    That is complete rubbish. The deadline for participation has long been and gone, meaning the BBC will have to pay a (hefty) fine to the organisers if they withdraw at this stage. The UK song is out March 1st.

    Belarus were kicked out in 2021(?) for trying to send propaganda and that didn't stop anybody else.

    But Belarus wasn’t and is not a popular country. If Israel is suspended it will be seen as the EBU acting in an anti - Israel manner. That won’t be acceptable to many people in the UK.

    I think the UK is going to withdraw soon as Israel is heading towards suspension and I don’t think the BBC could continue to take part with the backlash suspending Israel will bring with the press and politicians.

    The second most shocking thing from her speech today after some of the content is the god awful background they had. It made her look like a computer animation. 
     

    Plus she also doesn’t even know her audience that well. She is going about the left being helped by Russia but the republicans increasingly love Russia.

    Even a VoNC doesn’t necessarily remove a speaker, though it makes commons proceedings practically impossible.

     

    Michael Martin was up to his tits in it. Hoyle has angered several dummy-spitters but I highly doubt it’s tenure-ending. There’s an outside chance he’ll take it upon himself to resign but the process of electing a new one hardly brings calm to the already chaotic house.

     

     

     

    You’re as much of a fucking weirdo as Rod Liddle.

    Sounds like Rishi Sunak wants Hoyle out going by his latest comments.

    The decline in health services is a result of Government policies over the last few decades. 

    But I'm sure that Covid has left its mark by indirectly killing people with other conditions who would have survived their illness if they had been diagnosed and/or started treatment earlier.

    Plus some medical staff have become too comfortable in using telephone and online systems which shut out many people because of lack of access or lack of connivence (My GP does all day telephone calls which are a pain as you have to be on alert for the phone ringing for hours).

    I think for the Tories it is that he is seen as bending rules to protect Labour from Hamas supporters and putting their anger solely onto the Tories rather than Labour. Meanwhile the SNP are simply annoyed they didn’t get the opportunity to say Labour was anti ceasefire - they don’t care as much about the Tories.
