Asked about Banksy's artwork, Mr Cleverly criticises what he perceived as "joking and celebrating about criminal actions which cost lives".

    We got 2% of our gas from Russia-and zero of anything from Ukraine- so I’m sick of hearing that as an excuse for corporate profits rocketing as prices rose.
  • @Rancid-wd3ty
    Hopefully the last time i ever see not so Cleverley and his band of crooks ever again.
  • @toriesout8692
    That’s the beauty of democracy and civil rights, Cleverly. People can celebrate that art work and be against the government and your party.
  • 14 wasted years. The UK has gone backwards under the Tories and their Brexit disaster. Can't blame the pandemic.
  • @Godmil
    So despite having a huge majority in parliament, it's the oppositions fault for the tories not being able to fix anything?
  • @nedlowe8344
    Who's been in power for the past 14 years, and who's therefore responsible for the immigration policies threatening the lives of asylum seekers? The Tories ought to be deported to Rwanda.
  • The resentment in the eyes of this minister.... he is lost and he knows it.... Doomed!!
  • @dondraper2488
    I wonder how Banksy would feel when the scores of Doctors and Engineers rocked up to the gated community he lives in….
  • ‘’Covid, the war in Ukraine’’, Cleverly doesn’t mention Brexit.

    The ties always come off when they want your vote. Strange
  • @Charlizzie
    Cannot wait for Braintree to vote him out.
  • Banksy reminds folk that the boat people are real people and not the caricatures they are portrayed as.
  • Covid was 4 years ago, can we not move on abd do wgat is best fir UK
  • @evie1915
    Banksy was making a political statement, not laughing at the crossings. He is so out of touch. Vote him out with the rest. Come voters UK expects!
