Discussion not talks, always nice to see distinction made in a forensic manner by such an absolute expert

Honestly he looks like he just cries himself to sleep every night. Surely he'd be much happier in some Nick Clegg-esque bullshit consultancy job for some evil corporation or other?

Here's the list. Rayner's name is there. And Andy Burnham, Lindsay Hoyle and Jo Cox :

These are the 184 Labour MPs who didn’t vote against the Tories' welfare bill

The cuts include child tax credits and the household benefit cap

The other really big sickening vote was 2013, the workfare bill to retrospectively make what the tories were doing legal:

Labour abstention on workfare bill prompts party infighting

Liam Byrne defends 'difficult' decision not to vote against government after resignation of shadow ministerial aide

The Public Whip — Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Bill — Third Reading - 19 Mar 2013 at 18:42

In all fairness to Rayner, she didn't abstain on that vote, although on the other hand she wasn't elected as an MP until two years later so can't really give her that much credit for it.

Never watch the shite but, if this is a fair précis of what passed, I might just succumb on iplayer...

Is this the fella that Viz loves who played keyboard on the New Labour song and then invented space or whatever, or is this a different Brian Cox?

the new labour victory of 1997 was brought about almost entirely by the efforts of various guys called Brian Cox, it turns out.

Christ, yeah, I don't watch clips of Starmzy all that often but he looks proper fucking devastated in those two. Poor bugger, it almost makes me want to ask him a question about the police to cheer him up.

Law, like medicine, is one of those professions where there is a requirement to stay in recency in order to contiue practising it.

Beyond that, if there was any section of oir elected representatives I think we could do without, its PPE careerist party hacks rather than those with skills and knowledge drawn from experience in other sectors.

less lawyers too - something like 15% of parliament is made up of the fuckers.

Interesting piece, given the circs.
Some choice vermin quotes as well.

Hmm, things seem to be making a little more sense now, no wonder starmer seems to want to fuck the whole labour project up ( IMO only )

The whole labour project was fucked long before sir keithly came on the scene

Indeed; some might argue that KS is restoring the party to its historic trajectory and role.

Corbyn did however fail to stop Sir Steer Calmer from getting a 2nd job guarding against the ghost of Tony Benn.

 

[ruffneck23]

Ha ! , I've been called a Tory mole, cos I tweeted Starmer asking if he had any conflicting interests.

I also offered a a slogan for him.

STOP THE CORRUPTION.

 

[two sheds]

No better than the tories in answering questions then.

Johnson has never answered or looked at any Emails.

Solidarity with far right racist war criminals!

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Well done to LSE students for driving this fascist murderer off campus!

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Hotovely is such a far right extremist that even Melanie Philips condemns her! To think, just a few years ago, Labour stood in solidarity with the Palestinians, now under the revisionist Starmer clique they cheer on the fascist butchers who terrorize them.

A bit rich for someone to tweet something like that about the Zionist entity's ambassador

The two MPs are at risk of facing ballots that could see them deselected, the BBC understands.

I suspect it has been approved by the regime in charge.

Yeah think you could be right there.

No local councillors were on the party's shortlists in Coventry South, where Zarah Sultana is the MP, and Coventry North West, Taiwo Owatemi's constituency.

Dunno about Cov but in other parts of the country Labour PPC's were chosen via women only, BAME-only shortlists. It was one such that got Nadia Whittome selected in Nottingham I know that much.

Funny how CLPs never seem to get the chance to rebel against parachuted-in centrists though isn't it? Still, having talented, principled people like, um, Chris Leslie in the PLP is more important than what the grassroots want
