I'd agree about Mordant.
And it would be odd if Gove didn't.
I'd agree about Mordant.gove my give one last chance - doubt Francois will get the numbers. You might laugh but I think Penny Mordant will try.
Raab has appeal to tbe right so may try again as well
It's so oddAnd yet despite this being an open secret the party never seems to get scrutinised for it
They should try it.Well Labour won’t even ever elect a female one!
It's so odd
Because Boris has been virtually bottom of Conservative home polls for a very long time now.
The problem with the second chamber, outside of course the elephant in the room of it being unelected, is that it is just another facet for the political parties to fight over. Directly elected people don't work either, just look at the Senate over in America, split across the same party lines.
We do need the checks and measures of a second chamber though to stop bad ideas becoming law.
What to replace it with though is always up for debate.
I like an unelected chamber TBH, I just wouldn’t put the appointment power with the current parties (or rather severely reduce it, you do need some level making experience in there).
But what about a jury service style system. Take people for a year or more on say 150% of their average salary over the last three years or something like that?
I don’t want the quality of the upper house left to random chance.
It pretty much already is, only randomly selected from MPs and rich fuckers.
My preferred system is still to give trade bodies and the like appointments.
I would simply like things like health, education, transport etc in the hands of qualified individuals rather than politicians with short term limits
Problem is tax and therefore budgets will always be the preserve of politicians.
Military rule?Again, perhaps they shouldn’t. I know having no political parties is pure fantasy but they just seem no longer fit for purpose with the challenges now facing us

I don’t see how you can have democracy at all if something as basic and ideological as the size of the state isn’t under democratic control TBH.
I’d like to know what the public are basing Sunak’s ability to be PM on exactly.

Exactly, it’s depressing.Limited information, same as all the others. Confident when delivering speeches and apparently hard worker by all accounts. I’d imagine the furlough scheme that kept millions in work and doing nothing for a majority/all of their salary is the main reason though
The economy has done pretty well considering we are predominantly a service and consumer based/led economy and have had lockdowns to contend with…not to mention B word
Edit - also distanced himself from Johnson

There’s a rumour going around that she’s had elocution lessons to sound more like a pound shop Maggie.Truss , God help us.

Mate he lives upstairs from Boris and is the actual resident of no,10 and is easy to taint.
He also wants to pay for his schemes which weren't his by plunging the UK back into austerity. A Sunak led Tory party losesmost if not all of teh new seats it gained in 2019
The economy has done shite

Grendull in easily confused shocker.I was slightly confused that Mr Starmer conceded you could drink alcohol and share take away meals in a work setting indoors and that’s perfectly within the rules

This Operation Red Meat thing in the Sunday Times has got to be a piss take.
Solve the cost of living crisis by freezing the BBC license fee and get the military to turn back immigrants & refugees in the channel. How stupid do they think voters are?
