MP Heather Wheeler Minster for Homelessness

Where does the Tory party get their MPs from? I can't help wonder once they have lifted one rock and retrieved something reviled from the depths of hell they are able to find yet another very dislikeable individual. In this case I refer to none other than a Minister who is unable to give any kind of explanation of what the reasons are for the portfolio they are in charge of. Heather Wheeler is to be the zsar of homelessness, who has said by the year 2022 she would of halved rough sleeping and by 2027 erased it altogether. If ministers could be used for inflating hot air balloons we'd all be getting a great view of this country from 2 miles up.

So why is it this woman could not give a reason for homelessness? And especially when given a prompt of whether homelessness was linked to changes in welfare benefits she completely denied it. How can someone who represents South Derbyshire and has been an MP since 2010 have no viewpoint? Of all people a Minister though just a lousy third tier one should be able to give some reasoning. But her blandness is marked by her love of power and non-commital answer. For more on this see the Guardian article of Sunday 18th March 2018. Her answer beggars belief, how the hell can this person be in government and how the hell can she even be allowed any kind of ministerial responsibility. Her voting record is also of mild interest.

It seems Mrs Wheeler is one of these full right wing Tories, the kind who has voted against marriage of homosexual or lesbian persons, she doesn't believe in equality or human rights, has never voted for any investigations into Iraq but has voted for British personnel to go into conflict zones and fight. She was a rebel Tory who raised her head above the parapet to vote Britian out of the EU, She doesn't think people on welfare benefits should get any kind of increase in their benefits when ill or disabled, and voted for reductions in welfare spending whenever she could. She wants VAT to increase, but is perfectly fine with reducing tax levels for those earning over £150k per year and unsurprising has always voted to restrict trade unions. She voted to increase the tutition fee of students to £9k and to stop all financial support for 16 to 19 year olds. On green issues she has always voted to sell off our publicly owned forrests to private ownership, voted to stop anti-climate change campaigns, which makes sense in light of her voting to allow fracking. I wonder if there is any chance of fracking in South Derbyshire? She has voted for increases in public transport charges and the selling of public transport systems to private contractors. As you can see a very typical Tory of the kind which only likes those of the same Tory ilk. Though I don't quite understand how South Derbyshire could tolerate someone with these views and vote her in, for she doesn't share the same view of most of her constituents.

Mrs Wheeler has never needed the help of social housing so has been prvileged. She's not had children and doesn't know the responsibilities of feeding a family when you're on the breadline and just about managing to cope, or even not managing at all. She thinks she represents the people of her constituency because in Derbyshire they talk straight, yet her straight talking is way off course. People of South Derbyshire does this MP represent you? I'd doubt anyone could think she does for the only one she represents is herself. Don't let her in again, do the research see for yourself.

Shipley West Yorkshire - are you proud of Philip Davies your MP?

It is odd how certain places in acquire a stereo type image. Anyone would think Yorkshire of all places would be a friendly down to earth left leaning place. A place where being neighbourly and looking after each other was a norm. Yet somehow Shipley has elected in a Tory MP. Well, it is their privilege to elect whomever they want, however Philip Davies has got a bit of a name for himself. He's the one who likes to prevent as many private members bills single handedly. No matter what they were for. An example would be fellow Tory Nusrat Ghani, who tried to stop the use of the term 'honour killing' for simply it is a misnomer, there is no such thing in it and it should be called out for what it is, murder. The use of the word honour bestows an aura of justification not criminality or evil doing, there can never be any honour in killing. Even though we all think about it at times to our relates the vast majority don't do it. Then there was the occasion when Davies talked and talked and talked, by doing so he filibustered Caroline Lucas's bill in which she wanted to make sex and relationship education mandatory for kids. In fact you'd of thought such a bill to be quite reasoned, Davies didn't think so. He did the same to prevent the Istanbul Convention from ratification. This set a high bar for which violence against women should be dealt with. In a bill to allow free hospital parking for carers he did it again and in another bill to ensure landlords made their properties fit for human habitation he again gassed long enough to kill the bill. In fact it looks like Davies is the original Kill Bill.

So why Shipley, why, have you allowed this man to continue as your MP? People of Shipley is this who you really want to represent you, because it really does look like here is a man who represents himself very well. Do the people of Shipley also think and speak and feel the same way as Philip Davies? Because it is hard to believe they can for this behaviour is pretty low. To take this further there is now a video of a very distraught Luisa Omielan who tried to interview Davies, in a brief and upsetting interview she tried to understand why it was the NHS was suffering from cuts to it's services. Luisa had witnessed her own mother die in a NHs hospital and she was seeking to understand Philip Davies position on the matter. But it didn't end up as one rational person talking to another. Philip Davies shouted, accused and blocked Luisa from leaving with her camera recording of
events that had taken place. It can only be because Davis had shown his underbelly, not only is it yellow and cowardly it was the belly of a bully a man who tells doesn't listen and certainly is not worthy of the post of being an MP. A man who represents Shipley and you have to ask should this man have any power at all in the corridors of Parliament, for it seems there is more compassion in a sewer worker than this individual.

Now Luisa Omielan is a comedian by profession and she's not a hard wing left sympathiser, she does care about the NHS and her experience of it was on a personal level, an intimate level. In witnessing the decline and death of her mother. This is a person who had something to say and her voice should of been heard. Perhaps she should of asked to speak to Jeremy Hunt instead, but then surely any Tory MP should be able to show compassion to another individual and hear what they say. Followed by giving their astute political opinion on the issue raised. In this instance her interview with Philip Davies was scheduled and set in his diary so he had time to consider an answer. The interview wasn't about him being accosted out of the blue by a member of the public it was about him accounting for himself in what is a reasonable request. He didn't rise to it as a gentleman and certainly not as an honourable MP.

People of Shipley, seriously, is this who should continue to represent you?
