What an awful panel, piddock is a born again left winger, a "diversity campaigner", a "social campaigning poet" and a bake off judge.
If you don't have better things to do you should question your life!
I'll tune into this week later, when the get the adults on....

Laura Pidcock is a strong critic of the incumbent Conservative government. She attracted attention in mid-2017 for calling them "the enemy" and saying she was "disgusted at the way they’re running this country".[11] Pidcock has also stated she has "absolutely no intention of being friends with any Tories."[12]
She maintains the government is doing far too little for poor people, and that her constituency has suffered long-term deindustrialisation and a lack of investment, leading to significant financial difficulties for many residents. During her surgeries, people have complained that the government does not care and has broken off support. She has highlighted the rise in volunteer organisations to help support people who she feels have been left behind by the state.[13]
On Universal Credit Pidcock condemned the rollout just before Christmas when poor people's budgets are very tight. She asked, ‘My question for the Prime Minister is this. Is the roll-out a matter of gross incompetence or calculated cruelty?’[14]
In June 2017, Pidcock raised the issue of social housing saying she would accept a council house, but there were none available and was renting in the private sector. She was unable to afford the deposit for her first home, despite her MPs salary, because of university debt.[15]
Pidcock supports the policies of party leader Jeremy Corbyn. She supports Britain leaving the European Union, though her local area of northeast England is one of the major beneficiaries of EU funding in the UK. She has been tipped as a future party leader, though she has said she is more interested in grass-root politics.[3] She socialises little with MPs, preferring to spend time in her constituency where possible.[16]

Will hold judgement on her till see what she says,but she bought a house for 250,000 in December so a bit of a uturn there..
Corbynista Labour MP "is a strong critic of the incumbent Conservative government."
How quaint, who would have thought it?

Leopard instead of typing all that out you could of described her in one word. I'll give the answer early next week. See you next Tuesday 
Liam Fox :
During October 2011, Fox's close friendship with Adam Werritty attracted extensive media attention and eventually led to Fox's resignation. Werrity had been best man at his wedding, had lived rent-free in Fox's flat, and been involved with him in business and in the conservative Atlanticist think-tank The Atlantic Bridge.[76]
While Fox was Defence Minister, Werrity had visited Fox at the Ministry of Defence on many occasions, had accompanied Fox on numerous official trips, attended some of his meetings with foreign dignitaries, and had used official-looking business cards which said he was an "advisor" to Fox,[98] all despite having no government post or security clearance.[99] The media raised questions about Fox's judgement in allowing this to happen and the source of Werrity's income.
In response, Fox initially requested Ursula Brennan, the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Defence, to investigate his connection with Werrity.[100][101][102][103] Some of the meetings involved himself, Werritty, Matthew Gould (before he was Britain's Ambassador to Israel), and in some cases, Denis MacShane.
The Foreign Office responded by saying "The FCO has total confidence that Matthew Gould has acted appropriately at all times and at no stage was he acting independently, or out of line with government policy."[104][105]
On Sunday 9 October 2011, in advance of Brennan's initial report of the result of her inquiry to the Prime Minister, Fox made a statement apologising publicly for his conduct in relation to Werrity, denying wrongdoing but admitting errors of judgement in mixing his professional and personal loyalties.[106] The inquiry was escalated and Fox resigned in advance of publication of the full report by the Cabinet Secretary.[36]
[107]
The full list of Fox's meetings[108] for his time in office to date, 20 May 2010 to 8 October 2011, was published by the MoD after 7 pm on 10 October 2011[109] and revealed that Werrity was present at 40 of Fox's 70 engagements in that period (57%). In 2005–6, Fox used public money, from his expense claims as an MP, to pay Adam Werritty.[110]

SOCIALISM IN ACTION - THE RADICAL PEOPLES CHAMPION AND WELL KNOWN FIREBRAND AND POSSIBLE FUTURE LABOUR LEADER
A pro-Corbyn MP has bought a ‘superb’ three-bedroom house in a historic village just weeks after saying her Commons wages meant she was too poor to own a home.
North West Durham MP Laura Pidcock faced Tory accusations of ‘hypocrisy’ after it emerged that she snapped up a newly refurbished detached home in the picture-postcard village in County Durham.
The property is close to three pubs and a village green, and is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. It was on the market for £250,000 when she bought it with National Union of Teachers official Daniel Kebede in September.

What would anyTory MP know?
Ms Pidcock just quotes from the "Socialist Songbook" , but when confronted is clueless.

It is on the level of a certain landan Labour MP who sends children to private school.
You won't believe me, but a friend of mine did two terms at westmonster and described it as a 'big club' - that is ALL of them,
not just tory boys but also 'firebrands' like Piddock.
Just look as how they STILL treat so called expenses.

Great to hear Prue Leith's views on council housing
Yeah great mecca, if people have council houses they'll pay less rent and not be beholden to paying a mortgage so that they can go on strike.............exactly what we need ! Bring back the 70s and drag the country back down on its knees
What's not to vote for
