They’re in such a mess over this and it’s all of their own making
Why is it that you can get chucked out the commons for calling the PM a liar (which is a fact), but are allowed to say people on the opposite benches defend murderers and paedophiles and not get pulled up on it?
Absolutely and in fact I think it needs to go further. All the opposition parties need to call it out and if that results in them being excluded so be it.It's a disgrace, and I honestly don't know why the Labour party don't fight fire with fire.
It's obvious that parliamentary convention isn't being adhered to in any sense by the Conservative party, so why not start playing by the same rules?
Labour MPs should start calling out the obvious lies by Johnson and Patel, and call them what they are - liars.
They should then refuse to withdraw and also refuse to accept any suspension from Parliament. What could actually be done? I'm not sure there's any actual law that could compel them to leave or to be removed by force. Even if there was standing against it would draw attention to what's going on.
They need, right now, to highlight that government by 'convention' is broken because there is no objective legal process to punish MPs or Ministers who openly and obviously lie to parliament (and in effect, to us).
Until there is, it's time to stop playing the Tory's game where they can say whatever they like and the speaker just accepts it.
There's never been a greater need for a written constitution with legally enforceable standards for holding public office. Government by 'convention' doesn't work when the country is in the hands of the shameless and the corrupt.
How can 'Dislikeable' be a criterion except in a popularity contest?

Yes but CorbynClaiming to be the party of law and order is just absurd.

Or if you are a Corbyn fan... yes but StarmerYes but Corbyn
I agree, but for ll those that desire change there will be those that fiercely oppose it, and often do so more vociferously and loudly. This puts those in power off making change. in some instances the interests of the rich and powerful are protected due to pressure. Not to mention there are usually a large number of middle-aged people who will probably be a bit behind the times.Massive change doesn’t happen in Parliament. It happens in the public. Parliament is always a step behind. Look at gay marriage, long hard campaign to change peoples minds at which point laws had to be changed.
Lot harder to do that with economics though. So you generally have to get elected on some broad strokes then make incremental steps. Thatcher is probably the best mode for large scale economic change, but it’s a lot easier to rip things down than build them up.

No desire to do it or pressure on them when you have people like this in the media that embolden others to vote for them….Could go after the billions of pounds in Covid relief fraud, or the billions of pounds in dodgy PPE supplied by their mates.
...Or you could ease the cost of living crisis by putting nearly 100k people out of work and fucking them and their families over.
Hmm, difficult choice.

That's disgusting. What did the Speaker do about it?

Thanks that's a really interesting article.Really interesting piece on authenticity in politicians.
Fucking Plum
Weird how the computer system had no issue with removing the universal credit uplift or increasing tax.Can't increase benefits because 'computer says no'
Fuck sake. Why are these cunts so incapable of reading the room?
Major cost of living crisis, people are literally struggling to put food on the table and excuses/justifications include:
Can't increase benefits because 'computer says no'
Poor people just need to learn how to cook
Can't enforce a windfall tax on energy companies because they don't want us to
Even if any of those are true, even if that's what they think in private, don't say it out loud for fuck sake
The cunts have subsidised bar/restaurant in Westminster. Then they claim expenses for subsistence.No desire to do it or pressure on them when you have people like this in the media that embolden others to vote for them….
