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

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

      His performance on SkyNews last night was just embarrassing.

      “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. seoras91 on

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

      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.

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

      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

      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.

      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?

    12. Tartan_Samurai on

      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. cmfarsight on

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

    15. OwlCaretaker on

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

    16. Tommy-ctid-mancblue on

      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. Chungaroo22 on

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

    19. faultlessdark on

      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. SP1570 on

      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. Bean-Penis on

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

    22. plawwell on

      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. Mav_Learns_CS on

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

    25. Spiritual-Ad7685 on

      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. Da5ren on

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

    27. Cynical_Classicist on

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

    28. milkyteapls on

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

    30. Underscore_Blues on

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

    32. No-Wind6836 on

      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. jamieliddellthepoet on

      Coincidentally, he *did* a dreadful job.

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

    34. WesternHovercraft400 on

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

    35. weirds0up on

      I’m sure it’s only bad now his nose is out of the troff and he can’t fill his pockets anymore

    36. nellydeeffluent on

      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.

    37. Geoff900 on

      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.

    38. Patski66 on

      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

    39. Zepren7 on

      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.

    42. SojournerInThisVale on

      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

    43. PurahsHero on

      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.

    44. TastyVideo on

      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.

    45. attendingcord on

      Listening to this live it seems like the stress of the last 8 years (self inflicted) may have driven him to the verge of a nervous breakdown. He was all over the place making incoherent arguments about how he was thrilled to lose but that he wanted to be Tory leader out of a sense of duty.

      He seems to have taken his own political failure (in pushing for a policy that was a bag of shite) so badly that he’s managed to convince himself that he is infact brilliant and it’s everyone else who is stupid/ bad at their job.
