The Labour Government

Watching Labour introducing an updated code of conduct motion.

Some Tories and Nigel won't be happy with regards to conflict of interests involving 2nd jobs and parliamentary behaviour.

So if the new non-fascist Tory party puts forward an amendment to bring back Sure Start, and Labour votes against, that means that closing the Sure Start programme in 2011 was a Labour policy not a Tory/LibDem policy?

It would mean keeping them closed is Labour’s policy at that point in time.

Having a stonking majority and being in power allows you to undo all the bad things you said the previous government did. Of course they can’t wave a magic wand and undo everything (and I’ve been clear to say their reasoning is irrelevant to the point) but to pretend this isn’t current Labour policy is sticking the proverbial head in the sand and coming across as far too invested in the minutiae.

This does not mean it will still be Labour policy next year. It’s called being the government.

Amazing how he’s reinvented himself since he was released from prison.

My children are grown up so I don’t know the back story to this ? as getting involved over two child benefit, I thought it meant family allowance though until today. Who went to prison and who has reinvented himself ? please

30p Lee kicking off about the motion 'not being fair.'

I'm shocked.

Tice now getting his TikTok sound bite in.

Deputy speaker bollocked him for his language towards Lucy Powell and reminded all responses go through the chair.

Proving the point in the motion about more respect in the chamber.

So, are Labour trying to put a blocker on lobbiests or just dodgy second jobs?

I'm trying to understand the motion. The debate currently is about select committees make up. Anderson and Tice aren't allowed on them because they only have 5 MPs.

Powell mentioned second jobs and payments that could be interpreted as 'conflicts of duty.'

A 3 month consultation on the changes before being out to the vote.

"A modernisation of parliament that proves MPs are here to serve the country over their own politics."

The Party for Lee's Overlords' Plutocracy.
Or PLOP for short.

Someone thought it would be fun to pretend that sociologist Stuart Hall (quoted in a post) was Stuart Hall the BBC paedophile.

And no massive publicity. Good on them.

Who was it asking me for an example of someone from Labour that cares…

You use it politically, I’ll await Labour sorting it out.

Sad fuck!

I'm sure that's a comfort to them.

Don't really think you understand the theatrical politics in play here and yes the results are distasteful but Labour didn't put in in the manifesto. Unlike what the Tories and others in the Labour Party have said there is NO cap on child benefits - if you have six kids you do get Child Benefit ( Family Allowance) on every kid. The cap applies to things like UC.

If it wasn't in the Kings Speech Labour could not implement it right away - if its a Scot Nat amendment they can't get it through because its a Scot Nat looking decision and looks weak. When Parliament comes back in October and the issue an Autumn Statement and announce it then. They will have the credibility of saying that they have looked at the books and so have been able to cost the introduction and its their decisions they were not bounced into it by another Party or rebels.
