Tory Right Wing MP David Nuttall Shows His Contempt Towards Those on Benefits

David Nuttall MP

David Nuttall MP heckled Mhairi Black MP during her Private Members Bill on the 02 December 2016. A Bill which sort to amend the way sanctions are being administered by Jobcentre Plus. Black is the current 'Baby of the House' as the youngest member in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. When elected in May 2015, she was 20 years and 237 days old, making her the youngest MP elected to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom since at least the Reform Act of 1832, replacing James Dickson who was 21 years and 67 days old when elected in 1880.

Nuttall was criticised after the debate for implying that those who receive unemployment benefits are 'scared of getting a job'. His response was in opposition to the SNP who had been pushing against benefit sanctions, that have been responsible for the deaths of claimants in a number of high profile cases.

Black was heckled in the Commons by Nuttall when she referenced Loach's recent film I, Daniel Blake as part of her speech. Conservative MP David Nuttall shouted "it's fiction" before leaving the chamber.

So who is David Nuttall MP and what other views does he share? 

David Nuttall is the MP for Bury North, having won his seat in the House of Commons at the 2010 general election. He currently holds the seat by a slim margin. 

According to Wikipedia - Nuttall made his maiden speech on 10 June 2010 during a debate on "Tackling Poverty in the UK".

Nuttall's first question in the House of Commons attracted some local comment when, in the week that cuts in spending and public sector job cuts were announced, Nuttall chose to express regret over the freezing of the spending on the civil list and implications for the Queen's diamond jubilee. The Bury Times carried several letters protesting his stance.

In 2013 Nuttall was one of four MPs who camped outside Parliament in a move to facilitate parliamentary debate on what they called an "Alternative Queen's Speech"—an attempt to show what a future Conservative government might deliver. Some 42 policies were listed including reintroduction of the death penalty and conscription, privatising the BBC, banning the burka in public places and preparation to leave the European Union.

Other views that Nuttall holds:

• Generally voted against equal gay rights
• Consistently voted against smoking bans
• Almost always voted against allowing marriage between two people of same sex
• Generally voted against laws to promote equality and human rights
• Consistently voted against allowing terminally ill people to be given assistance to end their life
