Theresa May’s performances at PMQs (Prime Minister’s Questions) started badly and have grown ever worse as the floundering PM’s ground has eroded beneath her. But today we saw the spectacle of a Prime Minister reduced to stammering incoherence by a simple question that she simply had no viable answer for.
Labour MP Lisa Nandy left May looking a wreck and struggling to form a sentence – with a simple challenge on why May as Home Secretary did nothing when Nandy raised with her three times the issue of Tory ‘Whips’ using information on sex assaults and harassment to keep MPs in line, instead of dealing with it:
May looked like her legs were about to give way. Guilt put on the hook will do that to a person. Just about the one coherent phrase she managed was the ‘I am very clear’ line that she always uses when she’s about to obfuscate and has no intention of being clear at all.
Ms Nandy subsequently tweeted the text of one of those three questions she had put to May and seen no action:
3 yrs ago, I asked Theresa May to act on evidence that Whips had covered up sexual misconduct. Today at #PMQs I asked her again to act. pic.twitter.com/NBl0iwyJK3

The BBC interview to which Ms Nandy referred in 2014 – from the 1995 programme Westminster’s Secret Service – is as shocking as it is awful, with a frank admission from former Whip Tim Fortescue that the Tory Whips would even help cover up child abuse or ‘any kind of scandal‘ for Tory MPs if they could exploit it to keep them pliant:
Small wonder that May floundered and struggled not to collapse altogether. She knew about this – was asked three times just by Lisa Nandy about it – and did precisely nothing.
Allowing abusers to remain protected and in power – and enabling the abuse of more women and men to continue in Westminster.

36 names on the tory sex-pest spreadsheet.
Time for plod to start investigating the lot of them – with her at the top of the list.
surely May must go now
Indeed…
…Straight to the gallows. Overlooking/omitting something the once could be construed as an honest mistake, twice is carelessness…more than twice cannot be anything else other than complicity.
Corruption has maintained power for the establishment for centuries, this insight now can’t be ruled out as conspiracy theories, isn’t it time the people of this country realised that they are taken daily as fools by these people, who are unfit to hold offices of the state.
Well said. .
Even the pagans would do away with their tribal chiefs if the crops failed the one single time.
May has ballsed up** just about everything she’s been near since she’s held a position of responsibility (2010) and by virtue of people’s ‘laissez-faire’ (laziness) atttitude; far from being thrown to the wolves, she’s been promoted and still clings on – along with the other toerags.
**Some issues (like this) haven’t been entirely accidental, neither. There’s far too many failures of procedure, or wilful ignorance of warnings for this to be accidental, or put down to mere incompetence.
Wake up folks.
Could someone please tell me how these people keep getting elected. Next question where do we line up to get our pitchforks? power does indeed corrupt.
power is maintained by corruption. https://eurofree3.wordpress.com/2015/09/23/vile-bodies-mutual-secrets-mutual-blackmail/
Well done Lisa. The star of the show today. Skinner wasn’t bad eithr
See highlighted section.
All good patriots should ignore the evidence!
Its official , Head in the sand is the approved tactic.
Roger
Head in the sand is the approved tactic.
Goes a bit further than ‘head in the sand’. The (im)balance of the evidence – as it stands – is that she’s complicit. She couldn’t gab her way out of it when asked in the commons – she’d crumble in court, under oath.
And that’s where she needs to be. No impartial person could possibly fail to convict her. Her record grasses her up.
Brilliant, important article. Keep sharing the knowledge.
KUENSSBERG AT IT AGAIN…
ONCE MORE WITH A LABOUR INTERN COMPLAINT…ALTHOUGH IT’S NOT KNOWN (THIS TIME) WHAT PARTY THE MP THAT’S COMPLAINED ABOUT IS FROM…
AND NO MENTION OF THE QUESTION FROM LISA NANDY …BUT THEN AGAIN, THE BBC TURNED A BLIND EYE TO F*CKING YOUR KIDS AS WELL…NO DOUBT WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THEIR TORY MASTERS
SORRY, BUT I’M LIVID ABOUT THE SUBLIMINALLY BIASED SHITE THEY’RE SPEWING OUT.
