A fundamental dividing line between the Conservatives and the left is on the issue of what the best route out of poverty is. We believe it's work not welfare. Bridget Phillipson and Labour disagree. So much so, that I got 'the hand' twice yesterday.

@Conservatives The patronising bitch! She couldn't wait to shut him up and deliver her Chairman Mao speel

@Conservatives The best way to bring kids out of poverty is lower household bills and a bring the cost of living down!

@Conservatives I first saw her showing her true colours on TV during the May 25 local elections. Rude, unintelligent, arrogant, petulant & sulky. Deeply unpleasant woman, & that’s before you consider her fundamental lack of competence & honesty.

@Conservatives Trying to get some sense into Phillipson is like talking to a wall. She can’t see past her own delusions. She also doesn’t appear to understand that you can never solve ‘relative’ poverty. We need a new government and fast!

@Conservatives Well done Bridget is obsessed with giving tax payers money away and thinks things are “free” You can’t lift kids out of poverty by giving parents handouts, if anything it makes it more likely they won’t work in the future thus more poverty

@Conservatives Labour like to shut people up who don’t agree with them.

@Conservatives She’s too easy to rattle and so rude. The hand and the facial expressions say it all really.

@Conservatives She really is dreadful.

@Conservatives Yet you managed to put people into poverty than any Government since before WW2.

@Conservatives She's never had a job that wasn't funded by the taxpayer, so why would she understand?

@Conservatives But poverty went up under Conservatives!

@Conservatives Is it me or does anybody else hate the superior complex this woman has . She treats any kind of disagreement with utter distain

@Conservatives Well said Nigel,she was totally rattled there.🤣👍

@Conservatives The poverty that this Govt is lifting people out of is simply on paper. A definition of poverty that is related to average incomes not lived experience.

@Conservatives Phillipson has only ever worked in the public sector/not for profit sector. No understanding of how wealth creation really works. I always get the impression that her political motivations are less driven by an ideology or political conviction and more driven by grudge and hate

@Conservatives This woman is vile from head to toe

@Conservatives Patronising retard that is Phillipson. You don't be diplomatic & conform to political norms, you call them out as the shit of humanity that they are. Millei showed the way. Don't treat them decently, they're not decent people.

@Conservatives Another ignorant Tory wo thinks constantly interrupting someone when they are speaking is the way to go.

@Conservatives Liar. Your leader begrudges people on the minimum wage a payrise, and wants to scrap emeployment rightsm Tories are the enemy of workers

@Conservatives It’s also about definition of what poverty is. They are classing some people in poverty who are clearly not. Equally Bridget Phillipson loves a freebie - look at free school meals for all incl. wealthy state school kids instead of targeting more help at those that really need it.

@Conservatives You were in power for 14 years when number of uk citizens in poverty increased - numbnuts

@Conservatives Fuck off.....14 years of unnecessary austerity. ....tit.

, you come across as arrogant & quite nasty. You're failing our education system. Teachers & parents don't like you!! You have underfunded breakfast clubs & Teachers' pay awards, which is putting pressure on already tight School budgets. Teachers are being told to take up the slack!!!

@Conservatives What would a Tory know about ending poverty?

@Conservatives You get the hand because you talk over people: you are rude. You also use the age-old tactic of divide and conquer. I suggest you catch up More or Less on @BBCRadio4 which tells the true story on benefits.

@Conservatives Biggest fall in living standards on record part of the plan too?

@Conservatives You got the "hand"? The whole while you're sat there wanking the air.

@Conservatives How much more patronising.. or clueless could you get? No wonder we're in a mess..what price the next u turn?

@Conservatives She is so patronising. Her economics are lunacy so she resorts to childish behaviour

@Conservatives You wiped the floor with her and her only defence was her giving you the hand. I particularly applaud your handling lighting the hypocrisy of her ‘caring about women.’

@Conservatives Almost 90 percent of those who are receiving more on child benefits are non working immigrants having large families is that fair.

@Conservatives Regrettably, the ideology of the left is to create dependency to guarantee votes 🤦‍♂️

@Conservatives These idiots that vote Labour still haven't grasped it's in Labours interests tk keep you poor and dependant on the state.........

@Conservatives She has zero idea about business

@Conservatives she knows we are struggling with the cost of living..she knows we struggle to buy shopping she knows we struggle to pay our energy bills..how..we pay all her and her cohorts bills..but ..she knows..
