Suspended from Conservative party for anti islamic comments. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68392621 Interested to hear what you all think of this

Latest polling shows that in the under 50s age group support for left or centre left parties runs at 81%. Conservative support is at 10%. I would guess that this 81% grouping includes Labour, SNP, Green, Lib Dem, Welsh Nationalists etc. Is the Conservative party literally dying out? Or will...

Very sad news from the ex England coach; https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67942943 There is nothing to add, I am just feeling very sad to see this.

I have recently watched this series on iPlayer which is both harrowing and brilliant and is by the same producer who made 'Once upon a time in Iraq'. For anyone of a certain age, the events shown (and footage) will bring back many memories as NI dominated the news agenda back in the day. I would...

Having watched a bit of the evidence this morning, I can't help thinking 'How did somebody so unsuited to the role become PM?' From what I have seen, there are not really any standout moments so far - just a general air of incompetence and of not taking the pandemic seriously (comparing it to...

Quick question Do you need to physically print these or can you just use your phone with the ticket barcode to enter the ground?

A Labour policy that I would wholeheartedly support. I am really pleased that someone cares enough about tax payers money to investigate what appears to have been blatant corruption. Why aren't the government so keen to investigate this fraudulent behaviour...

Not sure why more politicians (or journalists) aren't like this guy - very straight forward and not giving any time to the lies.

All charges dropped. He will be both relieved and angry at the same time - where does his career go from here?

Brilliant interview by Susanne Reid, not allowing Hancock to squirm out of his transgressions of his own law. For someone in charge of policy at the time he seems remarkably badly informed about it and resorts to trying to confuse us with dates etc. Whilst denying that he broke the law he...

Looks like all of the Brexiteer soothsayers on here who were predicting the break-up of the EU after Brexit were 100% wrong again. Brexit has actually made the EU stronger; https://www.irishtimes.com/world/europe/2023/01/10/collapse-in-support-for-leaving-eu-in-member-states-since-brexit/

You have to feel sorry for them;

William Wragg has just said he will vote with the 3 line whip for today's fracking motion only so his letter calling for Truss to go will stand; Crazy times

She has admitted sharing antibiotics prescribed to her with family members which is actually against the law. It is against the law for good reason, it's all about maintaining anti-biotic resistance in the population. I know there is a lot going on politically, but surely she has to resign / get...

I have a feeling that this could get millions of signatures. It may prick the consciences of a few back benchers if it does. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/619781

It seems that the police are now using the new policing act to arrest and charge people for protesting in public in relation to the death of the queen. The incident below was certainly disrespectful given the circumstances but arrest and charged? - really...

Is this the best that we can do? Purile, meaningless soundbites from a politician who will seemingly support any position to further her career. I can only hope she doesn't do too much damage before she is removed. I wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson trying to become leader again after a...

She has to resign doesn't she? We are scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Peter Bone is also a minister now. What is wrong with our country?
