what socialist policies did they espouse?

"You reckon they know they're sinking and have chosen Anderson to piss off Labour supporters in before they go?

Most people are laughing at him and the Tory party

I've just had a quick scroll of twitter, there's some people laughing but not that many

Just went to have a look. Roy Walker is trending lol

I hope he hasn’t died, anyway, is there anyone who thinks 30p Lee has the credentials and is the right man for the job (without mentioning winding up the woke and lefties)

No one has mentioned the woke or lefties. Why are you attempting to shut doen debate before it even starts again?

My prerogative, do you think he is the right man for the job,

Oh I do apologise, I didn’t realise you owned the forum

I have no idea if he's the right man. The only thing I know about him is his 30p meals and the subsequent foaming at the mouth

Do you have an opinion?

An opinion in what?

Do you ‘think’ Lee Anderson will be a good deputy chairman of the Tory Party

How can I make a decision when I don't know anything about him?

What a ridiculous question.

Look him up if you wanna know more about him. Or just wait until Anderson says something stupid or nasty. That might be quicker, to be fair.

Looking him up I doubt will give me an insight into his ability as a chairperson (deputy at that).

I get it, the left don't like him, it would appear the right do.

Quote attributed to a Tory MP:

Lee Anderson is everything that is wrong with the Conservative brand presently. He seems to rejoice in deliberately provoking and making agressive simplistic statements that fail to recognise the complexities of the issues facing the country. If this is the new Tory party, many will be forgiven for deserting it.

Seems the right may not think a lot of Mr Anderson either...

I take it this "Tory MP" will be deserting them then?

Possibly.

Leaked quote attributed to Mr Anderson when talking about the government recently:

“It’s like the band on the Titanic. Playing the same tune and ignoring the obvious.”

So will Mr Anderson be leaving the gov soon then?

I doubt it. Looks like he's looking forward to the challenge.

Did he say he'll leave, or supporters will?

Why should he leave? His real job will be to say nasty/stupid shit to make people angry & divided. Until he says something nasty/stupid enough to get the boot. Until then, I'm sure his position is secure.

I didn't say he should

I never said you said that at all. Raise your eyebrow all you want.

Why did you ask me a stupid question?

And why are you trying to make out that I'm laughing at people dying?

Are you really that far out of your depth you have to resort to those tactics?

I don't remember asking a stupid question. I asked a rhetorical question.

And I think your laughter came across v badly in the circumstance. I explained that. You've since explained you weren't laughing at people dying. OK. So I'm not sure why you're still trying to pick a fight over this.

And you're welcome to think I'm out of my depth & try insulting me.

Trying to pick a fight

It was clear from my first post what I was laughing at. If you didn't get it, I understand.

Your 1st response to a post about many deaths was: I only read the first line, followed by laughing emojis. So, no, you weren't clear. The rest came from that.

Anyway, all cleared up now."

Can you tell me what the first line said?

I made a call upon reading that. I could've got it wrong but I didn't.

Noticed how you immediately picked I on deaths and not the nonsense he was spouting. Kinda says it all

Another Lee Anderson quote:

“I know the cycle of benefit dependency is not an easy one to break and that it’s not an easy problem to solve.

“But I want Labour to be the party that solves it – not the ghastly Conservative Party of Iain Duncan Smith or George Osborne.

“They don’t truly understand working people and they never will.”

He seems to have had quite the change of heart since then.

Anderson just had a car crash interview with Verity Crowley where she confronted him over the time he was caught on tape phoning a mate, telling them to pretend they didn't know him before a faked meet & greet.

Anderson got v irritable in this interview, ending by telling the interviewer not to play the interview & threatening never to give them anything again. It's worth a listen.

Just commenting on the news of a dreadful recent appointment to high office. Is that an issue for any reason?

Dreadful in your opinion. But hey, it's for the Tory Party to make that decision.

You've been talking to yourself, that's why it looks like you're obsessed by this.

I'm unashamedly one of the right leaning Labour types myself, you know the ones that got isolated, which allowed a tory 80 seat majority. So Lee is someone I can relate to, like many others who're of the same mindset I expect, and I will say he probably does believe in the greater good, over classical selfish conservativism, even if his moral compass I out...

I've always had centrist views generally but am probably (against what is traditionally expected) going more 'lefter' as I grow older. I think the same can be said for many, meaning the almost certain death of the tories.

I find his views on foreigners, travellers, people who aren't white, poor people and his views on the death penalty, to be disagreeable.

