Matt Stutely OBE

What a day! Windsor Castle, the Princess Royal and an OBE. So very proud and so very thankful for everyone in my life who made this happen.

@TheMeldrew Off to a flyer!

Mmmmmmm.....

@Olfurni Always really enjoyed your posts, I deleted this for quite a while but came back for sport news! Now it’s just a sea of hate and fear and I can’t be bothered either. Will give the other place a go too.

@RoyalxStorm Two.

NFL season starts tonight, LETS GOOOOOO Time to win all 3 fantasy leagues again

@RoyalxStorm Never gonna let you beat me in the playoffs again my friend 😂

First NFL draft for year done, no pressure apparently 😂😂 Thanks for the invite again @MattStutely good luck for the season Hoping to go back to back champion

That’s 830pm, just for clarity

@ukpackers I have one slot left in a fantasy league drafting tomorrow at 830, anyone interested?

@mike_e_mcbride 830pm, just to be clear though

@MattStutely I'll be travelling to work at that time, so wouldn't be much use I'm afraid. Thanks anyway.

@mike_e_mcbride No worries!

@mike_e_mcbride Is the official NFL Fantasy app, easiest one for me to run. So a random live draft with 90s per pick I think

@MattStutely Hi Matt, is it on the sleeper app? If so I'd be interested if it's 1 hour or more on the clock.

@AlexHartley93 FWIW, we always love your commentary, insights and stories. There’s always haters, you’re the one with the mic for a reason!

@MartinSmith1173 @aliciakearns You know I love the e voting! It isn’t zero sum, can have in person and digital voting, would love to see an evolution, it’s 2024 for goodness sake! Lobby is to make sure backbenchers do what they’re told!

This shows a complete lack of understanding of why the lobbies are so important and the dynamics of voting in person. Perhaps wait more than a week of voting to make recommendations on ripping up hundreds of years of practices.

@Looby13693743 @EllieChowns @HouseofCommons I get the argument and why you’d want it, but I think it would be a sad day if it ever happens, so much more is achieved as a union, things will get better I am sure of it!

Three more votes just now in @HouseofCommons. Each one taking ~15 minutes. Multiplied by ~600 MPs, that’s ~150 hours of MP time *per vote* What a waste. Modernisation of Parliamentary procedures like this is long overdue.

@implausibleblog @EllieChowns Remember electronic voting was done and used in lockdown (and beyond in HoL), it’s more than doable, it’s just on ice

Must watch on House of Commons reform @EllieChowns Dr Ellie Chowns, "As a newly elected member, I'd like to offer observations on three elements on how this house operates: sitting, speaking and voting" ➡️ Sitting - Chamber is too small - In Council and in European parliament we had own seat, desk, plug in devices - Extraordinary there aren't enough seats for every MP There is a practice of Christian prayers, as a daughter of preachers I am familiar with this. But in this day and age where we are a mix of all faiths and none, it might be time to represent a range of faiths ➡️ Speaking - If we have more time limits more MPs would be incentivised to speak - Trying to get a slot, bobbing up and down, last week I did for five solid hours without getting attention of the speaker - This is not good for a democracy - Find a better way of allocating speaking time - The culture in this house is everything from excessive deference to braying, we need to clean to clean up politics, we are here to debate in as positive a spirit as possible ➡️ Voting - It's extraordinary we do not have electronic voting - While I've been here I've participated in 5 votes, that's taken 1.25 quarter - If you add up all the votes thats 1.5 months of MPs time, totally unproductive - If we got rid of the voting lobbies we could double the physical size of the chamber (everyone could then have a seat) "My final point, if we want to be a truly modern house of commons: proportional representation"

@EllieChowns @HouseofCommons Built an electronic system used during Covid restrictions (and beyond in the HoL), my dream is to see it come back!

@badbrainAJ @algatrensig @archer_rs You’ll be able to keep an eye on his Parliamentary record here members.parliament.uk/member/5091/co…

@algatrensig @archer_rs Oh how marvelous. Made my day there Richard

I have realised that a number of Reform Party supporters here think that Farage is in some way the leader of the Opposition. They seems to think he's going to be called each week at PMQs. Mary and Joseph they are thick !!!

@archer_rs Keep an eye here (and on the other tabs), let’s see how much he gets involved members.parliament.uk/member/5091/co…

I reckon both these sides go out and give the SF spot to Germany. Awful game. #PORFRA
