Esther McVey has just been owned by mental health charity Mind. People won’t take the lies any more
Esther McVey: She’ll lie to Parliament so you know she’ll lie to anybody else.
Conservatives like Esther McVey still haven’t got the message that we can tell when they are lying.
And I’m not referring to that old joke about their lips moving.
This time it was the mental health charity Mind that gave the game away, after Work and Pensions Secretary Esther McVey referred to that organisation in Parliament.
Here’s the Twitter thread the charity wrote the following day:
Yesterday the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions @EstherMcVey1 mentioned us in a list of organisations who had recognised and welcomed changes to #UniversalCredit. We thought it was important to set the record straight. pic.twitter.com/ATZqKqLHzO

Here’s what we said in response to the budget last week > https://t.co/wHlCxdl9Z9 pic.twitter.com/xMgNFKqhNi

We remain clear that new #UniversalCredit regulations don't go far enough. We won't stop campaigning until we get a benefits system that really works for people with mental health problems.
— Mind (@MindCharity) November 6, 2018
The charity concluded: “We need MPs to vote against these regulations which create a real risk for people with mental health problems. And we need as many people as possible to join us. Find out more about the campaign here > bit.ly/2zvDFlB
Ms McVey is currently embroiled in a scandal over her apparent involvement in a dodgy-looking political campaigning organisation, as secretary. She denies any knowledge of it…
But who can believe her when she lies so blatantly – and stupidly – in Parliament?
That’s still an offence for which she should be expelled, by the way.
As for Mind: There’s a “curry and quiz” night at a local cafe on Friday. I think I’ll go along.
That organisation has earned our support, I think.

She is either duplicitous or naive but you’ve got to admit she’s a bonny lass.
Er… No.
Should have gone to spec savers. If you think she’s bonny.lol
bonny no duplicitous or naïve no, horrible yes it was the only thing that I could think that was the opposite of bonny, a liar yes, awful yes,fake yes, unfit yes, a minister your having a laugh, perhaps she needs to join that loud mouth from Shipley that thinks whip’s don’t hurt horses and the pair of them could have a sponsored whipping by jockeys, then they could be useful, polish her nails tells so many lies she does not no what truth is, I t has become normalised behaviour, even Pinnochio cannot keep up and that is saying something
If she’s so ‘naive’, then how come she constantly comes across as a stern school matron lecturing a bunch of unruly imbecile schoolkids? ‘You into the dominatrix side, or what? Should’a gone to Specsavers!
McVey is just another extremely corrupt and nasty Tory – liars frauds and cheats the lot of them.
I totally agree 👹
Has an official complaint been made about it?
To be a good liar one has to have a bloody good memory . . .. unlike Patric Star (Spongebob) Thanks for all the good work you’ve done Mr Mike
McVey is from the same stable of horrible human beings?! as the lovable Katie Hopkins
Who?
Listening to heartless women like Esther McVey I can’t help thinking their lies will appeal to unpleasant men who four hundred years ago would have denounced them as witches.
