We're going to have to do it for far more people in England than in Scotland.

So I'm a pensioner and I'm perfectly happy to go for the double lock. We are still protected, the money is going towards making sure that everybody gets proper care and beds are unblocked in the NHS and people don't have to sell their homes. I don't even live in UK .. I'm happy to support the NHS

Which lay Israel open to those charges. That, and the appalling situation in Gaza and the members of their government who say openly racist things. The motion is a mess, but the Israeli government is openly racist and also happens to be Zionist.

Jonathan needs to calm down. I don't think he was a wise choice of a Guest because he's being very hyperbolic suggesting that the Jews won't be thrown out of the country "yet."I think this motion was a mistake, but I think it's disingenuous of JF to ignore the apartheid system of the occupation

I can't find the full text if you have a link I would be really grateful.

Israel is certainly an apartheid state and they would define themselves as Zionists, but it's also true that some of the original Zionists were in favour of sharing the land. It's this particular government that is so repugnant because it is both fascist and racist. Zionism is almost an add-on

000

Because of the structure, I don't believe that Polanski had any influence at all on the motion and they refuse to back his amendment.

I absolutely do not agree with this motion, but I also think we need to be honest about the situation. In its current form Zionism is sanctioning aparteid, so when you say that Israel is held to a different standard to other countries my answer would be.. the same standard as a apartheid S Africa

Doesn’t mean that I approve of this vote by the greens because I think it’s divisive and unhelpful, but I do think you perhaps need to look up some of the origins of Zionism and the choices that they felt they had to make to establish a state and those choices involved the expulsion of the Arabs,

000

Which completely contradict what you were saying. Does that mean the ordinary Jews subscribe to that ideology necessarily? But the ideology itself is racist. I'm surely an ethnic state is one way a particular religion holds a superior place. Please note the passing of the hanging laws.

I normally agree with you,James, but to pretend that Zionism didn't have racist ideas from the outset is to rewrite history. Here is Ben "The Arabs will have to go, but one needs an opportune moment for making it happen, such as a war" there are many more quotes such as these.

There would be no point in labour being in power if they did this kind of shit.

Check the opinion polls. People are in favour because they can see that the one is linked to the other.

Ann Harries @annharries.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Thank you for what exactly?Are you going to pay for it in that case I'm sure will thank you. Otherwise, it's just an excuse to moan.

And also he used that terrible term of red lines which we are now saddled with.

I definitely remember Starmer saying that he did not envisage going back into the EU in his lifetime.

Oh God, that s not depressing at all. Fingers crossed for Eisenkhot(sp) doing ok then.

The 'triple lock' would be these three in prison

Excellent episode and I choked on my coffee at that last bit. I don't think we need to worry about Andy Burnham being over emotional. I think it must have hit Home that day that his dad wasn't there to see his big moment and I loved his speech.

Dear God. Why isn't he impeached yet?

I think we can safely say the triple lock is gone. There will be a royal commission on the voting system so whatever that decides will happen but it will take time and Brexit is necessarily more complicated until we know what the EU would offer us. the meeting is at the end of the year.

Changing the voting system and getting rid of the triple lock are a massive change.

100

The triple lock has gone. That in itself is major. A royal commission to change our voting system that also is major.

@newsagents.co.uk Not quite sure why you think that you can't remove VAT in the EU • Spain: Cut fuel VAT from 21% down to 10%. • Poland: Reduced fuel VAT from 23% down to 8%. • EU Rules: Allowed minimum rates down to 5%. So you might not be able to remove it entirely, but you can certainly drop it

000

I think you have to give him credit for biting the bullet on PR, for being more upfront about rejoining the EU and not dismissing the possibility and obviously the triple lock. Those are big things to have even broached.

If you are on the opposite side from Sharon Graham, you're pretty much guaranteed to have the moral high ground.

And now they're saying that Jordan Bardella is a good person. Seems as though so long as you're far enough Right It doesn't matter what your religion is, but God help you if you have progressive principles of any kind. Then of course you are the scum of the Earth.

We retired secondary school teachers will take that as a compliment.

Awaiting the return of the report, and the finances.

To be fair, he was trying to implement social care in 2010 when they lost the election so he's not just stealing the idea from Starmer he have had 16 years to think about it

100

Aren't we waiting for the Caseyreport to come back? And doesn't there need to be some money to fund it which will not be available until 2030? We could certainly start the At Home element.

Presumably he needs to know what the EU will offer other than re-entry and if re-entry under what conditions. He can't offer anything to the electorate without knowing what the EU will be prepared to give. The euro might be a dealbreaker for people.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

To be fair, Andy Burnham tried to get this past in 2010 when he was health secretary, then they lost the election. Let's not do that labour thing of knocking our own. Let's stick to the real enemy.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

You should prosecute politicians when they break the small laws, because you won’t have the chance later, when they break the big ones.

I'm guessing you wrote this before his speech,which was outstanding, and will go down as one of the great labour speeches provided he can get re-elected. Fingers crossed because social care has to be fixed. I don't even live there and I want it sorted.

If he can sort out the triple lock and get social care off the ground he will have done a country a great service. Here s hoping.
