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.
