The Conservative Party

He came across as a weasely used car salesman.
His £85,000 a year for 4 hours a day with a company linked to people who lost their life savings is despicable.

Always baffles me - MP's and outside jobs. They woman and moan about how long the hours in the commons are and how late the house sits they still find time to do other jobs. I suppose the obvious answer is for the house to convene at 9am but that would restrict their availability for 2nd jobs. I don't imagine the board of the firm that hired him fancied holding meetings at 1am. If Mercer was my MP I'd be keen to ask him how he finds the time to spend 4 hrs a day working elsewhere - its not like his main job is part time and on minimum wage is it?
 
In Spain the far right party Vox have had a reasonably successful night. They have been celebrating in Plaza Margaret Thatcher in Madrid. Not sure quite what the Iron lady would make of it.

No one on here knows how the discussion went with Hislop.

It is always heavily edited and Mercer’s libel action against the BBC will also have severely restricted what could be broadcast under subjudice rules.

I thought it was 4 hours a week. You wouldn't get a Tory MP to work for £85k if they were having to put in a daily shift.
 
Odd comment. People were talking specifically about his performance on that show, as seemingly were you?

Not odd really I don’t know if posters had looked into/were aware of the story before the show. Also we know how some posters like to post based on their political viewpoint it’s almost a given with some on here. Unless you feel natural bias wouldn’t affect someone’s opinion of the guy we will have to disagree I guess.

I haven’t a clue what he has or hasn’t done but in terms of reaction to being called a liar by Hislop his reaction seemed perfectly normal. The fact he didn’t act like a normal politician isn’t a negative to me.
