We need to drain our swamp, There are very few in Westminster worthy to be there. We voted Tory and got the sleazeball Greens. Reform is needed and Mr Tice will get my vote at the next election.

Sleaze is only downplaying what is corruption it should simply he called what it really is.

Corruption, open borders, green agenda, social engineering. I would have voted Labour for any of that. Even the Brexit deal is half baked. Reform UK will get my vote next time.

Peter Hitchens is one of the few people left whose opinions I value. I deplore the deterioration in values and morals now practised, evident and tolerated in our 'brave new world'. A corrupt government does not give out freedoms to its people but takes them for itself.

Love Peter Hitchens and always enjoy his chats with MG!!!

Reform party and Richard Tice for me. Unfortunately that would require a large proportion of the electorate to actually think. Something which is alien to them.

Yep... I agree. I voted Conservative for the first time in 2019 on the understanding that - in spite of what parliament had evidently tried to fudge during May's minority govt period on Brexit - that they were the only party of the two main parties committed to executing Brexit, which I saw as a repatriation of what Major, Blair and Brown did without ever asking any consent (namely selling out our legislative primacy in full to Brussels, via Maastricht, Nice and Lisbon treaties - the latter of which was just a re-clothed European Constitution with those scary words removed and a few internal edits!). But Boris definitely worries me with what has happened with the pandemic response and his green agenda that makes him sound as bad as people like Caroline Lucas! However, and here's the rub: where is a viable opposition choice? I don't trust Labour, mired as they are in identity politics, CRT, unconscious bias and the humourless and freedom opposing antithesis we know as "woke". I am more and more looking at Reclaim or Reform, frankly. Nothing other than a seismic change to the two-party monopoly can I see right now

There should be more noise about Claudia Webbe ... (the acid attack MP) who should resign ...😡

Am I the only one amazed that there is even a debate over this, i dont want my elected representative working in anyone other than my interests, these people get a salary which basically goes straight into their bank account, every cost they incur from the second they walk out of their front door is covered by expenses, travel, food, energy, housing, everything is subsidised and free, being given enough money to afford a London mortgage on expenses is bonus enough, they shouldnt have any other job, if they have their own business, fair enough, delegate and oversee whilst you are an MP, but second job, no.

1 minute late for your dole appointment and they stop the benefit for 3 months, meanwhile the MPs can do wharever they want without scrutiny.

The swamp is alive and full up again! What a disappointment, the least honourable are still there, standing room only!

Thank you both, another enjoyable 20mins Highlight in my week👍

I can't believe our conservative MP is even allowed in public office and sits in a safe seat. In 2014 he resigned as a ministers aid after being accused of paying a Brazilian male escort money for drugs and sex and a few years later was questioned by police for fighting with a friend and feeding a dog so much alcohol that it needed veterinary treatment. The whole system stinks.

No science is never settle, nor is science ever immune from questions and scrutiny ...

I don't know how Starmer has the right to criticise the Tories. At least they didn't back Colin Pitchforks release!!! Honestly, he goes on about a bit of sleaze but he backs a man that murdered 2 teenagers!!!

And this lot are going to laid off 60,000 care workers on thursday sleep well boris

However bad Boris is labour certainly isn’t the answer

The time is ripe to be a Jacobite, there is a man in Liechtenstein seems to be in waiting. Abolish the Act of Settlement 1701 and the law Protestant Progenitor. Bring forth the "Line of Stuart".

why do we always end up with the worst humanity has to offer as our leaders.

Holster your gun and hope your opponent does too. But what happens when they don't?

All this talk about second jobs. It seems to me like some of these crooks are treating being an MP as their 2nd job.

Whether or not you agree with Peter Hitchens he backs up his thought-out arguments with information that you can look at and use to form a counter argument. This seems rare these days. He's not just name-calling and trying to get people cancelled if they disagree.

