Do you think endlessly attacking the EU is helpful? Unless you can conjure up a world in which the EU does not exist, or Northern Ireland ceases to have special status, the UK is going to have to work with the EU. I’d prefer people to do the unglamorous hard work of negotiating.

I hope Lib Dems settle on some productive policies. It isn’t going to work for MPs to court popularity with their constituents for positions which contradict those of other colleagues. I’m looking for concerted action on sewage and social care, not glorified parish councillors.

Whatever were the reasons for not publishing the Section 106 agreement? It certainly looks signed, dated 25 March 2022, and there’s nothing to indicate that it has not also been sealed and delivered. This really does bother me. The only matters that we did not disclose 1/2
Many thanks to

This is one of the most obnoxious aspects of the “lines to take” that have been issued to the payroll vote. “I’m not guilty, but I’m going to pay the fixed penalty notice to make it go away.”
I mean, they're sending ministers out to argue that the prime minister "accepts" the police found him to have broken the law, but not that he accepts he broke the law. That's fucking bonkers.

This is wonderful, especially the glimpse from the cab through the box girders to the construction workers on the other track.
Today we opened the railways’ bridge over Irpin river. Our heroic cities Irpin, Bucha and Borodyanka now have direct railways connection with Kyiv. We will reconstruct everything destroyed during this horrible war.

I’m glad there are still some sane voices around.
In conclusion:
Stop saying we send too many people to university, and start saying we’re not creating enough graduate-quality jobs. End of rant.

[After 14 years of bad governments] There was a creeping sense that democracy itself was based on deceit, a trick played on the innocent by the powerful… the Conservative Party has chosen to nurture it and toy with it on various occasions in its desperate effort to retain power.
An astonishing piece. Hard to disagree. William Davies: Fourteen Years Later

I thought the ménage à trois scene, which was set up by a knowing exchange of books of great French literature, was the most beautiful of all the twelve tableaux.
Si vous pensez que le ménage à trois et le blasphème trahissent notre culture, j’ai deux, trois livres à vous faire lire.

Well, I know I don’t count for much, but I must have called for them both to go at least half a dozen times in the last thirty minutes.

Maybe they are motivated by humanitarian considerations. There are plenty of us
@Conservatives
who find the behaviour of our current government utterly vile, and that’s an understatement.
No one, from first principles, would have picked the Rwanda solution. But, as long as politically motivated lawyers and judges routinely overturn deportation attempts, we have no option but to move the process offshore.

The frequency of incidents like these always seems to go up whenever
@Conservatives
stoke up fear of immigration. Reprehensible and thoroughly irresponsible. Stop it.

There is a difference between “the right to object” and allowing the “haves” to retain a veto. In the absence of any voice in the planning system for those who may occupy new houses, some external authority needs the power to over-rule the “I’m all right, Jack” mentality.
“Who will actually have the final say [on planning decisions]?” asks

And you will be judged by this endorsement.
Tonight I will be voting to support the PM who was elected by the British people. We need to continue our work to improve the lives of those we were elected to serve & focus our energies on the challenges that face us. We will be judged on our delivery at the next election.