Listening to his radio interview he threw down the gauntlet and said, go find me a nurse or firefighter on 35K a year who is using food banks, he then went on to say I will give you a year to find them.

Is he right, is he wrong?

He has said in the past that the stories of nurses and firefighters earning 35k a year and using food banks is nonsense.

When he was pushed on this in an interview he basically challenged the reporter to find a nurse or firefighter on 35k a year that is using food banks, he is confident they wont find one.

I haven't listened to it but I'd imagine it's because the RCN and shouting about nurses having to use foodbanks. The average nurses salary is 35k and they argue if you can't live on 35k then you need to learn to budget.

I haven't listened to it but I'd imagine it's because the RCN and shouting about nurses having to use foodbanks. The average nurses salary is 35k and they argue if you can't live on 35k then you need to learn to budget."

that's a non sequitur then. Unless one is saying the average nurse is using a food bank.

"He is not afraid to open his mouth which will always upset someone.

Listening to his radio interview he threw down the gauntlet and said, go find me a nurse or firefighter on 35K a year who is using food banks, he then went on to say I will give you a year to find them.

Is he right, is he wrong?

Whatever the outcome I can see why some loathe him and others love him, he is polarising and confusing.

what point is he addressing by this tho ? Is this a direct position of somebody.

Or is he taking two statements

1) some nurses are using food banks and

2) the average pay is 35k

But you see, the headlines read

'NURSES USING FOODBANKS'

Here's a quote form Matthew Tovey, a nurse and spokesperson for the campaign group NHS Say No.

"Some people the food banks typically see are student nurses, nurses working part-time, nurses being the sole earner"

Although I'm slightly unclear how this is that different to me spending money on holiday or someone spending their pension in France. So I am comfortable that not all money earnt in the UK is spent in the UK. Provided it's taxed etc.

I'm not comfortable with some nurses requiring food banks. Something is going wrong there. It may be lack of basis fin ed at school or we underpay them.

I'm not happy with MPs making a strawman arguement to minimise and almost ridicule the issue.

That minimisation is more concerning than others over egging the issue. Because issues like this aren't symmetrical.

But you see, the headlines read

'NURSES USING FOODBANKS'

Here's a quote form Matthew Tovey, a nurse and spokesperson for the campaign group NHS Say No.

"Some people the food banks typically see are student nurses, nurses working part-time, nurses being the sole earner"

Nurses are using food banks , which is a disgrace

Did you bother to read the quote?

That's exactly the type of headline we're seeing without any context.

Nurses are using food banks , the headline didn’t say ‘, All nurses are using foodbanks’ wether they are students, single parents or working part time is irrelevant , it’s a disgrace

It's not irrelevant.

Providing headlines without context is exactly why the shitshow that is Brexit happened.

You're the first one to complain when it's 'the right' doing the very thing you're doing now.

‘Nurses are using food banks ‘, nurses are using food banks, disgraceful

Hypocrisy at its finest

Are ‘nurses using food banks’ ?

Are 'foreigners sending money out of the country'?they are.

Although I'm slightly unclear how this is that different to me spending money on holiday or someone spending their pension in France. So I am comfortable that not all money earnt in the UK is spent in the UK. Provided it's taxed etc.

I'm not comfortable with some nurses requiring food banks. Something is going wrong there. It may be lack of basis fin ed at school or we underpay them.

I'm not happy with MPs making a strawman arguement to minimise and almost ridicule the issue.

That minimisation is more concerning than others over egging the issue. Because issues like this aren't symmetrical.

You've added context to the headline. That's all I've been saying, headlines without context are ridiculous but tbh I'm not sure why I'm surprised from the poster.

Headlines without context aren't good for anyone, they just polarise.

which is exactley what they are meant to do hence daily mail express etc running large polarising headlines which when you read the story beneath bear little or no resemblance to the headline but its the headline most remember "

As I said, hypocrisy at its finest from that particular poster.

I shouldn't expect any less really

Half of NHS trusts providing or planning food banks for staff

But again, for headlines provided all the information. No, that's not their purpose even before you get to any commercial angles.

But I'd not come away from that article and think the average nurse is using food banks.

IMO in the scheme of trying to mislead, Anderson is clearly winning.

I can't recall the whole thread, but have you commented on whether his statement was misleading, and compared the degrees and impact of any being misleading ? Can you remind me of your postion?

