I’m not going to research this before writing this communication. You are going to get my live reaction as I search through data sources to see what the evidence is to back up my hypothesis that the current UK Government Cabinet are assholes. The evidence I’m going to collect is from They Work For You and I’m going to compare voting records on human rights issues. I’m going to use the top five or so ministers from government and also those in the shadow cabinet to see if there are some broad differences. I AM going to make a value judgement on the overall work of these MPs using how they vote on social issues. If you think it’s ok to be in charge of this country but to deny people human rights then I guess that is your choice but I bet you are cis white het.
UK Tory Government
Rishi Sunak – Generally voted against giving people equal rights.
Dominic Raab – Generally voted against giving people equal rights.
Jeremy Hunt – Generally voted against giving people equal rights.
James [not] Cleverly – Generally voted against giving people equal rights.
Suella Braverman – all the bad.
UK Shadow Cabinet
Kier Starmer – voted for the good things.
Angela Rayner – voted for the good things.
Pat McFadden – voted for the good things.
David Lammy – generally voted for the good things.
Yvette Cooper – almost always voted for the good things.
These results aren’t really a surprise. The tories generally vote against doing good things for people and the labour shadow cabinet generally vote for doing good things for people. Why people even vote tory I don’t understand. Oh, yes, I do understand, it’s because they are largely selfish and lack empathy.
