Tory Cabinet Thread

Patterson's full statement. Classlessly using his wife's memory again then saying he doesn't want her to be used as a political football. And what the fuck is he on about saying MPs have mocked his wife's suicide? Resignation or not, he should be told to put up or shut up with claims like that. 

 

"I have today, after consultation with my family, and with much sadness decided to resign as the MP for North Shropshire.

 

The last two years have been an indescribable nightmare for my family and me.

 

My integrity, which I hold very dear, has been repeatedly and publicly questioned.

 

I maintain that I am totally innocent of what I have been accused of and I acted at all times in the interests of public health and safety.

 

I, my family and those closest to me know the same. I am unable to clear my name under the current system.

 

Far, far worse than having my honesty questioned was, of course, the suicide of my beloved and wonderful wife, Rose.

 

She was everything to my children and me. We miss her every day and the world will always be grey, sad and ultimately meaningless without her.

 

The last few days have been intolerable for us.

 

Worst of all was seeing people, including MPs, publicly mock and deride Rose’s death and belittle our pain. My children have therefore asked me to leave politics altogether, for my sake as well as theirs.

 

I agree with them. I do not want my wife’s memory and reputation to become a political football.

 

Above all, I always put my family first.

 

This is a painful decision but I believe the right one.

 

I have loved being the MP for North Shropshire and have considered it a privilege to have been elected to serve my constituents for 24 years.

 

I would like to thank my staff who have worked for me so loyally over many years. I also want to thank those who have stood by me so staunchly.

 

I wish them all the best in that difficult but vital job of being a member of parliament.

 

I will remain a public servant but outside the cruel world of politics.

 

I intend to devote myself to public service in whatever ways I can, but especially in the world of suicide prevention.

 

At this incredibly difficult time for my family, we ask that the media respects our privacy and lets us grieve my beloved Rose, the best person I ever met."

Absolutely agree with this, cheeky twat, show us what was said and where it was said or stick your non-existent integrity up your arse!

Seeing as mps cannot even call each other out for not telling the truth,when exactly has an mp publically mocked his wifes death?

From the Guardian live blog earlier-

 

Opposition MPs may be surprised by the claim in Owen Paterson’s statement that some of them mocked his wife’s death by suicide last year. (See 2.45pm.) He may have been referring to a moment during PMQs yesterday. In his sketch (paywall) for the Times (paywall), Quentin Letts said: “At PMQs earlier, Boris Johnson had mentioned Rose Paterson’s suicide. Up went several aw-diddums ‘ahhs’ from the Labour side.” My colleague John Crace, the Guardian’s sketchwriter, was also in the gallery and he tells me he did not see anything that could be described as MPs mocking Rose’s death. My impression was that when Johnson mentioned Rose’s suicide, that did prompt a faint reaction from some MPs, but that was more because they felt Johnson was using Rose’s death as cover because he was finding it hard to justify the vote exempting Paterson from the standards committee recommendations. But I was listening to the debate on TV, not watching from the gallery, so I may have missed aspects of the reaction.

 

So more lies.

A man of huge integrity.

How we could do with someone like him today.

Walked past the great mans statue today. Make no mistake if Bevan posted his thoughts on the EU on here he'd be fuvking slaughtered, same with Foot, Benn, Atlee, Bob Crow. 

 

You are indeed correct in describing Bevan as a man of great integrity, and you're more than right to say we need a man of his stature today. 

 

The right wing bogus socialists would toss him to the wolves on social media platforms such as this. 

 

Worth remembering in the disastrous election gone by in which the tories achieved a massive majority in Bevans old constituency of Tredegar the Tory polled a massive 6%, probably buoyed by family of the candidate and people putting their cross on the wrong box.
