Why was Keir Starmer joking about colourful lanyards in PMQs? #shorts
colorful lanyards why was K dama making a joke about colorful lanyards in pmqs today so I was good to see the minister for common sense immediately take up that mantle by announcing a vital Crackdown on the gravest of threats colorful lanyards well the conservative government’s Common Sense Minister actually banned multicolored lanyards from the Civil Service this week as part of a new series of measures for a Tory War on woke working in the civil service is all about leaving your political views at the building entrance trying to introduce them by the back door via lanyards should not happen while the minister did not specifically mention rainbow lanyards that’s the preferred colorway used to those supporting LGBT plus issues and that has annoyed many Tory MPS and become symbolic of in their words leftwing bias in the Civil Service

Good for him! We have all had of your woke nonsense!
Is a lanyard with swastikas on just a lanyard with lines?
Symbols express political views and it is right to ban them all in the civil service as a matter of principle. It appears Starmer doesn't do principles though.
The only disadvantage here is if you happen to be talking to a staffer that you don't know, you can pick up on their bias without a single word.
How can labour claim to support LGBT issues and also desire open borders with total unchecked immigration…
My rainbow lanyard always has a thick coating of Vaseline
I say keep them so i can immediately see which people to actively avoid and discount literally anything they say or do.

Get a grip…..he's right woke
Good 👍 if only there was a minister for common sense
Defund the police starting with their pension!

Getting rid of woke ideology is worth doing.
It’s a good thing less the civil service can represent their views less they Mendel with the laws.
You will own nothing and be happy. You will think nothing, and be silent.
You will say nothing, and be grateful. You will be Woke, but asleep.
Why are they all 5ft it baffles me😂
Rainbow lanyards are just another indicator of which ideological cult someone belongs to. A great way to know who to avoid, but also monumentally effective at bringing companies, healthcare, emergency services, and, yes, the civil service into disrepute.
I'm gay. Your rainbow and alphabet cult is toxic to people like me.
