    All of the aforementioned media outlets be they news channels or newspapers have their own bias and political agenda and spin everything to suit their own narrartive.

    Possibly,but they must stay within the rules. Otherwise we’d be no better than a dictatorship,

    the labour party mp Lindsay Hoyle aka the house speaker really screwed up yesterday! he is supposed to be impartial but yesterday totally the opposite, the parliament has a centuries old tradition that was roughshodded yesterday ... never has this happened ... but after the event he got his spade out [ LH ] to try and dig himself out.
    Now we have chaos with the whole fiasco . THE SPEAKER WAS ADVISED THAT WHAT HE WAS ABOUT TO DO WAS WRONG ! .. but still did it! Brecow left the seat in shame!

    Bad enough all of the pro Islamist, anti West, anti Semite, pro Palestine supporters on our streets and climbing over our war memorials, but the Houses of Parliament, and especially the Speaker should be impartial at all times.

    Labour successfully used up 2 if not 3 days of more important debates by their pressurising the speaker! into his foolhardy procedure against the grain!
    There is so many things that need debating, one is the number of Local Authorities that are in deep deep sh*** as they follow the the Labour line of the MAIN PARTY's OF BORROW BORROW BORROW SPEND SPEND SPEND.. then blame central .gov for their woes.
    The BCC is so short of money because of massive wastages of "aint got a clue Marv" they are trying to persecute smaller factions like allotment holders by increasing rents by up to 496% there is around 4000 plot holders in Bristol so they hope to raise an extra [ approaching £500,000 ] by inreasing rents and charging for sheds/ polytunnels/ ponds and other "normal allotment traditions " if reading the local press releases is to be believed.
    Parliament should be for the betterment of the people .. not self ingratitng egoism and points gathering .. putting things in order and discussing a way to make the uk economy and safety paramount
    later addition
    Derek Thomas, the MP for St Ives, told Radio 4's Wato programme that he recalled that time as a period "where Parliament just wasn't functioning".

    "So much of that was because the speaker at the time just tended to veer away from what would have been described as the normal way of running things in the House of Commons," he said.

    Thomas said he felt Hoyle had "taken away" the SNP's right to hold its debate.

    This council like so many other badly run Labour local authorities have their priorities all wrong.

    They could start by fixing the roads in Bristol properly ! It's the usual 'roadworks central' everywhere at the moment, while they desperately try to use up their budget before April !
    The works (more ugly new houses/flats blighting the landscape) off Airport Road up to Knowle West are nearly 6 weeks overdue in finishing as they've shut the small link road, and it causes massive traffic tail backs as people have to go up to the junction where the Fighting Cocks was, and then turn right and turn right again down Throgmorton Road to get to Salcome Road.

    Starmer lent on the Speaker beforehand.
    No doubt. Why else would he call for a meeting ?
    The Speaker seems, unusually for an MP, a decent man.
    Starmer did everything to screw the debate for fear of losing half his MPs voting with the SNP.
    He's a very indecisive and weak leader of the Labour Party soon to be PM.

    May the Lord help us.

    Not sure about her tbh
    She seems a bit 'woke' to me, and there's more than enough of that nonsense doing the rounds in all aspects of world politics thank you !

    So the early voting has begun!!!!............[election will be held over three days from 15 to 17 March. ]

    Early voting has begun in the Russian-occupied southern region of Ukraine, state news agency TASS reports.
    Election officials will go door-to-door with ballot papers and boxes in "hard-to-reach areas".
    This category includes the occupied regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson.
    People who live close to the frontline and service members will be the first to vote, TASS reported.

    One must assume that is ensure they vote before being killed!

    Paranoidski Putrid is wallowing in the fact he is going to be elected again ........ there must be a mental terminology for his condition? I for one never like to to be "claimed" the winner of an event if there isnt a strong opposition. He likely cheats at playing patience :emoticon-0119-puke:....

    Need to include the questions of lack of law and order being applied to those who openly flout the law, why multiculturalism is turning the UK cities into ghettos and no go zones like St Paul’s was back in the 70s and 80s, and why the green agenda is seriously harming our economy by shutting steel works and trying to get farmers to give up their jobs

    For the PM to hold an impromtu " statement to the press and country" at such short notice the security service must be getting worried and have some disturbing leads!
    George Galloway [ even worse than Corbynn! ] sponsored by the extremist faction [ banned group? ] is breathing hatred and unrest!
    small groups of many denominations are stirring the mix and inciting fear and terror.. an affront to our democracy! and leading to the mass demonstrations we are getting each week now.
    This "human rights" has gone to far.. I am 100% freedom of speech etc ... but it has descended into a morass of hatred and endangering of lives............

