Tory MP suspended for good use of party funds



"We have suspended one of ours MPs for using party funds in a way which can only be described as kind," said a Conservative Party spokes-rottweiler.


"In a despicably caring and compassionate manner, this appalling do-gooder gave a large amount of members' money to Age Concern, and another chunk to Cancer Research.


"He also handed out some small change from the constituency office kitty to some homeless people near the station. And he didn't even sneer at them or lecture them while he did so.


"This MP has disgraced the name of conservatism and he can run off and join Labour or the Lib Dems, or some other bleeding heart progressive party if he likes, but there's no room in the Tories for the likes of him.


"And if any other of our MPs are ever tempted to perform some act of kindness for the poor and vulnerable, they should think to themselves: 'what would Suella Braverman do?'"

Charity appeal for the disadvantaged



Please could you spare £50 to help people in Britain suffering serious disadvantage? These people are ‘unseen’ and most people are not aware of their plight. They suffer quietly, in silence, and are offered little practical help by governments, society or even by their neighbours, family and friends.


Twenty pounds could provide these people with some meaningful activity, helping them to meet like-minded folk and to bring them back into mainstream society. This would improve their mental well-being, help them to keep their embarrassing visions under control and address their feelings of powerlessness. This would help them to stop obsessing about potholes, recycling or 20mph speed limits.


Ten pounds would fund ‘distraction packs’ to keep them occupied at home, so that they don’t grind their teeth, pull their hair out, or punch walls. It’s not much to ask.


If you could find a spare five pounds, then this will pay for reading material that will help them to find alternatives to the Guardian and gain a more balanced view of the world. Or it could provide a seminar to help them to find calming activities, such as slow TV or YouTube videos of kittens.


If you only have one pound, then you should probably hang on to it.


Whatever you’ve got, it would be wonderful if you could consider donating to help those suffering in silence as Liberal Democrats.