That was just one article I grabbed tbh, there's plenty more where it also doesn't give a full picture.

Maybe you didn't read my follow up on what the headlines should be. He didn't create the headlines, the headlines were created and he's responding.

Who is he misleading by asking the question he asked?

"He is not afraid to open his mouth which will always upset someone.

Listening to his radio interview he threw down the gauntlet and said, go find me a nurse or firefighter on 35K a year who is using food banks, he then went on to say I will give you a year to find them.

Is he right, is he wrong?

Whatever the outcome I can see why some loathe him and others love him, he is polarising and confusing.

what point is he addressing by this tho ? Is this a direct position of somebody.

Or is he taking two statements

1) some nurses are using food banks and

2) the average pay is 35k

To imply

There are nurses on 35k on food banks

I haven't listened to it but I'd imagine it's because the RCN and shouting about nurses having to use foodbanks. The average nurses salary is 35k and they argue if you can't live on 35k then you need to learn to budget.that's a non sequitur then. Unless one is saying the average nurse is using a food bank.

But you see, the headlines read

'NURSES USING FOODBANKS'

Here's a quote form Matthew Tovey, a nurse and spokesperson for the campaign group NHS Say No.

"Some people the food banks typically see are student nurses, nurses working part-time, nurses being the sole earner"

Nurses are using food banks , which is a disgrace

Did you bother to read the quote?

That's exactly the type of headline we're seeing without any context.

Nurses are using food banks , the headline didn’t say ‘, All nurses are using foodbanks’ wether they are students, single parents or working part time is irrelevant , it’s a disgrace

It's not irrelevant.

Providing headlines without context is exactly why the shitshow that is Brexit happened.

You're the first one to complain when it's 'the right' doing the very thing you're doing now.

‘Nurses are using food banks ‘, nurses are using food banks, disgraceful

Hypocrisy at its finest

Are ‘nurses using food banks’ ?

Are 'foreigners sending money out of the country'?they are.

Although I'm slightly unclear how this is that different to me spending money on holiday or someone spending their pension in France. So I am comfortable that not all money earnt in the UK is spent in the UK. Provided it's taxed etc.

I'm not comfortable with some nurses requiring food banks. Something is going wrong there. It may be lack of basis fin ed at school or we underpay them.

I'm not happy with MPs making a strawman arguement to minimise and almost ridicule the issue.

That minimisation is more concerning than others over egging the issue. Because issues like this aren't symmetrical.

You've added context to the headline. That's all I've been saying, headlines without context are ridiculous but tbh I'm not sure why I'm surprised from the poster.

Headlines without context aren't good for anyone, they just polarise.

which is exactley what they are meant to do hence daily mail express etc running large polarising headlines which when you read the story beneath bear little or no resemblance to the headline but its the headline most remember

This is exactly what people like Anderson are doing when they say things like "go find me a nurse or firefighter on 35K a year who is using food banks".

It's designed to remove context and shift the conversation away from the real topic which is nurses and firefighters on below this average being forced to use food banks.

Is it?

Isn't he actually responding to headlines rather than creating them?

There is no context in the original headline, which is 'nurses are being forced to use foodbanks'.

Read the following and tell me which nurses are using foodbanks:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/08/nhs-trusts-hospitals-food-banks-for-staff-nurses

I'm going to say that it's a the thousands of NHS staff (including nurses) who cannot afford basic loving costs.

But let's also note the headlines is

Half of NHS trusts providing or planning food banks for staff

Which provides a lot of information as demanded. It's not just

NHS trusts providing or planning food banks for staff

But again, for headlines provided all the information. No, that's not their purpose even before you get to any commercial angles.

But I'd not come away from that article and think the average nurse is using food banks.

IMO in the scheme of trying to mislead, Anderson is clearly winning.

maybe we should reframe it. If noone can find a nurses on 35k who is using food banks then what does that show ....

I don't disagree with that being the wider context.

However 1) specifics help bring the generic to light. We may expect some V low earners to require help. But how bad has the world got of some nurses need help.

2) it's being used to help understand the need for an inflationary payrise.

3) which is in the government gift. Hence Anderson steaming on with distraction techniques.

Arguably the headlines are being created because of HMG approach to NHS staff pay.

As before, I agree newspapers, unions and MPs have agendas. Could some articles be clearer. Yes.

Is Anderson muddying the waters by his question. Yes.

Which approach will help the wider issue of students, part timers and sole earners needing food banks?

