Ah yes, the list MSPs, the bag-carriers and careerists too ugly or untalented to even contest a constituency seat on their own merits. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically, if they don't get a Speaker who can sort things out, government shutdown is supposed to begin on his birthday, November 18th. (I know this as mine is the next day and I've had a few "birthday parties" with him at Disneyland). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both Jeremy Corbyn and Diane Abbott were suspended by the Labour party. However switching party affiliation should be added to the list of things that could trigger a recall petition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment MP’s are legally elected as individuals. And parties Would love to be able to force MP’s they don’t want into by elections if they have nice safe seats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,582 Posted October 15, 2023 All these events have showed how so many anti racism groups are racist towards Jews. Black Lives Matter are one of the worse but so many are condone or even support Jew hate. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many, many, many people support Palestine as they want a peaceful, two-state situation, not because they support terrorists. Hamas' terrorist attacks on Israel have done Palestine zero favours. Just have a breather and a proper read before you jump the gun and make an enormous dong of yourself. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted October 18, 2023 If that's true it's fucking disgusting. What a shower. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Matt Gaetz's wet dream of deposing Kevin McCarthy is going splendidly, with his hand-picked replacement (Steve Scalise) dropping out without a vote and their right-wing poster boy Jim Jordan now failing to get more than 200 votes after 2 rounds of balloting (he needs 217 to take the Speakership). In both rounds, the Democrat challenger has received a greater number of votes - he only needs 5 to take the role (but will never get them). Jordan says he will fight on, but looking increasingly likely that expanding the powers of the Speaker Pro Tempore (the interim speaker, who has no power at all currently) is the most probable course of action, if only so they can send Israel some money to bomb Palestinians (although, seriously, there is a lot that needs doing, and the shutdown deadline is getting closer again).
