    Theresa May

    Blimey she's ruthless. Hunt, Gove, Osbourne, Morgan, Whittingdale, all gone. New posts created for Brexit, including Davis in charge of Brexit (who has always been anti-EU), and the disgraced Liam Fox as new international trade minister. Oh and BoJo, which is very clever for May. In essence...

    SNP - What next?

    For whatever electoral voting reasons we now have 56 SNP MPs in the House of Westminster. Given 'Call me Dave' has a working majority, I'm struggling to see what material difference they will make to the mix apart from putting a far greater focus on Scotland in the media, brassing off the Welsh...

  7. "3" person babies

    As this is up for a free vote today at the House of Commons, the fact that the bloody chuches are sticking their awl in has irritated me no end - this procedure will help stop the early death of children with Mitochondrial disease that is inherited from their mothers and surely is a VERY GOOD...

    English Votes for English laws.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29606220 Labour has said it will not take part in cross-party discussions about "English votes for English laws". With the Commons debating devolution, Labour said it would boycott a body set up by David Cameron to examine the future role of English MPs...

  9. Polling update

    Tight but Labour maintain their lead. However a yes vote for Scottish independence would make it extremely hard for them to form a meaningful government. Even with a technical majority they would need to enter into coalition if it were only a matter of a year to 18 months after the gen election...

    How is is right that an MP steals money from her employer to the tune of 45k yet is then only asked to pay back 5k and say sorry. Surely any normal person who stole that amount would face jail for theft. This one rule for us in power and one for the plebs is disgusting.Cameron backing her...

    Patrick Mercer

    Did anyone else watch Panorama last night about MPs cash for questions? He made a bit of a fool of himself by seeming to act outside of MPs rules on paid work. It looked pretty bad from where I was sitting. However, the thing that made me laugh was when he was filmed saying to the undercover...

    This sums it up for me

    The Haircut One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next...

    Death Penalty vote back in the forefront

    According to Sky News, MPs may be about to debate the reintroduction of the death penalty: With the vast improvements in DNA and forensic findings, is it time for a more up to date viewpoint from the cross section of SZ posters at large? For myself, I believe that if the evidence is 100%...
