It's an ongoing court case. It would have been embarrassing if he'd said anything else.

They may well have voted for Corbyn and tribe anyway. I just hope that a populist Green with a bunch of unicorns in tow doesn't split the anti Reform vote in subsequent elections.

Ah. There's a difference between being forceful and mouthing off when you don't really know what you're talking about. I know I do it sometimes. I think we all do, and some folks even get paid for it.

Hey. That may have been a bit sneery. I need to read the whole thread.

I'm a hippy by background and don't feel punched. Mind you I grew out of being a hippy quite a long time ago.

INCREDIBLE clip.

<Richard Holden MP shouts like an angry man in a pub>

Lisa Nandy: "Can you calm down a bit, mate? You're shouting like an angry man in a pub."

Richard Holden: "That's not fair."

He just blocked me for that, sensitive little soul.

I think maybe it's also views on the PM .

How about the trade deal with India? Some very dodgy politics there. Should we tell them to bugger off? I'd also be interested in how EU states deal with China .. Need you be reminded that a lot goes on that none of us likes but we have the luxury of being able to write copious posts about it.

Badenoch: Cheese or ham?

Starmer: Cheese

Badenoch: Ahhh, but is it cheese or ham? I smell a stitch-up!?

Starmer: Cheese.

Badenoch: But which is it?

Starmer: Cheese

Badenoch: At last, an answer. But I'm still unclear?

Starmer: Cheese

*continues forever*

She's such a brainless moron. #PMQs

Kemi has made some big swings on this. The sort stuff you don't normally see in the Commons.

If those aren't backed up then you'd usually consider it a resigning issue.

And given how confident Keir seemed and the willingness to release the statements... im betting they arent backed up

Badenoch: “When will you do X?”

Starmer: “Tomorrow”

Badenoch: “But when exactly will you do X?”

Starmer: “Tomorrow at 12”

Badenoch: “We really need to know when, so when will it be?”

Starmer: “Tomorrow, 12 noon”

Badenoch: “But when exactly?”

Every week

There is zero proof backing up Badenoch's assertion, so for BBC to quote that on front page is appalling.

Sadly they have to make nice with all sorts of people you or I wouldn't want to chum up with. I think it's called being in politics/power in the rather nasty real world.

The Conservative Party’s plan for our economy? More austerity.

Keir Starmer: "We're certainly not going to be following the Leader of the Opposition."

If the previous government was as bad as it looks (ahem) why worry ? Transparency is better than skullduggery, surely? Unless folks don't like transparency, are used to skullduggery and get more clicks and giggles banging on about it.

Why is Badenoch going on and on about the failure of this China trial.

The PM has been clear he is going to publish what information he can and that it all happened under the last government....and that it will show her to be wrong.

Yet she is still going and going. She's a disgrace!

Badenoch has called Starmer a lawyer not a leader.
Starmer has just demolished her. He is a leader and a lawyer. She is neither.

Calling families in Banbury and North Oxfordshire with SEND experience.

The Tories left behind a 'lose, lose, lose' system in their own words. Labour wants your help
fixing it.

Join me at my roundtable where I'll feed back views to ministers.
