@beckettphoto@KevinASchofield And so you use your opinion to filter what he says?
Your disagreeing with him, disliking him doesn’t remove his right to offer his opinion.

@DougMurray11543@HasanHussain777 I’m confused. Did you not see the list of just a few Brand examples which all took place prior to the video opportunity with Miliband.
@Mark4choice Sadly he hasn’t been an MP for so long his in the blood knowledge of Bills passed and Bills in progress just isn’t there.
He’s clearly not a details guy that’s why he pads out all his answers and statements.

@ArthurPewtey68@stuzi_pants@KemiBadenoch The difference is - Savile hadn’t been exposed when Thatcher knew him. His charity work opened many doors.
Brand had already been fired by the BBC for one of many demeanours.
Badenoch was shining a light on sanctimonious Labour MPs keen to exploit anyone for votes.
Another major regeneration project bites the dust. Seven years of blood and gold squandered in Birmingham. Last month Landsec abandoned Lewisham and British Land Canada Water. The perils of thinking too big and too long term.
@ThomasEvansAdur@PippaCrerar Thomas - in simple terms - surely Badenoch’s point is that it’s right to include the revenue in the Parliament if you’re committed to approving it?
Labour have thus far taken over two years to not approve it with no sign they will. Hiding behind quasi-judicial no longer works.
@SashaSwire Not sure anyone cares about the plan. But it’s part of a collection of announcements that have been delayed, cancelled forgotten.
You can’t hold Burnham accountable for much so this plan is a substitute for action.
@HasanHussain777 Hasan - please don’t be so revolting.
Criticise her politics but don’t presume any woman - Labour, Conservative, other - doesn’t care about rape or the victims of rape.
I do hope you recognise that at the time of the Miliband Brand interview much was already known about Brand.
@GrazzaD@deanbegley1 I’m being a bit too broad - I understood Badenoch’s point to mean - perhaps Miliband, Burnham et al should take care before they sidle up on the sofa to grab celebrity endorsements. Burnham and Miliband fall foul of this concept.
@JimCognito2016 Was it a joke?
I thought she was highlighting the desperate behaviour of Labour MPs who’ll do anything for a vote.
Let’s be really clear - this was about 2015 when much was already known about Brand. He’d already been booted from the BBC for dreadful behaviour.
Cameron tells Burnham - don’t rejoin the EU.
“…our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit.”
***EXCLUSIVE by @MishalHusain***
David Cameron says Britain should NOT rejoin the EU
The former prime minister warns Andy Burnham that starting a conversation about rejoining would be “very long and painful”
Speaking in a Bloomberg interview, Cameron urges Burnham not to trigger another “decade-long debate about whether should be in or out.” He also says the UK should not enter a customs union with the EU
As the PM who led the Remain campaign in 2016, Cameron’s intervention will be seen as significant. He says Britain’s economic problems aren’t due to Brexit
“Today, instead of launching an argument about rejoining, which I think would be a very long and painful argument, and who knows where it would end up, instead of that, focus on how do we be the best friend, best neighbour, best partner,” Cameron says
The former PM also warns Burnham that talking about Britain rejoining could hamper future negotiations
“If you start endlessly producing this idea that we’re actually on a path to rejoining, I think you’re in danger of getting a less good partnership deal because of course the EU countries will just think: well, these guys are gonna rejoin anyway, so what’s the point in giving them a good partnership deal… If you’re not going to, you know, commit to trying to make the partnership stronger because you’re flirting with rejoining, I think there’s some dangers there,” Cameron says
“I don’t think actually necessarily joining a customs union is the right answer. If you look at the economic problems we have today, I don’t really think they’ve got anything to do with Brexit at all. I mean, our economic problems are we are overspending, over-borrowing, over-taxing, over-regulated, and far too much being spent on working age welfare. Those are a set of problems that have nothing to do with Brexit. We need a government that actually gets spending under control, gets taxes down, helps entrepreneurs, deals with our borrowing problem, reforms the welfare, and massively deregulates so we can build houses, build infrastructure. None of those have got anything to do with Europe. So that’s sort of, in a way, that’s my point. Do we really want to go into another decade-long debate about whether we should be in or out, when actually we should deal with our own problems while making the partnership model work?”
“I fought the campaign to stay in on an amended basis, and I obviously wanted to win that campaign. I was desperately disappointed that we lost that campaign. But I’m a democrat, a believer in democracy. We voted to leave, and I think the right thing now is to try and become, you know, not just neighbors, partners, and friends of the EU, but the best friends, the best neighbors, the best partners. And I think we can make that work”
