@FairerShare But isn't your solution, which removes local council's ability to determine their own tax rates, a negation of local democracy?

A quarter to one in the morning and Conservative Peers are still forcing divisions in the @UKHouseofLords on footling amendments to the Great British Energy Bill. Oh, what a once great political party is reduced to ...

@LordNortonLouth I wonder why. Could you ask some Conservative peers who might be able to take some time out of speaking at inordinate length on amendments of marginal relevance to the Great British Energy Bill, to explain why they think the House of Lords is still sitting past midnight?

Great work by @NeilForPoole to organise this cross-party EDM against the obnoxious practice of starting Parliamentary sessions with prayers. All should sign

Another terrible contribution to the debate was the one made in a personal capacity by EHRC chair @KishwerFalkner. All I can say is that if she's actually "a supporter of @Humanists_UK and @NatSecSoc" as she claimed, then I'm a Dutchman

@VoteTimBarnes And I was picking you up on the fact you agreed it's "deeply contentious" to "stand with our LGBTQIA+ community". Why is that "deeply contentious" Tim?

Tim, you've reposted Paul Embery and agreed with him. What exactly is "deeply contentious" in what Tracy Brabin wrote? Explain please.
@PaulEmbery Quite true. The whole point of this platform is encountering people from across the political spectrum, making points, debating outcomes. If you want to just post a picture with a comment and no response, other platforms do that just fine

No book is any more holy than any other
Some of you may disagree but the public desecration of any holy book should be viewed as a hate crime and the offender should face consequences.
