  1. some of 'the most glaring outrages of this government'

  2. Byrne said the message was meant in jest. "My letter was a joke, from one chief secretary to another," he said. "I do hope David Laws's sense of humour wasn't another casualty of the coalition deal."

  3. similar note left by Tory Reginald Maudling to his Labour successor James Callaghan in 1964: "Good luck, old cock ... Sorry to leave it in such a mess."

  5. @Phil, if you look back through the Press before roaming charges were scrapped there were daily stories of people coming back from holidays to face bills of thousands of Pounds.

  6. "Finally"?? Haven't you bothered reading the Green Party's manifestos over the last couple of decades?

  7.  @seakr9838  whilst despicable & probably illegal I don't think that contravenes the Constitution

  8. Good punchline, can you put in your green box at bottom-left, please?

  9.  @nco1970  so in 60 years or so it should mostly have filtered out of politics?

  10.  @John_Stelz78  report as harassment, it stays away longer than reporting as spam.

  11.  @firebyrd437  LOL :-D

  12. can't be bothered or look at the options & decide there isn't a valid one?

  13.  @mickeythompson9537  and Cameron allowed Ed Davey to put different "Green crap" in place.

  14. 59 resignations

  15.  @seanfitzpatrick7441  the Government decided the price is tagged to gas & "the market" decides what that price should be. It varies second-by-second but there are trends & resellers buy some at the lowest price for future delivery & some at the right-now price as the customers vary their use. Of-something (Ofgem?) is involved too, they set limits on prices to customers but they don't regulate producers or markets. The whole lot is incredibly muddled & it gets worse the more you find out. Watching Parliamentary Committees interrogate the various actors makes the most sense but it's still very confusing.

  16.  @huginnmuninn2155  how were these prices settled in 1824 or 1924? totally different to 2024 & the difference is the way Government set the rules. Nothing to do with physics.

  17.  @ronaldderooij1774  UK Unions are similarly curtailed by law :'-( Margaret Thatcher's big domestic mission was to smash the Union Movement & she did a pretty effective job which her adherents have followed to even greater depths.

  18. we still have it, it's one of the few Constitutional documents we have & it defines the relationship between Crown & Parliament

  19. Bill of Rights 1688

  20.  @johnrussell3961  Both Houses get 3 Readings each on every single Bill.

  21. unfortunately his obvious replacement, Starmer, has also committed treason :-(
    2
  22.  @majikthise7063  Paragraph 38.57 looks particularly intriguing :-)
    2
  23. The Law has been there for decades, what's missing is enforcement -- the Electoral Commission only acts when it's shamed into it & even then it's feeble at best.

  24. she was doing a lot of thinking throughout the whole episode, she's definitely 'considering her position'

  25. £200-ish will get you a consultation with a private GP who can jump the queue for NHS tests. This is probably the Government's intent so they can quote stats saying everyone's going private so they may as well shut the NHS. It's horrible being a pawn in Government sleaze :-(

  31.  @geraldhewing2076  prior to the neoliberal shift of the early 1980s common sense was much more common & in common.

  32. "Sunak was head of the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Research Unit of centre-right think tank Policy Exchange" (-- Wikipedia) in 2014, the year before he was elected.

  33. He also has links with Centre For Policy Studies, (57 Tufton Street)

  35. 9:42 you're arguing for Universal Basic Income, a long-established policy of the Green Party & something John McDonnell was thinking about dabbling in.

  36. The Offense is Misconduct in Public Office & the tariff is 'life' imprisonment plus a permanent ban from holding Public Office. It's Civil Law so anyone can bring a prosecution & the standard of proof is the lower "on the balance of probabilities". Search Marcus J Ball, Boris Johnson to find out what happened last time it was tried.

  37.  @ADifferentBias  alternatively, it might be less complicated if the whole world shared one monarch. The Commonwealth seems happy with the concept...

  40.  @brianferguson7840  eh?!? Keep up! Labour Central Office deliberately lost the last 2 elections, partly by redirecting campaign funding away from winnable seats.

  44. @Phil, you neglected to mention that Johnson's jaunt to get drunk with his mates in Italy was minutes after the highly confidential NATO meeting about the Skripal poisoning, the only time chemical weapons had been used in Europe since WWII.

  45. Robert Peel (who started the Police force) was a Tory, the whole thing is built on dodgy foundations & has never been rebuilt.

  46.  @emm_arr  I would like to see sources or at least leads as well, please All I have is that the dealings around Hinckley-C are suspicious as well as some Chinese-financed Hitachi railway rolling stock mentioned on Richard Murphy's Taxresearch blog.