If that is your concern, Anderson is seeking to minimise your cause by throwing out strawmen.

If your concern is simply having the whole picture presented from a purist pov, Anderson hasnt added to highlighting the whole truth. He's added shade. He didn't create the headline. But also he's not doughty to address it and correct it either. He's used the ambiguity too create an odd straw man. I wonder what his motivation is.

In the context of this thread, for me, it doesn't matter what his motivation is.

My issue here is that certain people are more than happy to jump on him but will refuse to accept that headlines play both ways.

If we're calling out one, we should be calling out the other, but nope, apparently, because it's nurses, it's OK.

Are 'foreigners sending money out of the country'?they are.

Although I'm slightly unclear how this is that different to me spending money on holiday or someone spending their pension in France. So I am comfortable that not all money earnt in the UK is spent in the UK. Provided it's taxed etc.

I'm not comfortable with some nurses requiring food banks. Something is going wrong there. It may be lack of basis fin ed at school or we underpay them.

I'm not happy with MPs making a strawman arguement to minimise and almost ridicule the issue.

That minimisation is more concerning than others over egging the issue. Because issues like this aren't symmetrical.

You've added context to the headline. That's all I've been saying, headlines without context are ridiculous but tbh I'm not sure why I'm surprised from the poster.

Headlines without context aren't good for anyone, they just polarise.

which is exactley what they are meant to do hence daily mail express etc running large polarising headlines which when you read the story beneath bear little or no resemblance to the headline but its the headline most remember

This is exactly what people like Anderson are doing when they say things like "go find me a nurse or firefighter on 35K a year who is using food banks".

It's designed to remove context and shift the conversation away from the real topic which is nurses and firefighters on below this average being forced to use food banks.

Is it?

Isn't he actually responding to headlines rather than creating them?

There is no context in the original headline, which is 'nurses are being forced to use foodbanks'.

Read the following and tell me which nurses are using foodbanks:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/business/2023/jan/08/nhs-trusts-hospitals-food-banks-for-staff-nurses

I'm going to say that it's a the thousands of NHS staff (including nurses) who cannot afford basic loving costs.

But let's also note the headlines is

Half of NHS trusts providing or planning food banks for staff

Which provides a lot of information as demanded. It's not just

NHS trusts providing or planning food banks for staff

But again, for headlines provided all the information. No, that's not their purpose even before you get to any commercial angles.

But I'd not come away from that article and think the average nurse is using food banks.

IMO in the scheme of trying to mislead, Anderson is clearly winning.

I can't recall the whole thread, but have you commented on whether his statement was misleading, and compared the degrees and impact of any being misleading ? Can you remind me of your postion?

That was just one article I grabbed tbh, there's plenty more where it also doesn't give a full picture.

Maybe you didn't read my follow up on what the headlines should be. He didn't create the headlines, the headlines were created and he's responding.

Who is he misleading by asking the question he asked?maybe we should reframe it. If noone can find a nurses on 35k who is using food banks then what does that show ....

We can reframe it all you like. That doesn't take away the fact that he didn't create the headlines in the first place.

As I said, the story is actually 'students, part timers, and sole earners are using foodbanks'I don't disagree with that being the wider context.

However 1) specifics help bring the generic to light. We may expect some V low earners to require help. But how bad has the world got of some nurses need help.

2) it's being used to help understand the need for an inflationary payrise.

3) which is in the government gift. Hence Anderson steaming on with distraction techniques.

Arguably the headlines are being created because of HMG approach to NHS staff pay.

As before, I agree newspapers, unions and MPs have agendas. Could some articles be clearer. Yes.

Is Anderson muddying the waters by his question. Yes.

Which approach will help the wider issue of students, part timers and sole earners needing food banks?

If that is your concern, Anderson is seeking to minimise your cause by throwing out strawmen.

If your concern is simply having the whole picture presented from a purist pov, Anderson hasnt added to highlighting the whole truth. He's added shade. He didn't create the headline. But also he's not doughty to address it and correct it either. He's used the ambiguity too create an odd straw man. I wonder what his motivation is.

In the context of this thread, for me, it doesn't matter what his motivation is.

My issue here is that certain people are more than happy to jump on him but will refuse to accept that headlines play both ways.

If we're calling out one, we should be calling out the other, but nope, apparently, because it's nurses, it's OK."

I understand your view. I agree reactions should be balanced ... But only if there is equal balance in the initial "action".

