How can a shadow works and pensions minister appear to know so little about the subject.

I sometimes wonder if politicians are really that ignorant. Are they genuinely that useless (I'm sure some are) or is selective amnesia a bit more widespread when the opportunity to score cheap points, do a bit of grandstanding and get in the news comes along.

No doubt she is also against equality and also other people paying ha.

Because if she, and her colleagues, were any good she wouldn't be a shadow minister.

Yes - that's excellent. Though apparently the petition was not really the petition .... kinda like it was put up there on false pretences and it seems the Pension Committee has been had ... as as those MP's debating a petition that never was ... apparently.
