Dawn Butler MP

Traditions trump ethics in HoC Top Trumps
A game played by c**ts (mostly)

Well done, Dawn.


I think it was Rahena (sp) Khan (MP and Dr) who got a ticking off from Whately - watch your tone kinda vibe for change.
In other words... how dare you speak of how shit of a job I'm doing. My reputation is far more important than other people's lives.

God I hate them all.

Its ok God hates them all too

Another lying c**t is that Victoria Prentis who stood up in Parliament and said "I was no Brexiteer..."

This would suggest otherwise, no?

It’s a stupid and infantile narrative to label all politicians as liars or scum. They aren’t. There are plenty who do it for the right reasons, to improve the lives of their constituents and to improve the country. There always have been and that includes members of all parties.

What has never happened before is that we have so many dishonest and immoral politicians in the cabinet and the government. They are there because of Brexit and it was Brexit that normalised, legitimised and crystallised the deceit.

It is a weird rule that they cant say he lied but they can say he mislead the house , we all know what that means !

The convention is that MPs don't lie. But the convention is also that ministers who have unintentionally misled the House come back to correct the record (i.e. take the opportunity to say that what was said previously was not true). One MP has been thrown out for breaking one convention, but there is no sanction against a minister who has misled the House but will not come back to correct the record. So we need a new convention that ministers who have misled the House but will not put it right can be called out as the liars they are / he is.

Or at the least a mechanism whereby if a member says a minister misled the House, the Speaker can directly ask (e.g.) "You said this at last week's PMQ and it has been suggested that this was not an accurate statement; following a formal request by the member from ...., I ask the Prime Minister, 'Was that statement true?'"

That’s the point that we are all overlooking in this discussion. She hasn’t accused him of being a liar. Everyone knows he is. She’s accused him of being the prime minister and repeatedly lying to the house and not correcting the record. In any other time any that would have been enough for him to have to resign.

Meanwhile Rees mogg called Labour the party of human traffickers and the lib dems the yellow peril and the speaker does nothing.

Well the first one has some foundation but the Lib Dem’s aren’t significant enough to be a peril to anybody.
