Sorry, but there’s confusion here about the distinction between Parliament and Government.
A Member of Parliament is only a member of the government if he/she holds a ministerial post in the current executive, which is formed by the largest party in Parliament. All other ordinary MPs (600+ of them) are no more part of government than ordinary members of the House of Representatives are part of the current US government. In this case, it’s simply a private individual making publicity about a pet cause.
Paula Sheriff is a Labour MP, not a member of the ruling Conservative Party, so is miles away from government. Because she happens to be an MP she gets the attention of the media. But it’s not Government business, not even Parliamentary business.
Gillette Fusion blades are $27.75 for 12 blades.

I use the blades for about a month and use Schick Hydro Sensitive Skin Shave Gel.

Clean the blade good after each use.
They cost .10 to make I bet.

'Ordinary' members of the US House of Representatives are indeed part of the current US government.
From http://www.house.gov/content/learn/ for example, As per the Constitution, the U.S. House of Representatives makes and passes federal laws. The House is one of Congress’s two chambers (the other is the U.S. Senate), and part of the federal government’s legislative branch."
Instead, you are attempting, unsuccessfully, to argue that only "the Executive Branch" of the US government is, colloquially, "the government". You are also claiming that the MP is not part of 'the UK Government', but that was not at all the intent or the actual substance of the discussion here. Rather, a colloquial usage of 'small g' government is what is going on here. Neither I nor SoFloFreeper capitalized the 'G' as in' Government'.
Because she happens to be an MP she gets the attention of the media. But it’s not Government business, not even Parliamentary business.
Nobody claimed that this occurred as "Government business" or "Parliamentary business". Rather, the claim was "government involvement" which is surely what we see here.
Because they’ll pay it. You charge as much as the market can bare. Men are a lot more likely to decide that’s too much and look elsewhere than women. So women’s versions of things are more expensive.
you are picking alleged pepper from the bird seed.
You are just plain wrong and are in an Obamaesque fashion going to extreme lengths to try to prove otherwise
Bzzzzt.
Wrong answer.
Reading is fundamental.
Try it - you’ll like it.
I’ve been using Bic razors about as long as I can remember. Used to buy them for about a dollar a bag.
You use Bic? I don't know, sounds kind of Nancyboy to me.
Why don't you shave like a man?
Just don't start wearing a fur coat and carrying a purse, I mean, European men's hand bag.
Bet you don’t even own an axe
Bet you don’t even own an axe
I have an axe and a hoe.
Oh no! Somebody stole his European Carry-All!!!
[ after it was found to charge twice as much for pink disposable twin-blade razors as blue ones. ]
I suspect the Russians had involvement here. We don’t have any proof but trust me, you just know they did it. /liberal logic
I have that also
What do you use for shaving cream?
I use Taylor of Old Bond Street Eaton College and Proraso Green.
Ever seen the Burma shave signs?
Yup!
That’s what I’m talking about! LOL!
