The Old Crem 3,582 Posted July 14 Wes Streeting has confirmed he is keeping the Puberty Blockers ban - this has caused prehaps the first backbench rebellion with a few of the left rebel backbenchers criticising it. Not sure a Twitter thread was the best place for him to set out his justification through on such a sensitive debate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going off to the USA to hold Donny's hand and interfere in a foreign election is, I would think, entirely contrary to the job of a parliamentarian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,386 Posted July 15 In a way it’s refreshing to not be shouting at Tory MPs now they’ve been banished, however I must just make it known that Health Secretary Wes Streeting can fuck all the way off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commtech Sio Bibble 2,028 Posted July 15 Having been on holiday this past week, I've just found out that my former MP (and utter twat*) Stuart Andrew has been made Chief Whip of the Conservative Party last week following him moving to a safer seat halfway across the country in the recent election. *I've met and questioned him 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing I could find on this was this which said about 16yo votes possibly not being delivered in time for 2025, but nothing to suggest the plan was being "postponed" - the plan was simply to deliver it this parliament.

Incidentally, @politlcksuk's Twitter handle had to be misspelled with an 'l' because their original account @politicsuk was banned back when spreading misinformation whilst masquerading as a news outlet was a bannable offence on Twitter.

YoungWillz 21,033 Posted July 16 Anyone else excited for the State Opening of Parliament? Carriages, the Monarch arriving for some cosplay dress up, Black Rod marching between Houses and thrusting onto the door of the Commons, The King's Speech (unfortunately not the movie)... The choreography, the lights, the cameras...Ru Paul's Drag Race ain't got nothing on this, baby. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
