Mercer is desperate. Watching him lash out in desperation because he’s losing his job to Fred at the next General Election would be beautiful if it wasn’t deeply vile and misogynistic behaviour from a so called MP.
He’s lying about his record of failure.
I’ll enjoy this one.
Spent the night in A&E as breathing appears to have been evading me a little. I'd say that Jeremy Hunt should spend a night there before he wades out with his plans for inheritance tax, because the last thing we let him be in charge of was as breathless as me last night
Former Royal Marine Captain @FredThomasUK (Labour candidate against Johnny Mercer in next GE) responds calmly, but firmly, to Mercer's disgraceful slurs about his military service.

Today's inbetween time festive @WeHaveWaysPod episode recorded in the Buttery at @StEdmundHall. @james1940 said to @jonathanfennell "let's just chat about writing" and this is what we got.

Only under this weak Prime Minister could the Cabinet Minister responsible for veterans feel free to attack another vet’s service, without reprimand.
Instead of criticising us, he should be encouraged to do his job - instead of letting veterans homelessness rise 14% in the last year.
In February, my opponent Mercer vowed to end veterans homelessness this year.
Instead, it INCREASED by 14%
Veterans like myself, who have served our country, out on the cold streets. I’m furious.
That is abject failure. Will he apologise?

Under the Tories, fraud has become the most commonly experienced crime in Britain.
Only Labour will deliver a new plan to prevent fraud, punish the criminals responsible and give communities the protection they need.

Now Johnny Mercer is using the "NEW HOSPITALS" definition technique loved by Tories.
🔷40 "new hospitals" promised with Brexit were redefined by the Tories into "a new additional building or refurbishment".
🔷Not new hospitals at all then.
🔷And so Mercer is ranting that HIS definition of "homelessness" is right even though it differs to that of the charity Shelter and all others. He would, wouldn't he?
🔷Mercer now claims when he says "homelessness" it means "sleeping rough".
🔷Except that isn't the definition used by everyone working within the Homelessness arena.
🔷It is "the condition of lacking stable, safe, and functional housing."
🔷Using the correct definition, veteran homelessness rose by 14% this year, in contradiction to Mercer's 'promise' in the House of Commons.
🔷Like James Cleverly recently said he called Stockton MP 'a sh*t MP' rather than Stockton "a sh*thole" (he did call that fine town by that name), this group of Tories seem to believe their claims and definitions simply because they say them!!
