Starmer did this with second jobs and the Tories made a mockery of it by submitting their own proposal. MP are not supposed to submit a proposal that is either subject to review or has been recently voted down in the commons. The Tory draft as ever had cop out clauses that made the bill a farce. The Tories voted en masse to reject the Labour motion, and then voted in the Tory motion that very same day. There is nothing an opposition can do when a government has a such a large majority.
You should also remember, there are plenty of Labour MPs who do absolutely nothing in the same light. Their role is a tick box only. Try doing a Hansard search for the activity of your MP in parliament. OFC this does not factor in the efforts that are done locally. MP’s activity in Parliament is very hit and miss while being dependent on the projects they have current involvement in. All parties are happy to bring in the odd idiot now and again. So long as they vote in the right direction.
Sneaky cunts. However I still think it’s a net win for Starmer as he can tour the country and the TV and radio stations with the message that “The Tories are so corrupt they even voted in dodgy laws to protect No Show Nadine”. They could literally run an election on it. The messaging would be super simple: Tory MP is ripping off the tax payer and Rishi wants to protect her. It’s so daft it’s genius!
Pretty hard to do with such a predominant right wing bias in the media. This was posted as something good that the Tories are responsible for. All facts regarding how weak the legislation or that the stronger legislation was voted was kindly omitted from any publications except the left wing media. This was under Johnson’s watch, but the group of people calling the shots has not changed.
I suppose Starmer doesn’t have a platform of his own? He doesn’t have a voice, a website, an impeccable PR team that runs Twitter and Facebook, six open questions every week on PMQs, a whole shadow front bench that do media rounds every day, and hasn’t been having secret meetings with Rupert Murdoch.
Yeah you’re right, there’s absolutely nothing Labour could possibly do 😉.
Starmer is not pushing himself as NEWS though. The channel is literally called GB news. That infers it is giving factual evidence when clearly it is nothing more than a culture wars platform designed to push their own agenda.
Sorry who is talking about GB news? There are other news channels available.
Ask yourself: do you really think Starmer and Labour are doing enough? Or is it always a right wing conspiracy that stands in the way?
I am a bit above your gaslighting troll. I am also not an ardent Labour supporter. There is no right wing conspiracy, there is clear evidence the right wing have bought out the media to push an agenda. The conspiracy is people believe it is divide and conquer. The reality is that it is just a heist.
Mate, I don’t want to get into a pointless argument with you, but you rather randomly brought up GB News for what reason I have no idea 🤣. And I’m sorry, but the way you talk sounds conspiracy 101.
The guardian and independent and financial times are clear bastions of the right wing 🙄.
😂😂 who talks like this?
Anyway, I bid you good afternoon. Enjoy the sunshine wherever you are.