    NAVALNY........ goes to show Paranoidski Putrid is extremely good at shooting himself in the foot .. wonder how many toes he has left!
    A 3 or 4 day "sortie" special operation! to take over the Kyiv .gov and the sovreignty of UKR ............ has....
    Resulted in a going on toward 3 year war
    A massive increase in the poverty of the majority of Russians and reduction of living standards
    Likely OVER 200,000 killed and 300,00 injured or maimed Russian citizens and more by the day
    NATO increasing by 2 very large area countries and massive increase in border that needs to be defended
    It is estimated that over 200,000 young/ "future brains" are now living and working, studying abroad
    Whilst PP has a warrant for arrest by ICC it is not known how many as yet sanctioned individuals/ oligarch's also have warrants[ so if they travel to the wrong place ooooooooops "excuse me you are under arrest!

    While our wonderful Police force stand and watch for fear of being called racist
    All those attending marches and brandishing anti Jewish banners should be locked up and then deported to the Middle East if they love it so much
    Shame our jails are already so full of foreign criminals !
    As a country and as a tolerant society we’ve laid on an all you can eat buffet and the rest of the world is totally abusing it
    Time we got VERY tough with the radical hate mongers and sympathisers and showed what law and order should be
    They wouldn’t get away with it in the places they are supposed to love so much

    Problem is we dont exactly have a functioning opposition......... we have a .gov with its hands tied and media and extremist's make the news and put the frighteners on!

    Dont want to upset Ashton! . but KS is a people basher as opposed to a politician, made a few errors when in charge of Lawyers [CPS] and decided to leave before pushed? ! I dont get to watch PMQ's much at midday, unless having nothing important to attend to! Opposition gets 5 or 6 Q'S [ POINTS of view ] to keep the .gov in check! KS UNFORTUNATELY with a smirk as if he has just just scored the greatest "joke" / comment with personal attacks on the reigning PM of the time ..... Hindsight usually his way to actually occassionally make a point about the political situation..................
    I fear for the result of this countries next GE .. EXTREMIST VIEWS and factions are becoming an evil cancer / wart on our once proud democratic nation............

    I'm sorry to be crude but we have a bunch of ****ers running us and a bunch of slime balls to replace them, I've never been so ashamed of our once brilliant country and I have deep concerns over its future.

    Spot on Wiz
    As a country we’ve lost both our way and the things that made us a unique people
    We’ve no balls when it comes to doing the right thing and if we think this is bad, and it is, God help us when the other clowns take over
    99% of the problems this country faces have been imported and are self inflicted
    We need a civil war to knock seven barrels out of the appalling lefties that have caused a lot of this

    Closer to home Bristol City Council ............. Marvin 's reign has been the most devastating one in the past 50 plus years .... every department in the council has been allowed to "free reign toa degree" to appease the population ... sorry to say it but the majority of the population are gullible and freeloaders ...............
    massive losses reported and why? HE and the council have wasted in excess of £300m [ probably more ]
    here is a minute list of less known ones
    Over £900,000 spent on taxis between February and September 2020.
    Over £30,000 on diesel, despite the council approving a ban on diesel cars entering parts of the city centre last year.
    Almost £20,000 wasted on room hire during the pandemic, including over £1,600 for an election event that didn’t go ahead.
    A £23,000 bike allowance.
    £2,000 grant to the arts agency behind the #WhoseFuture campaign, covering topics including divisive posters.
    7 council employees received more than £100,000 in 2018-19.
    Over £2.1 million on the mayor’s office between 2015 and 2019.
    £400,000 pumped into Avon Mutual community bank - dubbed "the next Bristol Energy".
    Councillors awarded themselves a £180,000 pay rise in March.
    The council lost £37.7 million on its failed energy company.
    £12 million was spent on an arena that never got off the ground.
    A boat was purchased for £1.4 million after a 10 year struggle to get it moved.
    One of the most expensive routes of the £220 million metrobus project is still empty.
    road works third attempt around Temple meads £20?m

    time to pay their follies and greed ...........how? well heres one......

    conned the allotment holders! with a 496% increase in rents [ reported ] but FOI indicates the reasoning they give " the council has subsidised the allotments for years" is a big con, it is / has small holdings included. ALLOTMENTS DO NOT HAVE BUILDINGS ON THEM ..[ other than tenants own sheds] so how come they spent circa £225,000 on them in 5 years to 2022? In same period spent circa £130,000 on grounds maintenance and tree's ... and corporate ...well that is another £130,000 ......... some christmas parties there then .... !

    are they using allotment holders as cash cows to fill in their massive mismanagementof "EVERYTHING" THEY screwed up ............... LOOKS LIKE IT!

    PS all said and done on taking and income and excessive expenditures A DEFICIT OF £less than 4k is shown over last couple of years .. a £10 rise per plot would raise £40k [[ not including the " small holdings chipping in"
