If pensioners who get more than £11,343 a year don't get the Winter Fuel Allowance.
MP's who get £91,346 certainly shouldn't get ALL their fuel bills paid.
You know, I want my country back too
Back from the far right, the racists, the politicians who prey on ignorance and xenophobia, back from the EDL, Farage, Reform The Daily Mail, The Sun and every God forsaken crappy organisation that spreads divisive hate
It has been 19 months since Michelle Mone was ordered to pay back £232,000,000, she hasn't paid back a penny, and is still a Lord despite not appearing in 2 years.
It is time for her to pay, and for her Lordship to be rescinded.
I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I?
Like if you do
RT if you really do
It would provide £40bn in tax, DOUBLE the £20bn deficit.
🧵 about #class#privilege and #privateeducation. Watching the Olympic swimming last night and Clare Balding said something in such an incredulous tone which summed up the establishment perspective and how their experience differs. 1/
Richard Tice and Isabel Oakeshott have been called a pair of fascists.
It really, really upset them.
Do not RT this post unless you are certain that they are.
Bella Donita holding an Israeli official to account in January on Sky News, it was her last ever appearance.
Like Sangita Myska she was cancelled.
RT the hell out of this, we can't let the few people who speak out in the Media be silenced, in silence.
Must watch on House of Commons reform @EllieChowns
Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting"
➡️ Sitting
- Chamber is too small
- In Council and in European parliament we had own seat, desk, plug in devices
- Extraordinary there aren't enough seats for every MP
There is a practice of Christian prayers, as a daughter of preachers I am familiar with this. But in this day and age where we are a mix of all faiths and none, it might be time to represent a range of faiths
➡️ Speaking
- If we have more time limits more MPs would be incentivised to speak
- Trying to get a slot, bobbing up and down, last week I did for five solid hours without getting attention of the speaker
- This is not good for a democracy
- Find a better way of allocating speaking time
- The culture in this house is everything from excessive deference to braying, we need to clean to clean up politics, we are here to debate in as positive a spirit as possible
➡️ Voting
- It's extraordinary we do not have electronic voting
- While I've been here I've participated in 5 votes, that's taken 1.25 quarter
- If you add up all the votes thats 1.5 months of MPs time, totally unproductive
- If we got rid of the voting lobbies we could double the physical size of the chamber (everyone could then have a seat)
"My final point, if we want to be a truly modern house of commons: proportional representation"
