I don& #39;t usually do threads but the quotes in this article have made me really angry so saddle up

First of all, if you don& #39;t like the people you represent, please do not become an MP https://twitter.com/JAHeale/status/1254160664949665794">https://twitter.com/JAHeale/s...

If you are elected, your first responsibility is your constituents. Not your party, not your ideology, not your career. Your constituents.

How on earth are Tory voters who need their MP& #39;s help supposed to feel able to call their office if the MP has just said & #39;we want them gone, we know where they live?& #39;

LRM first came to my attention when he grabbed the mace in a Brexit debate- an attention-seeking stunt that inevitably led to him being told to leave the chamber and leave his constituents unrepresented in a crucial debate

He also recently shared the unredacted dossier, showing no care at all for the safety of whistleblowers just because they might be a different faction

And openly advocating for getting rid of people who don& #39;t support your party from your constituency, even going as far to say "we know where they live?" You shouldn& #39;t just lose your frontbench position, you should not even be an MP

This is Danica Roem, one of the US& #39;s first openly trans legislators, being asked to comment on defeating a man who called himself the "chief homophobe"

This is how it is done. We don& #39;t win by going low.
