:emoticon-0102-bigsm You are a piece. My comment is a tongue in cheek reference to your perceived political views,yours,as always, reverts to insult....it's what you do best and is your normal response. You whine and whine, but you never come up with any positivity to advance workable solutions to promote respectful debate.

So yours is a tongue in cheek reference to your stereotypical categorisation of me as a marxist and then you lay into me with insults, but I'm insulting … righto Ben

Good old Kier.

He spent year after year moaning about Tory PMs putting peers in the Lord's.

But up to now, including the latest batch, he has, in twenty one months, installed more Labour peers than May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak put together.

Maybe this is what he meant by "Lords Reform"! Go ten times faster and farther than those he was criticising.

Real Man 'o the people, old Kier is
 
PMQs was an odd affair yesterday. Badenoch's first question was along the lines of "will the Prime Minister agree to grant new North Sea drilling licenses". Starter replied that it was not within his gift to do so as the relevant legislation states that the Secretary of State is the one who must make such decisions. Bit of a cop out, but even Ed Davey said Starmer was correct.

Anyway, Badenoch just basically repeated the same question several times and of course got the same answer every time. Some political game obviously going on in the background but what a waste of time.
Of course Starmer's answer was correct, very strictly speaking.

But, though he shows little signs of understanding it, he is PM. It is his job to MAKE the law, not complain about it.

What he basically said was " nothing to do with me". His default answer .

When you are asked the same question multiple times and can't answer it, you have surrendered the ground you stand on

Im no kier fan but do you think the millionaire public schoolboy Farage is more a man of the people?
 
It's seems Sunderland Director Juan Sartori has invited Reform Leader Nigel Farage to the stadium of light, for a conference and to attend a game...
