Most (though not all) of the arrangements were decided by the Gordon Brown government.


Probably, as you say, to piss off Galloway. And Dennis Skinner.

UKIP is the reason why universal suffrage isn't always to be celebrated.


A party with no policies or competence that gets a tick for government from 15% of the population.


I do them the favour of refusing to remember their names, Louisa does otherwise it seems.

It's not just religion, it's testosterone. MT had both as does TB.


A short true story.

An American friend of mine lives on her own on an island. When she was 98, she was taken poorly and taken to the mainland. They asked her what day it was, where she thought she was, and who was the President.

She got the first two, and refused to answer the third.

Getting very concerned for her mental health they kept asking her.

Finally, she yelled out, "Don't make me name that son of a bitch". (It was Geroge Dubbya).

She's about 101 now and doing fine.

Didn't see Tone today but he converted to catholicism when he was no longer PM. I felt this was a very similar move to Prunella Scales and Timothy West nailing their red colours to the mast as soon as their youngest left Alleyn's.

Whichever political party dares to withdraw tax payer funding from faith schools will get my vote- no other questions asked.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
