Angie UK Prime Minister Rachel Reeves The Labour Party UK House of Commons If it lasts the term, every aspect of our lives will be regulated into paralysing,arse covering inertia. They are not risk takers and show zero imagination. A bunch of sixth form mediocrities with all the leadership acumen of the head prefect.

FFS. There isn't one bloody problem - political, cultural, economic, social - that this Labour Gov doesn't think the answer is to shut down debate. Their dull, technocratic mantra -on repeat- is always 'you can't say that'. They really are censorious, ghoulish scoundrels.

Nikki da Costa This bill came out of nowhere and is seemingly being forced through without due scrutiny. For those reasons, it must be stopped. It's far too important.

What Sean Woodcock hints at but is too decent to say explicitly is that Kim Leadbeater and her gang are using every dirty whips' trick in the book to get this over the line; exhausting opponents into submission, wearing them out by whizzing through clauses at breakneck speed etc

In PMQs on Wednesday I was so shocked by Keir Starmer’s lies and obfuscation I went through the record and found he told 25 porkies in only 30 minutes. A thread below, starting with the most glaring example. hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025-0…

💥MUST WATCH: Kim Leadbeater promised her Bill would have the “strictest safeguards anywhere in the world”. But at Committee Stage, which has just ended, over 300 amendments that would have protected vulnerable people & prevented abuses were REJECTED. Here are just some of them:

JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED!! There's been a local scumbag called Cal going round town breaking into houses, but the police have been unable nick him. He was breaking in and then he’d put house bricks in peoples washing machines and turned them on damaging it beyond repair, then he

Rachel Reeves The Guardian Hi Rachel, so far today I’ve read a post about a local business owner who doesn’t know how they’re going to manage and had a text from a friend saying she’s being made redundant, all our bills go up today and food inflation is becoming unmanageable, please don’t try and gaslight

Musing that the PM will think about the economic effects of the Trump tariffs as a serendipitous opportunity to be more relaxed about fiscal rules and get him off the hook.

Sarah Jones MP You two-faced sanctimonious, pompous disgrace, YOU and your Government are wholly responsible for the closure of one steelworks and the possible closure of another; the cancellation of our coal mining industry; the cancellation of our fossil fuel industries and the biggest CON

Amendment defeated 279 v 243. Looks like there will be no hospice, nor care home, where you can be certain ending the life of the terminally ill will not be suggested nor normalised.

The great and the good won't acknowledge it, but there is a new divide in British politics, far more profound than Brexit. It cuts the parties more or less down the middle. It splits experts, colleagues and families. It separates individual MPs based on their core understanding

sandieshoes 🇬🇧 I know I’ve said this on other posts, but yet again, Peter Hitchens & David Starkey both warned of this. Both said Labour would outsource everything from Westminster so no blame would be put on them. They also said eventually Labour want rid of Westminster altogether 🤔

The Justice Secretary is right and she would know. All her officials can tell her is that it’s “workable” not that it’s safe. And she knows if MPs sign it off, the very long list of deeply controversial decisions the Labour govt will be on the hook for, vote after vote for years
