@PolitlcsUK It's His Majesty's Government (but Keir Starmer's administration).

🚨 BREAKING: Wes Streeting has resigned from Keir Starmer's Government

@brownliberite This was the debate on the Humble Address, not PMQs.

First PMQs joke I actually physically laughed at wtf
BBC Politics@BBCPolitics
Turning back to the leader of the opposition, the PM says he and Kemi Badenoch have something in common: "Our parties both had tough results at the local elections last week, the difference is she hasn't noticed," he says Follow live: bbc.in/48TqGfk

@nmdacosta As you very well know, the Commons can suggest amendments, which the Lords would need to agree to.
English
The Parliament Acts Plan: the same bill, with the same flaws, the same risks to the most vulnerable, with no improvements whatsoever.
MPs can't amend. The public can't reply.
Dignity in Dying@dignityindying
MPs must bring back the assisted dying Bill to restore the public’s faith in Parliament. They have unfinished business - and a democratic commitment to dying people to back this Bill again.

@NLConservadem @nikicaga Even on the populism front, promised less immigration, did the opposite. Promised NHS reforms, longest waiting list in nhs history, promised growth, debt climbed, and no growth to be seen anywhere.
Partly, the UK is unfixable at this point, but it doesn't excuse not even trying

He essentially did very little wrong and did some nice things, he just didn't do enough right given the massive majority he has
The British media and boomers undoubtedly destroyed him over an inconsequential thing the winter fuel means testing was
Nondescript Communist@NondescriptRed
I think history will remember Keir Starmer more favourably than most people think of him now.

@Truthseeke27768 @BethRigby She tried! The prime minister wouldn't let her take the necessary action.
English
@BethRigby Safe guarding minster. She did a terrible job.
Little children going to school with rape alarms, women getting raped on beaches or stabbed to death walking home from work.
Her only concern was her own, her money and position.

EXCLUSIVE: Jess Phillips, safeguarding minister, resigns from govt. “The desire not to have an argument means we rarely make an argument..."

@almac_dev @TheTrooper971 No, $2.13/hour is the federal minimum wage for workers who earn tips.
English
@TheTrooper971 2.13$ ist nicht der gesamte Stundenlohn, sondern lediglich der Anteil des Stundenlohns an einem Tisch.
Das macht es zwar besser, aber natürlich nicht gut. Man könnte halt ein Tischgebühr einführen, dann gäbe es das Drama nicht (machen auch viele).
Deutsch
Actually insane to put a sign on a store that says "I'm only paying my servers 2.13$ per hour" (less than 2€) and Americans think it's normal. XD

@stevemorris__ Realistically she needed to make it to Jan 3 tho

@igorbobic Huh? She’s right. When an election is rigged, you need to vote harder than ever.

Dem response to VA court decision is telling people to turn out and vote, even though they just did and it didn't work
Governor Abigail Spanberger@GovernorVA
More than three million Virginians cast their ballots in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, and the majority of Virginia voters voted to push back against a President who said he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress with a temporary and responsive referendum. They made their voices heard. I am disappointed by the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling, but my focus as Governor will be on ensuring that all voters have the information necessary to make their voices heard this November in the midterm elections because in those elections we — the voters — will have the final say.

@NickyFrank30 This *will* be a 9-2 map in this year's political climate.
English
@GamerFunni @TetraspaceWest Yes, but they advise you not to, so that you don’t accidentally catch someone else’s ballot (which would be illegal).
English
@TetraspaceWest Wait is it legal in scotland to take photos of your vote?
English
im triple checking whether I didn't accidentally misread "reform" as "labour" and here are people going around spoiling ballots by putting a cross in the box they don't want

I only voted the Alliance to Liberate Scotland @LiberateScot, spoiler alert!

The two blue parties form a coalition as combined they have a majority. You're welcome.
blaire 🦑@zorororonoa999
these results in peterborough are absolutely shizophrenic, how do you even form an administration out of this
English
@semaphorist @hnjsamuels But we *know* how to count votes by hand quickly. Not doing it is simply a matter of laziness!
English
@hnjsamuels Instantaneous tallying with some form of machine has to be the best - we just need to design a system that can readily be secured from tampering and audited - so perhaps optically read ballot papers or something.

Might run for Parliament on a single-issue campaign: mandating overnight counts for all elections

@EggerDC Plus AI always erroneously adds spaces around em dashes.
English
The thing em dashes are most useful for--the sort of elaborating aside I'm doing here--doesn't seem to trip people's AI sensors much. What you can't do now without Bot Accusation is use them to join two short independent clauses. Which was already bad!
Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende
I *hate* this. Anyone who was ever on a law journal learned the difference between em-dash and en-dash and started employing them vigorously. Now I have to take them out of my pieces so that people don't wrongly misattribute as AI.

Sometimes, I think about the difference in size between the gavel used for the US House vs the one used for the Senate.
Douglasville, GA 🇺🇸 English
@clare_slatts But the White House’s view is that the purpose of the ballroom is to enhance security.
English
This is a clickbait headline from a reporter who obviously didn’t read the plain language of the bill text.
The bill provides funding for Secret Service security enhancements — and explicitly prohibits funds from going to non-security “ballroom” elements.
English
@rePro_Truth @chrisgeidner He literally explained, in plain English, exactly what it means.
English
BREAKING: SCOTUS grants the Callais plaintiffs' request to issue the judgment now, meaning the ruling goes into effect and back to the district court immediately.
This was done over a strong dissent from Jackson — prompting Alito (w Thomas & Gorsuch) to author an opinion concurring with the grant.
English
@GaytriotGannon @Sasha1892_88 @Jake_W They did replace it later the same year.
The Senate’s gavel has never had a handle.
English
@Sasha1892_88 @Jake_W Did you just copy what another commenter said, or did you actually already know that? How did you know that? I didn't know that. I should have known that. Why didn't they just replace it? They should replace it. I'd have replaced it.
