  1. They’ll never stop painting themselves as victims. Zero personal repsonsibility.

  2. Sour grapes much? I’m sure he liked the £85k salary + expenses.

    His performance on SkyNews last night was just embarrassing.

  3. “Ungrateful plebs didn’t see my sheer brilliance”. I watched this part of the coverage, thought it was a funny little tantrum from a sore loser.

  4. If it was so shit why did he run again? Losers just upset he lost his seat and easy money haha

  5. I understand the hate, but mental health issues among politicians is high and unspoken.

    I know some will go into politics to make a difference but once there they have to tow the party line.

    I don’t like Tories or Grant Shaps but the poor bastard was wheeled out in the media rounds all the time to get a complete battering. Behind closed doors he probably wants to scream,

    Don’t get me wrong. I despise the Tories.But I imagine the stress is quite high. 

    Career politicians have yo eat shit, hopefully with the hope of the promise land after they get the boot or resign.

    Thank fuck they are out.

  6. one of the most prominent pro-Brexiters. good riddance.

  7. Prick took no responsibility on the BBC last night for the damage he and his Brexit squad did.

  8. I wouldn’t do their job for their salary. Hell of a stressful job, public facing with people might literally kill you, having to follow party lines, when they conflict with your own views, then have people shout at you because of your ‘voting record’. Essentially committing your life to a job too.

    Not a chance for £90K

  9. He was interviewed on the BBC and he of the first things he said was something like “Labour will be a disaster”. They might be. But I still had to stop myself throwing shit at my telly.

    Do you have amnesia? The lack of self-awareness and humility is utterly breathtaking and psychopathic in its unwavering persistence amongst these people.

    You were one of the architects of Brexit. You were part of a government that has left the country where it is right now – a shit show. You voted for Liz Truss to be PM FFS!

    Good riddance.

  10. Lol he’s so full of shit, you could see it on his face last night when he was being interviewed that he was seething over losing his seat, he acted incredibly petulant in his replies.

    Also, if you hate being an MP so much, why would you stay in the same seat for 14 years AND run again?

  11. No mate. You lost because you are funny. Sorry, you are a fanny.

  12. I thought he was a *Hard-Man*? Aren’t *Hard-Men* able to deal with difficult situations without it bothering them? I though thats why they are *Hard-Men*?

  13. Lol so his entire campaign was a lie then. Seems like a fitting end to a Tory candidate tbh.

  14. I would like to refer the public to the words of Krisnan Guru Murthy –

  15. It is not a job, it is a position of service, you are to represent your constituents, not your party.

  16. What an odious ghoul. Not a single redeeming quality. Glad he’s gone. Great to have competent, sensible and responsible adults back in power

  17. I hope they find the vicious evil bastards that forced this man to stand repeatedly. Poor sod.

  18. Wasn’t he positioning himself as leader yesterday or a few days ago?

  19. He was on Sky News last night, and the sheer arrogance he gave off was cringe-inducing. He knew he was going to lose, but it wasn’t his fault.

    He’d been let down by the voters, the party, the economy, COVID… everyone and everything except his own vacuous self. But he was happy about it, *he’d got his life back*, but was still keen to blame everyone and everything else for *getting his life back*, and was convinced everyone and everything else will regret that *he got his life back.*

  20. In the meantime he was instrumental in screwing generations of Brits by insisting on the most horrendous deal with the EU. This morning he admitted he did so just to avoid splitting the Tories and “to save Britain from Corbyn”… absolute “[insert noun]’

  21. “You’re actually ugly and I didn’t even want to date you anyway”, that’s what you sound like Stephen.

  22. It’s dreadful when you’re on the outside looking in. It’s like being jilted at the altar insofar as you will say anything to make yourself feel better and the pain go away.

  23. Ain’t this the same Steve baker who said he was keen on the leadership after the election??

  25. This cunt got in, joined the ERG, made the country shitter and now cries about it. Fuck him. Fuck his whole family. Fuck everything he does in the future. I hope his dick falls off.

  26. I hope i never need to hear from Steve Baker again now for the rest of my life. Bon voyage.

  27. Well, good riddance to Steve Baker. He has left our country worse off.

  28. Sounds like the respond a stroppy teenager would have after being told they can’t have something

  29. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

  30. He posted a video yesterday on twitter pleading for votes. Filthy liar.

  31. Now he can fuck off some where on his boat and stop being a pest

  32. Absolutely no one here watched the clip, he was talking about death threats, acid attack threats, people telling him they would hang him….

    All for 70k

    Yeah , I I wouldn’t want it either

  33. Coincidentally, he *did* a dreadful job.

    Good riddance. Hope his “freedom” involves trying to make amends. 

  34. Cue, one long gravy train of never ending consultancy roles for hundreds of thousands of pounds. My heart bleeds for this prick.

  35. Yeah £86K a year plus expenses and ability to work multiple other paid jobs even David Lammy was on £220K in his second job.

    No doubt he’ll enjoy spending his taxpayer funded pension now that hes no longer there.

    Maybe MP’s should be on minimum wage with no second jobs just to focus their attention.

  36. Getting 91k a year, plus pension plus travel expenses paid, plus a lot of time off and many other perks and he’s bitching while people struggle to pay for their rent.

  37. We’re as happy you’re gone as you are you lost it seems.
    I think you’re full of shit though because if you hated it enough to think thank god you could have just not stood.
    Another full of shite backstabbing self serving nose in the trough still gadlighting

  38. Famously once described a potential Brexit deal as catastrophic… and then moments later said politicians should never use the word catastrophe except for in events of huge loss of life.

    Should of just stood down you thick fuck.

  39. He does realise he could have stepped down at any time?

  40. self described brexit hardman steve baker ladies and gentleman

  41. He actually performed really very well in his ‘interview’ with Ed Balls (where Balls just tries to goad him and doesn’t seem to realise that stuff that happened more than a few years ago can play a role in politics today). He goes after both Ed Balls and George Osbourne and their ignorance surrounding money policy and its effect on ordinary people. It’s well worth watching: https://x.com/GMB/status/1809114873894228261

  42. They announced his chances of him winning his seat live on BBC last night shortly after the Exit Poll, while he was on it. He looked visibly relieved when they said he had a less than 1% of winning.

  43. Big suprise, wanted all the power without none of the responsibility, filled his pockets on the back of the tax payer, now gets to move on to a corperate job doing FA as a thank you for the ruins he leaves the country in.

    Shits like these are exactly why the tories never stood a chance at this election, Thank god he’s gone.
