This magnificent own of Helen Whately was so epic it was visible from space

by Glasgow Report
in Politics



You will probably already be familiar with the work of Helen Whateley, the Conservative MP who is no stranger to tying herself in knots.

We mention her today after she appeared on the BBC’s Politics Live, in her current role as shadow work and pensions secretary, where she made some particularly bold claims about the state the Tories left the nation in after 14 years of rule.

And fortunately for us cabinet minister Peter Kyle was on hand to correct her, and he did so in magnificent fashion.

So epic they enjoyed watching that from the ISS.

And this freeze frame, highlighted by the estimable @implausibleblog, was especially brilliant.

Left: Helen Whately, “We handed over to Labour much lower debt than we had inherited”

Right: Peter Kyle, “There are facts in public debate.. Debt was £800 billion in 2010, it was £2.6 trillion in 2024” pic.twitter.com/VcARb9gOW8

Boom.

That freeze frame is amazing

And just a few of the things people said about it.

1.

I don’t know why she wants to be an MP. It’s consistently a humiliating process for her.

You just know that somewhere there is a Malcolm Tucker that makes her cry every time she does one of these interviews. It’s beyond cringe now.

5.

Not the first time she’s got her figures completely wrong.

— Beverley Parker (@bevelynnparker) November 27, 2024

6.

She also lied about the UK being the fastest growing G7 economy under the Tories when it clearly wasn’t.

She’s painfully out of her depth and Peter Kyle looked on disdainfully.

Please @BBCPolitics have Helen Whately on every week
The truth in figures really don’t matter Helen spouts Ridiculous non factual information#sameoldtories
