This is extraordinary, and really once again shows that Parliament is not fit for purpose.

You can get thrown out of a debate for correcting someone else's dodgy statistics, but if you spout dodgy statistics, then the system protects you.

And not the first time this has happened, either.

"twisting the meaning of my words"

Whose words, again, exactly?

Is #EstherMcVey doubling-down on false equivalency by adding plagiarism?

Esther McVey used a poem about the Holocaust to criticise proposals for tougher rules on outdoor smoking.

Common sense declares neither convicted Pimp, Pornographer and #WestHamUnited CEO #DavidSullivan, or his #RHOCheshire / Only Fans fiance #AmpikaPickston, should have ever been allowed by Cheshire child-protection authorities - including #Ofsted, to have ANYTHING whatsoever to do with care homes housing little girls under 16 anywhere!

What do you think #KeirStarmer, even #esthermcvey - #Conservatives MP for Tatton, 84 Chapel Lane #Wilmslow #Cheshire

#PrimeMinister #westhamunited

I see #EstherMcVey has banned #RainbowLanyards

* Immediately goes on eBay to buy a #Rainbow #Lanyard to match my badge *

"Common Sense" = "Anti-LGBTQIA"

Got it?

They're not fixing the NHS, they're not dealing with the Cost Of Living Crisis, they're being cruel to people like me and Othering us
