    It's bonkers that being an obvious racist doesn't breach any Parliamentary rules, but calling someone a racist after they have shown themselves to be an obvious racist does breach the rules.

    But chapeau to Dawn Butler for the way she withdrew the remark:

  2. Reform MP’s questionable claims about street problems anger residents

    Angry residents have criticised their MP after she claimed their street had been blighted by violence and anti-social behaviour caused by illegal immigration.

    Sarah Pochin, the Reform MP for Runcorn and Helsby in Cheshire, said in a video posted on Facebook she had received “disturbing reports” from residents and businesses about incidents happening in Greenway Road, Runcorn.

    Residents said this portrayal of their street was “untrue” while Cheshire Constabulary said it had received no such reports.