I am in Scotland and I am bloody freezing, I blame all this global warming for my nuts turning blue

The most astonishing thing revealed in this posting is that kier 'empty suit' starmer can charge £750 per hour for his expertise.

Visit your local member. Their office is right there on Main Street. (Bet you have to wait for cops to turn up first?).

I very much hope ReformUK drives a very big wedge into the rotten stump of our political system and provides a conduit for the silent majority to rejoice in prudent Government spending, reduced forced taxation and controls, and common-sense policies through all public services prevailing.

Surely it must be the Reform Party and it’s debonair leader Richard Tice. He strikes me as a magnificently trustworthy man and since he has made millions and millions in real estate asset management it is inconceivable to me that he would ever be motivated by anything dodgy to add to his vast wealth. The only thing that slightly puts me off voting his way is the fawning sycophancy he is shown by expert in everything Mike Graham, plus Julia Hartley Brewer and Jeremy Kyle.

Where's my icepick....

Peter ,, its called controlling the vast unwashed !!

Mr Johnson is a Trojan horse with a jesters hat.

Mr Hitchens is a prime example of pure talent in the UK that could improve politics on day one if only we could get them elected.

Peter doesn’t like the Royal family but still wants a Royal family...you cant have it both ways Peter. Let them go....and they should leave a large proportion of their estate to the British people.

Always a pleasure to see these to giants of new reviews , I’m totally fed up with the so-called climate debate because it’s not a debate. It’s you must do this you must do that . You will obey our decisions , well I’m sorry but I don’t won’t to freeze this winter because they have shut down all the power stations . Although it might drag some of the climate fanatics in to a sense of reality

I recommend a book by David Craig "There is no climate change". It's the book Extinction Rebellion don't want anyone to read.

When escaping to a bastion of sanity becomes a necessity to survive. Never stop the reasoned debate, with a large sprinkling of jovial wit. Thanks.

Murdoch media covers it up if it's his favourites.

Is it true that winters are warmer? Or is heating and clothing better? And stats?

it's Ian Hislop's fault that Boris is Prime Minister???? really????

Power corrupts its as simple as that.

The PM is usually the cleanist in parliament because he/she has to be. This is why Dopey Doris will be gone soon after his big showcase event (cop26) is over. There's a £30 - 50 m US speaking tour waiting and hordes of finance companies waiting to shower money at him. An enticing prospect for a man earning a measly £140k p.a. with at least 6 kids to support and at least 3 former partners.

One man's sleaze is another man's WD40.

Hitchens' 1/3 of an hour

Is it sleaze, corruption or criminal ?

I am not approving of describing law positivly in 19th century UK The conditons for the working classes were dire indeed Poverty deprivation and attacks by troops. Following some improvement such things returned in 1918,

Peter Hitchens as usual is on target, I particularly agree with his views concerning the Royal family stupid partisanship activities at the ridiculous COP26 conference. Sadly Charlie has stabbed yet another nail into the coffin of house of Windsor. I like Peter support the concept of a monarchy, just not this group of cretins.

😃😃😃😃😃

Is it true or is it not that Boris Johnstone and all his cabinet are all millionaires, so saying the rewards come after they leave politics is not really true, is that right or is it not lol

Which politician or political party do you trust?

sit further back peter , for gods ssake man

Concrete can grow.

Gordon Brown didn’t behave like Blair !

I like Peter but he needs to smile some times 😁

Mike Graham Concrete Grower come get your freshly cut concrete, cement and aggregates, grown from Mikes magic bean's Plank's included

US lecture circuit.

He is a sell out. Another spineless puppet

Yeah politics is full of sleaze it's just that there's far more of it in the conservative party as the evidence shows...move along now.. nothing to see here

Socialist; MULTI millionaire Tony Blair.

talkradio is full of people who believe that you can grow concrete

Mr Hitchins has a habit of being condescending to those who don't share his views. So he's basically no better than anyone else.

Peter Hitchens . Absolute spineless sellout.
