  1. LIVE: UK finance minister Rachel Reeves answers questions in parliament

    UK finance minister Rachel Reeves and her ministerial team answer questions in a regular appearance in the House of Commons. Britain's parliament will then debate and vote on a possible inquiry into Prime Minister Keir Starmer, looking at whether he misled the House of Commons over the appointment of former U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson. #uk #keirstarmer #rachelreeves #houseofcommons

  2. Why is it that I get the impression that the only way some MPs (on both sides of the House) can only bring themselves to support or oppose a bill by ensuring that they have had a (subsidised) skinfull between votes? Krish Patel, Hesgeth, east your hearts out.

  3. #TheGuardian prints lies about #AassistedDying, by the bill's proposer #KimLeadbeater MP: archive.is/gcJgH

    ⅔ of seats in #HouseOfCommons are held by the so-called #LabourParty that got ⅓ of votes. The holders of those seats were chosen by a corrupt clique around paedo-pal #Mandelson. That's not democracy; it's anti-democracy.

    Every #disability group opposed Leadbeater's half-arsed bill, because it didn't safeguard disabled people. Only the Lords protected them.

  4. Congrats UK #HouseOfLords for blocking #AssistedDying Bill. 👍

    I strongly support the principle of right to die, but I oppose legalisation without strong protection against #coercion. #KimLeadbeater's botched bill was opposed by every disability group. It's a scandal that her liberal supporters allowed this disgrace to pass the #HouseOfCommons.

    I am unpersuaded that any safeguards could ever be adequate. But a #PrivateMembersBill will always be under-prepared.
