the tory mp, brendon clarke smith , who's the brendon clarke smith, who's the mp for bassetlaw, he basicallythese people simply need to learn how to budget and prioritise highs. what are you saying to that? so it's interesting. it's on the facebook. it's one of those classic social media who has in which, you know , tory mp was which, you know, tory mp was monstered for saying something very sort of tory ish in his way. but then look at the what he's replying for you he's replying to for you effectively is saying its effectively is saying in its wording implying that wording almost implying that firefighters , if they're living firefighters, if they're living on 30,000 and up having to go foodbanks. you know, i've no doubt that some will do and have but not all of them i would wager. so that's where it's kind of almost overly generalist. and so he's pushed on to push back saying that the thrift is of value. yeah. and was the value. yeah. and that was the point that he was making was point that he was making he was actually aiming he was actually aiming for. he was basically there basically s
