Genuinely: this is pointless unless you're a constituent and his team should, rightly, hit delete immediately or simply tell you to email your MP. Do email your MP tho - particularly if theyre Labour

Somebody’s description of this as the night of the short sporks is my favourite way of putting it.

The real problem with MPs is that our legisature is incredibly weak compared to the executive so their ability to affect policy is v limited. But that's not a punchy slogan...

Perhaps an unpopular take, but I hate it when MPs are described as out of touch. They meet a greater variety of different people than 99% of the population, often in order to hear their complaints. They think far harder about issues than ordinary voters do.

Not the main point here, I grant you—and it’s a good article—but “typically they are often” is an unforgivably bad piece of writing!

It would be funny to say “glad I got out when I did!” if I weren’t actually genuinely and increasingly concerned for the safety of my former colleagues

It just seems to be a fixed feature of media culture that newsdesks + subs can do "protests anticipated" & "protests continue/swell" but will never put "protests shrink" even when they do So there is a chasm between the framing/headlines & the live reporting of smaller protests than before

One lad who'll risk their life going across the English Channel in a dinghy in the hope of some shit minimum wage job instead of living at the absolute bottom rung of the capitalist exploitation ladder is worth a 1000 commentators who keep trying to tell you to give in to fascism just a little bit

Canadian things you can watch next Sunday that are just as good as the Super Bowl, if not better: 1) Meetings of Parliament's Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations 2) #1 but watch it with the audio feed of the other official language YOU'RE WELCOME.

Because the Lord is not interested in, has never been interested in, was born, died, and was crucified without any interest in "basic common sense." "Basic common sense" is our fetish, not His. He came to heal the sick and wake up the dead.

Please believe me when I say that at a local level we are all trying our best to make churches safe places for people to flourish. Your average parish priest is doing everything they can.

HM The King is the only political leader I completely believe is sincere when speaking of Christian faith. “The example that Jesus gave us is timeless and universal. It is to enter into the world of those who suffer, to make a difference to their lives, and so bring hope where there is despair.

When our theology and politics as Christians are completely preoccupied with how other people might be sinning rather than focusing on how our own sin contributes to the current problems of our world, that is when we know our religion is about control rather than redemption.

1/18 I don't want to enter the argument about assisted dying on one side or the other, but the debate prompted me to say something about parliamentary procedure in making legislation. I am often a critic of current legislative procedure, but here I want to defend some aspects.

Spending on MPs' expenses and staff costs amounts to about £150m each year (0.01% of all spending). Why do people think that MPs' expenses are in the top three spending items, when they're not in the top three hundred?
