YvetteCooperMP Public sector workers always say the company is run down Yet aren’t they employed to make it better and NOT run it down Or are these sectors built just on more money and never about efficiency and good service

Harry and Meghan: UK press monetised hatred of couple, says MPLabour MP Chris Bryant says newspapers filled sites with hateful content to drive viewing figures. What is it that makes me think Chris Bryant MP talks utter shite most of the time? Gutter press hounding them and the absolute Karens who tweet about them every single day are a disgrace. Weirdos. That Dan Wootton would happily do exactly what he did to Caroline Flack. Sick twisted behaviour. That's what scummedia do.
