I do take your point. It’s just all too often the real story gets forgotten or moved on from too quickly by whataboutery and accusations of virtue signalling or bias etc
In this case, a government voting against helping out the most basic needs of the most needy children in society during the most difficult time of a generation, when things are about to get worse for many who will undoubtedly lose part of their salary or their job completely due to the pandemic response. It’s completely vile and drew a reaction from an MP who should know far better, and who apologised for her actions.
I agree that MPs shouldn’t be standing up in Parliament calling others scum, no matter what side of the debate they are on.
I do agree with Rayner though.
