Article 50

- Start date
Could you please re-read this thread and tell us where our glorious M.P. has been accused of voting against Article 50?
Now, I have to confess to a prejudice against this figure of Labours finest example, ever since his announcement of wanting to leave the E.U. but claiming he would vote to stay.
That does not allow you to put words into mine or any other right thinking persons mouth.
O.K. he's voted for triggering, that doesn't tell us what a hindrance he may or may not become when it is being negotiated.
IF
He represented his constituents we wouldn't be having this conversation, we would be saying bravo Graham for supporting your locals.
IF
You support Graham thats fine, don't just invent a reason to put everyone else down.
Nah job preservation if he voted against it he could easily find himself working back with us plebs come election time
I never said that anyone had accused Graham Jones of voting against Article 50 .
Could you please re-read this thread and tell us what some of the political pundits on here said they thought Graham Jones may do when it came to the vote ?
I don't think I have ever been called a political pundit before...but I think I could get used to it...and as for being wrong...yes, well that is not something new to me. I was certainly proved wrong when voting for this man - so I guess i had better get used to that as well 
I think that perhaps we were swayed by our general disillusionment on how our representative has perfomed for us thus far. You surely cannot blame us for this.
I really did think that he would either vote against the Bill or if not that then abstain...even though all Labour MP's had been directed by their leader.
I re-read it before I asked you to do so, but you did claim our so called 'political pundits' had got it wrong, to get it wrong surely someone has to make a mistake? Such as claiming Graham Jones voted against Article 50?
No-one has done such a thing, however speculating which way Graham Jones will or won't vote in the future isn't getting it wrong as you claim, it is a guess, will it be a good guess?
Only time will tell,
as for
Is not the same as:-
Which implies someone did accuse him of voting against, which no-one did.
Please, if you wish to put us in our place do it in a correct manner.
Wow! Talk about a sweeping generalisation...
Care to back the 'as usual' comment up?
Two or three get their predictions wrong and you post this bilge.
There's a guy in my local that always says 'see, told you so', when the underdogs win in a football match....funny thing is nobody can ever remember him EVER saying this before the kick-off.
Ain't much kudos in smugness AFTER the event.
ill admit i expected the self absorbed EU lover to spite us and vote against article 50
maybe thanks to enough people refusing to shut up and continuously spread the word and remind people of his last betrayal he thought it too risky to his cushy job to do it again
now we just need to get shut of him at the next election and get someone in who dosnt have such a low opinion of his constituents

Spot on.
Not only has he a low opinion of his constituents, but he has a high opinion of himself.
Somehow going to the metropolis has made him think he is better than those who voted for him, when all he is, is lucky. Lucky that we were blind to his flaws when we voted for him.
Lucky that we failed to spot that he could be manipulated by promises of position and power.
It has gone to his head.

It is easy to keep tabs on your MP and what and how he votes in the Commons. Go to the website www.theyworkforyou.com and it is all there for all to see. No MP can say they voted one way when they voted the other because it is there in black and white.
Even more interesting is this page
MP Costs
Just compare our MP with the PM or Corbyn, or David Nuttall from Bury...There is absolutely no impropriety or dishonesty from Jonesy, nor are there any false/nonsensical claims, what I do question is the managerial and budgeting skills of a back bencher who's office and staff has year on year since he became an MP, pretty much cost more than his leader, the current PM and a sitting MP with similar experience representing a constituency less than 20 miles away.
Oh and don't forget this gem....
Da Steeps Speaks: Slave labour required
And he still couldn't undercut the staffing and office costs of the other 3 I've mentioned..
Is this the kind of person you really want voting on the use of vast amounts of public money?
Yes it's funny but it's what students do who want that experience. Ironic people are moaning about his staffing costs and how he didn't pay an intern
Totally missing the point again....let me spell it out for you...
The p-o-i-n-t is....
'And he still couldn't undercut the staffing and office costs of the other 3 I've mentioned'
Not missing the point at all, are you assuming each MP has a like for like way of doing things? Maybe some MP's are much more active than others and employ more staff so people contacting them are dealt with more professionally.
I don't know because I've never contacted any MP's through their offices so can't compare one to another.

..ah... tangential argument time..changing from 'irony' to 'assumption'
I’ll bite…are you seriously asking me to even consider that our MP has a bigger workload than either Teresa May or Jeremy Corbyn?? That he gets more letters that need answering or requests for TV and radio interviews that have to be agreed or refused? That is he contacted on a regular basis by major foreign dignitaries or their staff or is required to attend more functions than the aforementioned. (Corbyn often reads out letters he receives in Parliament)....AND they still have constituency issues to deal with
Out of May, Corbyn and Jonesy only one has staff that think their boss lives in ‘xxxx’, and those are the least cost effective....now that is 'ironic' and it ain't an 'assumption'
There is a 95% chance you are right
Are you sure Corbyn can read?
corbyn can read
thats how he knew he had to sit on the floor on that train because he read that the empty seats were full
