The Conservative Party

I’m not sure being in contempt of Parliament is something to be criticised for.

There is contempt of Parliament and there is Contempt of Parliament.

Let me draw a parallel. You may be of the opinion that our courts of law are useless and the judges clueless. You are free to say that on here or down the pub. You can even put it in a newspaper.

But if you pop down to Crown Square, go in the law courts, stand up and tell the judge that he's a corrupt wanker who is not fit to judge a village flower show, you will almost certainly see the inside of a cell. At least until you formally apologise in open court.

OPINION: What planet are you on? 9 of Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith's 'finest moments' since coming into office

It’s fair to say that Brendan Clarke-Smith has been making the headlines this week.
www.worksopguardian.co.uk www.worksopguardian.co.uk

Otherwise just search the paper for "Brendan". I wish our local paper was as blunt about Tory MPs....

"In May, the intrepid Mr Clarke-Smith again faced a backlash for suggesting hard-pressed families ditch branded goods and buy supermarket-own baked beans instead amid spiralling food inflation. He later appeared on the GB News show of fellow Tory gob***** Lee Anderson to do a taste test . . . somehow proving his point?"

Straight on the spike!! Marvellous

“Other than that – aside from occasionally rocking up somewhere to get photoed wearing a hard hat – we publish his weekly column where he trots out the latest party line, and the occasional press release where he ‘welcomes’ whatever the Conservative government tell him to welcome. These tend to go straight on the spike.“

Thousands leave due to poor pay and conditions so instead of improving them we will try to recruit 1000s more on same condition, I wonder what they will do?

You always need the healthy kind of churn but typically the cost of recruitment and training for skilled roles is eyewatering compared to retention. It's a bizarre strategy that suggests either a mind numbing level of incompetence or a willful desire to destroy the service presumably for ideological reasons.

I always think it’s because they don’t want long term career people it costs them too much in pensions etc, I know the military want this and the fire service as well, burn people out and get rid. Like you say the training etc costs a small fortune but those making the decisions tend never to be there to see the mess they create.

Exactly, a recruitment strategy is meaningless without an aligned retention and progression strategy as each impacts the other.

There is a retention strategy, to be fair. Train doctors on either ‘apprenticeships‘ or over a reduced 4 year course, get the hygienists to pull teeth, and porters to do nursing and no fucker else will touch them with a barge poll therefore, they stay here, thus retention complete.
Another brilliant strategy from the ever thoughtful conservative government………..
