The post-satire era continues on 11:45 - Aug 8 by bsw72 | Sensationalist headline designed to further drive division. Truth is not as catchy a headline “MP gives tenants 4 months notice that their lease won’t be renewed and raises rent ahead of new applications” At least that’s how I read the story.

I wonder if you’d read it that way were it a Tory MP. For clarity, I’m no Tory but it does amuse me how people overlook things when it’s ’their side’. How will we ever see wealth taxes and a fairer society when the party supposedly of the working class is actually just part of the land owning, asset rich class. Huge conflict of interest and shows how out of touch they are. If you want to get rich and build up a property portfolio, go off and do it. But don’t represent us working people paying record taxes for broken public services. Going into politics shouldn’t be about power and personal enrichment. We get the politicians we deserve by waving this stuff away because of the colour of their tie. |  | |  |

What the hell were they doing near Yarmouth????! |  |

Thanks for assuming my side, bit presumptuous of you. To be clear I don't align to a single party I’m afraid, have voted conservative, green, labour and Lib Dem in my lifetime, and try very hard to take emotion and political bias out of the media. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I'm not that bothered about it, I just thought it was a good example of what the OP was talking about. |  |

But whether Labour or Tory the headline is totally wrong and misleading. |  | |  |

They're doing all the right bits of the journey, but not necessarily in the right order. |  | |  |

he couldn't do anything else with it being a charity, even farage might have apologised for that one! given his wealth, the scale of the gaffe and the language used, i thought a grand was pretty paltry, kind of money he could rustle up from his sofa (or the back of his tv) |  |
