@calculus52 Starmer has said there will be no. Leveson 2.. He was happy to get an endorsement from The Sun ( and therefore Murdoch) to be PM

"We procured 2 candidates"
A man nicknamed the prince of darkness who'd been sacked twice, had allegations of corruption involving a Putin oligarch, & was friends with a convicted paedophile, or the architect of Tory austerity responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths

@rich4you @SamJRushworth @NoJusticeMTG How? They may have working class origins but under NO circumstances are they WC now.
English
I agree with this 👇
It was completely wrong for people to attack Hannah for dancing, or her colourful outfits.
It's also wrong for Hannah to exploit incorrect stereotypes and impugn the reputation of hard-working, working-class Labour MPs, which she's done at least twice now.
Stella Tsantekidou@Stsantek
Yeah no, sorry, MPs are often cooped up in Parliament for 15 hours a day, they will have a drink with journalists or colleagues and will still be discussing politics -their job, as Hannah says. I don’t like the blanket demonisation of MPs and Hannah should know better after she had already been accused of not taking the job seriously because she took part in that dancing event in Portcullis house. It was unfair to call her unserious about that then and it is unfair of her to now suggest that MPs having a drink in between votes which take up all night is by default bad.

"Women & girls were abused, exploited & scarred.. they deserved protection then & they deserve to be remembered now"
McSweeney remembering Epsteins victims this morning. But he wasn't thinking about them when he arranged for Epsteins best pal to be given a top govt job, was he?

@LizzieLabour Attacking The Green party leader in Murdochs rag The Sun ..

I'd rather an MP having a drink with colleagues at the end of the night than charging women £220 from a Harley Street clinic for dodgy hypnosis.

.@ZackPolanski calls out the number of Labour MPs who are defending their right to drink & get drunk at work. The fact that these MP's are choosing this particular hill to die on shows just how out of touch they are.

@christopherhope @GBNEWS Is it me or does McSweeney come cross as a little arrogant weasel 🤷♀️

@AlisonKriel @coyleneil I believe peoples true character comes out when drunk..his racism , his sexism, his bullying and appalling character came into the open after he got drunk
English
@rich4you @coyleneil Alcohol doesn’t make someone racist but it loosens the tongue to show who they really are
English
I haven’t drunk alcohol in over 4 years but I don’t believe a total ban is necessary in Parliament and know Southwark brewers have loved being the guest beer in Strangers.
I’m also unaware of any Labour MP who took money from women to hypnotise their breasts larger.

@Bev1808 @JuliaDa43398612 @kathiebennett @AnthonyAinsdale I have zero time for farage, him and Mandelson are cut from the same cloth. Mandelson however is one I've seen in photos with Jeffrey Epstein. All friends of Epstein need looking at.
English
@rich4you @JuliaDa43398612 @kathiebennett @AnthonyAinsdale Going by that, you must absolutely HATE Farage then??? Not only did he like Mandelson, but he is buddies with the 🍊🤡 in the white house.
English
Anyone who has a labour poster in their front garden needs their heads checking. I honestly don't know how anyone can still vote labour after everything that's happened.
English
@JuliaDa43398612 @kathiebennett @AnthonyAinsdale So hanging around and staying friends with convicted peadophiles and child Abusers is ok with you .. it's was just a stupid appointment. Starmer knew he stayed friends with Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction, but just trivial and move on ?
English
@AnthonyAinsdale Don't give a dam about Mandelson. Starmer got an appointment wrong and apologised for it. I am more bothered by the Labour government achievements than 1 stupid appointment.

@BenObeseJecty We already have legal drugs Ben .. Alcohol and pharmaceuticals, which cause probably has much if not more harm than say cannabis.. they want Decriminalisation, and proper control of drugs , to stop criminals from being the only ones gaining financially from the illegal trade
English
Hannah Spencer hasn’t spoken in Parliament once since her maiden speech six weeks ago.
A woman who claimed she’d already done more than some MPs will do in a year.
She has no idea what “Westminster is really like”, she’s a NPC.
Meanwhile the Green Party want to legalise drugs.

"You can smell the alcohol when people are in between votes." Green MP Hannah Spencer tells us what Westminster is REALLY like. The full interview is live on YouTube, and as a podcast here: linktr.ee/howtorebuildbr…

@SamJRushworth @NoJusticeMTG Skilled worker, Doctors , engineers should earn good money .. so should care workers , etc.. how do " working class " labour MPs end up very wealthy on leaving parliament? How did working class Kinnock end up a millionaire?
English
@NoJusticeMTG As a senior union official (Rayner) and Heat Pump Engineer (Spencer), both probably earned more than me, actually. So what you're really saying is working class people shouldn't push themselves to get an education.
I've heard it all my life from the sneering elitist hard left.
English
@SamJRushworth You wouldn't need a very big Bar to fit in all the genuine working class MPs ..The fact labour MPs have to post that they are and give their personal history is very telling
English
@SamJRushworth @NoJusticeMTG A small minority are genuinely working class, including labour ones.
English
@NoJusticeMTG You're basically arguing there's no such thing as a working class MP.
English
@TimAlmond345722 @RowanPelling They usually don't.. the majority of work places don't have subsidized canteens.. what private sector companies do is up to them , we the tax payer is Funding the subsidized bars at Westminster.
English
@rich4you @RowanPelling Do you think councils should be banned from subsidising coffee and canteens too? Both are giving people something at a reduced price.
English
Fascinating to see people divide over hot topic: whether MPs should drink in parliament. Obv, no one favours boorish drunks, but I'm always going to favour the "swift pint" Cavaliers against the abstemious Puritans. Not just because my parents ran a pub for 34 years, with locals talking politics at the bar.
English
@TimAlmond345722 @RowanPelling It's was a mental health NHS unit ..I was expected to be needed to be available any time doing a shift .. I drank alcohol on days off ..voting in parliament is part of the role .. if you know there is a late vote , dont go to the bar
English
@rich4you @RowanPelling So you started at 6am, worked until early next morning. What time and where were you having a drink? Was this routine, 4 days a week or rare? Was it an office or somewhere with dangerous machinery around?
