Bad Enoch had a ****show even by her own utterly ****ing moronic standards at PMQs today

In particular her sneering jibe about Ed Miliband not being in Commons today, considering today was his mother's wake...

Andy Burnham was elected to parliament by the voters in his constituency.
Just like every other MP including the present Prime Minister - and every other previous Prime Minister.
So he has the same mandate to be Prime Minister as anybody else - provided that he is properly elected as leader of the Labour Party given that they are in government presently.
So why are there claims that there should be a General Election “because he hasn’t been elected as Prime Minister “?
If he does become Prime Minister, it will be exactly because he has been elected.
Agreeing or disagreeing with his views doesn’t alter that.

As has been pointed out: half of Deform's MPs don't have a mandate as they were elected under the Tory banner

For some reason the waffling gargoyle hates when this is brought up...

So my daughter is back from university and was banging on, ten to the dozen, for about an hour during the Bosnia v Qatar match about Palestine and religion (inter alia).
We decided that to avoid being incarcerated for terrorism, we would create our own activist group called Palestine Action Man so we could object to genocide in Gaza by waving Action Men dressed in thobes in thee air.
And those with Palestine Action T-shirts and placards (often meek, elderly women) could avoid terrorism laws by simply writing the word “man” in marker pen underneath
Just a thought.
But she did raise a very good point about religion. If there is a God, what was he thinking with the dinosaurs? Makes no sense.

I wonder if any Chileans living over here have been deported because they support Deportivo Palestino
