Alok Sharma is in there, Grant Shapps, Boris Johnson, Raab and George Eustice. 

 

Point proven right there for Raab. lol

I actually LOL'd with that first question from the public, he said hello to a recording then stood there for good few seconds whilst the question was written in front of him. Good old Raab.

I'm always a bit sad when Johnson doesn't do it - he brings a real comedy value angle to it all.

Rankings of useless ministers (top or bottom five)

Patel

Sharma

Jenrick (deserving of a mention for sure)

You have to really dig deep but there are some droplets of comedy in nearly every one.

I'm surprised Rees-Mogg's almost complete and utter lack of point hasn't been mentioned.

He's not useless, just a pretty vile human.

I thought his only contribution the other week was fairly f@ckwitted.

Have to say, when it comes to real stupidity, I find it hard to look past Jo Swinson (know she wasn't a minister obvs).

My mate who works at parliament says hes actually a decent guy who always speaks to the staff and remembers their name, and is very polite.

Apparently the new northern wall Tory Mps are the worse, just really rude. And dennis skinner was awful as well. Oh, and john bercow was a terrible human being as well.

I'll give him that he speaks well and knows how to present himself. I've found on occasions nearly thinking he sounds decent when listening to him then I remember his views on various matters and that quickly disappears. 

That's interesting about the new Tory MPs, they have been cut in Johnson's image after all.

Simon Clarke comes across as especially awful on social media.

I did read something recently that the Tories put a load of useless candidates in northern constituencies they had no idea they would win and now its clear they are pretty terrible.

I just don't get running out immediately to the shops. Is it that satisfying? Are people that bored?

It might just be the terrain, northern tories are generally awful apparently.

 

Jeremy hunt is nice enough, but apparently his office is full of pictures of him meeting celebrities.

A perfect representation of those who voted for them. I think the vast majority of people in the mile long queues outside Primark and Sports Direct today were the new batch of Tory voters. 
 

I’m almost ashamed to be Northern

To be fair mine would be too. Hunt seems alright but I can never get past how he treated the NHS when he was Health Sec.

I met a guy at a do once, we were getting p1ssed and chatting. He told me he used to do security for Labour. Said Gordon Brown down the pub is right at home, the most sociable, chatty, nice person you can imagine. Just comes across awfully on TV. Said Blair was the complete opposite. Like a fish out of water when trying to socialise.

Mogg isn't very popular around here but he does at least know how to deal with people in a civil way, his tribute to Jeremy Corbyn is a good example,

Jess Phillips seems to get along well with him too, which is pretty surprising, there are a few vids on youtube of them together.

Gordon Brown could’ve been a very good PM, shame.

I've become like a prisoner who becomes institutionalised in this lockdown- I've no desire to go to the shops, I feel safe in my lodgings! Potter about in the nearby countryside and go to the supermarket once a week. Content skyping, phoning and zooming people

Thoroughly enjoyed the lockdown (I've always struggled with social anxiety so bizarrely its been liberating), I've started telling my friends that the only form they can hope to see me in in the near future is via Skype on an ipad on a Stick attached to a segway. 😂

Might be tempted by greggs doughnuts when they open though... 

I've been feeling the same way. I was fine at the start, when I was still going to work. But since being (sort of) furloughed I've really been avoiding going out unless I have to. Actually, getting out of bed can be much the same . Not quite sure why my mindset flipped like that.

[parsonjack]

I went in a shop for the first time since lockdown on Saturday and it was like the muscle memory of how to do it had gone.  Very strange.  I used contactless so didn't need to PIN (although I can remember it) but even doing that felt oddly alien.

Shows how long since I've been to Manchester - didn't realise they had a Uniqlo now, looks big. What did that shop used to be- was it TK Maxx?

And fair enough - I forget people get bored at home, I work at home in a small town as of the past 2 years anyway and I think I'm just at the point of acceptance, which is probably not a good thing long term! 

I think it was the BHS site and it's fairly new.

I don't go into town all that often, last time was 14th March which was a Saturday and even though there were defo less people based on a normal Saturday, I would say there would be 2-3 times the amount of people you see in this video. Manchester gets really busy after 11am tbh and Weekends are rammed!!
