15 November - Labour MP exposes Tory MPs’ lies

During a prolonged quiet period for Bexley Council news I have resisted the temptation to write any inconsequential filler blogs because I feared getting carried away with my views on our failed Conservative Government headed by the totally incompetent if not traitorous Rishi Sunak, the architect of at least half of the country’s financial woes.

He is worse than I could ever have forecast and is giving away eye watering sums to foreign lost causes while people at home wonder where the next penny is coming from. I would gladly see him and his Cabinet at the bottom of some Australian snake pit and hope that the reptiles are more venomous than they are.

So, and there has to be a first for everything, when my MP Abena Oppong-Asare made public her exchanges with the Minister of State at the Department for Transport today I was delighted more than surprised.

Tory liesIt is an explanation for why South Eastern have been so confidently Tweeting that they will introduce their new timetable on 11th December with no concessions whatsoever to the campaigns organised by local Conservative Councillors with a history of public deception and MPs David Evennett and Louie French who are doing their best to emulate them.

Abena has secured confirmation from Huw Merriman, Minister of State at the Department of Transport, that Southeastern asked for permission to dodge any public consultation before slashing services and was given it.

A publicly owned railway was given formal permission to ignore public opinion and two MPs and the Tory Councillors’ propaganda machine decided that they would have to deceive the public rather than incur their wrath.

And Abena caught the buggers out!

With me most definitely not seeing any redeeming features among anyone on the government benches I have been looking at the websites of political parties that might show some sign of wishing to be conservative. In some ways I find UKIP’s the most attractive but I suspect their time has gone and retaining the old name doesn’t, in my opinion, do them any favours.

With other more prominent parties I am not sure if my payment would be a membership fee with meetings and news letters in return or whether it is just a donation to boost the egos of smooth talking millionaires. I rather suspect the latter and there have been times when it has been beneficial to be able to say I am not a member of any party. It’s an almost incredible 30 years since I quit the Tories, or should I say, they abandoned me and their principles.
