Not sure about that.

It's like debating a, very polite, Labour HQ chat bot!No, he already got in hot water over the Gaza thing, so he wisely chose discretion as the better part of valor. Or two wrongs don't make a right.... or do they?
*Whatever kool-aid is I would suggest it seems you are the one consuming, perhaps so that you can convince yourself that only your version of the truth is allowed... have a nice day,.....but stay off the K-A stuff
Thanks for the 'very polite' reference, but alas no longer a Labour (never HQ) chat boy.
That was many years ago in the days when Jeremy had dark hair.... but I might return to the fold if Starmer doesn't make a ba**s up of the GE.So great to see some jobs keeping up with inflation.
I'd be ok with that if it was their sole income and most of them weren't raking it in via other streams like sitting on boards, doing TV appearances, consulting fees etc. But as it stands this is ludicrously tone-deaf and to put it eloquently - 'an absolute pisstake' at a time when there's a CoL crisis.
They should not be allowed to hold another job unless its in the public sector e.g NHS.

You can all but guarantee it. These lot have no desire to lose grip of their power until the latest date possible
The highest quality satire never goes out of style and accurately hits at the core of stupidity.
Andy Slaughter's great and the one reason I could overlook Corbyn and soon Starmer cos he's also a decent constituency MP too- fought off Tories trying to flog the A&E dept of the local hospital to their developer mates.
The bar is low.
I was talking to a geezer the other month (ironically when I was working over in Manchester) who’d done a lot of travelling. He’d lived in various African & Middle East places…..he was an interesting fella.

Maybe true about elites (and maybe your guy is/was an elite everywhere he travelled), but there is a world of difference for the common citizen. For example, there are many countries where access to a forum like this is barred, never mind the freedom to say half the stuff we say here. Similarly, in many other countries where elections are meaningless shams, i.e. if you are lucky to have a vote at all.
I thought Andy Burnham was pretty popular and has been doing a good job. Not that this matters.
Fair enough. I can’t speak from experience having been a U.K. resident for life but I thought it was an interesting perspective.
I've spent enough time in China to know I agree with that other guy. There's a lot to admire about them but wild horses couldn't make me move there permanently.
Zambia in the 80's.
"Andy Burnham has a secret that he doesn't want you to know. Toffees. Not the toffees that you and I enjoy with our cup of local Manchester pressed pineapple and Bovril juice, but the Liverpool toffees. Because Andy Burnham supports Everton. Do you really want some Scouse lover telling you what you can and can't do with your Manc bins? Vote for local lad George Galloway!"
Fair enough. Then it’s good to hear, in a thread which is 99% bemoaning the way our societies are governed, that it’s actually better than some of the alternatives
I don't need to be in undemocratic country to know that. bipartidism exist in all the big countries and they make us believe that sense of choice when it doesn't exist. Lobbies are the ones ruling countries and who puts people in "power" in both parties
George Galloway is Local.....
Exactly. Galloway is just a chancer with about as much credibility as Boris. And just as dangerous.
Trust me. My poster would guarantee him the knuckle dragging EDL vote. No need for facts.
Galloway is the most dangerous MP in the Commons. Mainly because he’s capable of taking the mood of the people correctly and exploiting it. The Tories (as they currently are) are inept. He’s not, so Galloway needs to get gone.
This is outdated, surely?
Most dangerous MP? He has absolutely no power, unlike the party who've been impoverishing the country and persecuting minorities, the poor and disabled for the last 14 years. He's on his own. I don't like him one bit but he's one step above an irrelevance.

Totally within the rules for debating Private Members Bills. Truss could of course have changed the rules, but I suppose she wasn't in power long enough...
He's very popular round here. To the point people will vote for him regardless of the rosette he's wearing.
I mean isn't that what all politicians do? There are perhaps a handful of benevolent MPs who are genuinely looking to do some good, whereas the rest are only interested in enriching themselves or their mates, most of whom capitalise on divisive politics.
So, an independent MP, with no party structure and no way to enact any policy and with no possibility of even influencing policy is "the most dangerous MP in the commons"? This is, objectively, wrong.
More dog whistling. In basic English it means dodgy "immigrants" like me, who've been here for nearly 50 years, are a bit thick because of our brainwashing "exotic religion" so can be easily swayed.
