MPs Staff

I've dealt with the offices of several MPs and their staff. They don't inspire confidence. The four offices varied from plain abusive through snide to just idiotic. They seem to have got the job based on a shared ideology, not their ability to interact with the public.

One of them whose personal behaviour was snide/ borderline abusive was Chris Lloyd, who worked for Louise Ellman. In a court case, I was involved in had statements from Lloyd, the mild-mannered solicitor developed a loathing for Lloyd based purely on his victim statement. In the end, the CPS seems to have developed a similar opinion of Lloyd and the other staff members, leading to their removal from the case as victims.

The MP went out of their way to ensure that their statements never ended up in court and so they could not be cross-examined in public.

Ellman was the chairperson of the Transport Select Committee. When Lloyd left Ellaman's office, he secured a nice gig working for Network Rail. I wonder what Network Rail thought it was getting from someone with a Politics with Law degree in a PR position. Though perhaps the qualification wasn't the important thing. 

It seems that Lloyd is back on the campaign trail. See "Greenwich councillor Chris Lloyd misses out in the race to be Westminster candidate".

 

 

But what of the present collection, the post-2019 group? They don't seem to be an improvement. If anything, they are more uniform in their abysmal attitude. This time though, it is streaked through with ideology. Don't expect anything from them on behalf of the working class. They only see the working class as the foot soldiers of their army. The patronising and paternalistic nature of the hard left is alive and kicking in L8.