I suspect we have different views on whether Anderson creating a strawman is equal and opposite to a headline not trying to capture the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

So I agrew with your overall position. I just don't agree that it should be applied here in the way you do.

I haven't listened to it but I'd imagine it's because the RCN and shouting about nurses having to use foodbanks.

that's a different thread. I meant more which approach of the newspaper focusing on nurses verus Anderson stawmaning would have more benefit to the wider good. As I sensed part of your frustration was with ten focus on nurses rathwr than that many other people are also in financial hardship.

imo he doesn't have a leg go stand on today. Hence it being a stawman.

I do agree that the reporting has given him just enough space for him to twist the topic to his advantage.

But that shouldn't mean we should let him off from strawmaning. There's a hint of "victim blaming" here which is giving his position credence imo. Or at least, I worry, allowing him to get the ends I suspect he is after.

It's similar to him saying how he has someone in his staff who is paid less than 30k and goes on holiday. When she was single, noniids, and living at a property her dad owns.

Noone is saying everyone under 30k is struggling.

And even if you were super clear who you meant he pull out the 30p meal idea out.

I can't recall the whole thread, but have you commented on whether his statement was misleading, and compared the degrees and impact of any being misleading ? Can you remind me of your postion?

That was just one article I grabbed tbh, there's plenty more where it also doesn't give a full picture.

Maybe you didn't read my follow up on what the headlines should be. He didn't create the headlines, the headlines were created and he's responding.

Who is he misleading by asking the question he asked?maybe we should reframe it. If noone can find a nurses on 35k who is using food banks then what does that show ....

We can reframe it all you like. That doesn't take away the fact that he didn't create the headlines in the first place.

As I said, the story is actually 'students, part timers, and sole earners are using foodbanks'I don't disagree with that being the wider context.

However 1) specifics help bring the generic to light. We may expect some V low earners to require help. But how bad has the world got of some nurses need help.

2) it's being used to help understand the need for an inflationary payrise.

3) which is in the government gift. Hence Anderson steaming on with distraction techniques.

Arguably the headlines are being created because of HMG approach to NHS staff pay.

As before, I agree newspapers, unions and MPs have agendas. Could some articles be clearer. Yes.

Is Anderson muddying the waters by his question. Yes.

Which approach will help the wider issue of students, part timers and sole earners needing food banks?

If that is your concern, Anderson is seeking to minimise your cause by throwing out strawmen.

If your concern is simply having the whole picture presented from a purist pov, Anderson hasnt added to highlighting the whole truth. He's added shade. He didn't create the headline. But also he's not doughty to address it and correct it either. He's used the ambiguity too create an odd straw man. I wonder what his motivation is.

I missed your question in the middle of that.

Which approach will help. I'd genuinely like to explore UBI. I understand it'll be expensive, but health, including mental, stress etc is too important for anyonethat's a different thread. I meant more which approach of the newspaper focusing on nurses verus Anderson stawmaning would have more benefit to the wider good. As I sensed part of your frustration was with ten focus on nurses rathwr than that many other people are also in financial hardship.

I think part of the problem here is the initial reporting. If the press focused more on the overall picture then Anderson wouldn't have a leg to stand on. As it happens, they didn't, he is then questioned and gives his answer. Right or wrong, the focus is in the wrong place to begin withimo he doesn't have a leg go stand on today. Hence it being a stawman.

I do agree that the reporting has given him just enough space for him to twist the topic to his advantage.

But that shouldn't mean we should let him off from strawmaning. There's a hint of "victim blaming" here which is giving his position credence imo. Or at least, I worry, allowing him to get the ends I suspect he is after.

It's similar to him saying how he has someone in his staff who is paid less than 30k and goes on holiday. When she was single, noniids, and living at a property her dad owns.

Noone is saying everyone under 30k is struggling.

And even if you were super clear who you meant he pull out the 30p meal idea out. "

Most of that is about his character and what else he's said. I agree with most of it.

Maybe I just think the 'headline' should have some context added to it. Or maybe I just get frustrated when certain posters ask for context when it's 'the right' that are printing headlines and the sheer hypocrisy to completely ignore it when 'the left' does it.

West London

A Guardian article, so view it's "neutrality" as appropriate. Still, more than one MP believed that he had the support of his constituents when they were, perhaps, mistaken.

"The Tories’ new deputy chairman thinks he has the support of his constituency. But a tour around Kirkby-in-Ashfield says otherwise"
