I think a load of unelected peers some of whom are hereditary peers blocking a bill that will give greater rights to workers should generate more anger than it has.
The Lords blocked the Employment Right's Bill again last night.
Thanfully on just one point about unfair dismissal...but it's still delaying the WHOLE bill further!
244 to 220.
So who is among the 244?
202 Tories
26 crossbenchers
9 non-affiliated
3 DUP
3 UUP
1 bishop
Look at the names...
1/3

Sorry but this is exactly the gotcha style of questioning that inevitably brings democracy into disarray. Governments can't actually say everything they want about foreign leaders because that is diplomacy. Headline either way. And unscrupulous leaders who don't care are the winners.

Asked about Trump saying European countries will no longer be “viable" thanks to migration, Keir Starmer’s spokesman says the UK is “returning control to our asylum system”

For the record hundreds of people on this website willingly believed a Daily Mail headline because it attacked the current government.
Obviously the Mail headline frames this in the worst way possible. The Lancet article just suggests restaurants offer two portion sizes so people who don’t require so many calories (inc women) don’t have to pay for a massive meal they don’t need.

And here's what Labour's obesity tsar actually wrote, lest you are tempted to believe the Daily Mail headline:

Notes for a leadership contest. Bridget Phillipson owns:
1. VAT on private school fees
2. The end of the two child cap
3. A huge expansion of free school meals
These are huge for Labour members

The Tories say that all parties want to tackle child poverty.
Sadly, it's not true. Only Labour have taken action.
We'll drive the largest reduction of child poverty within a single Parliament.
Deeds, not words.

Yeah like when they raised the national minimum wage. What a bunch of bastards. Or when they banned no fault evictions the scumbags or host of other things.
Has this incarnation of Labour been the industrialized world’s worst center-left governing party of my lifetime? If not they must be in the top five.

Labour’s polling obviously dire, but I do feel like this website encourages a view that it’s entirely down to left-punching, rather than left-punching making a bad situation worse

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

"DST will be removed once a global solution for the reallocation of taxing rights is in place. In the meantime, DST continues to operate as an interim solution, ensuring that digital businesses contribute UK tax in line with the value derived from user-related activities in the UK." Davey is lying.
I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.
That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

So, Zack Polanski was saying that the two child benefit cap has been scrapped due to pressure from the Greens. No, Zack, the Child Poverty Taskforce chaired by Bridget Phillipson, and others, recommended it. It was always going to happen whether you became leader or not.

I had an interesting experience out whilst canvassing. One of the doors I knocked on was a pensioner's, and after a while, she said how her generation was the forgotten generation. Sometimes it really does amaze how someone from that generation sees themselves as part of a forgotten generation.

I suppose I'm a Starmer ultra as I don't think he's history's greatest monster.
I've no idea what these people have said, and probably wouldn't agree with it. But I do think it's easy here to be labelled a "Starmer ultra" who thinks he's a strategic genius if (even though almost all opposition is mad and extreme) you ever utter a word in defence of him or the government.

The Green Party condemns Russia’s invasion, backs Ukraine’s sovereignty, and urges peace talks. It opposes NATO expansion and supports replacing NATO with a cooperative, non-militarised European security framework 💚
