Rayvin 5176 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I can't recall the Mirror's political allegiance, is that a dig at Hopkins or a beautiful lack of self awareness? I think I'd actually prefer the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30255 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Quote Around 160 MPs have backed a letter, championed by the Labour MP Stella Creasy, saying the government should legislate to relax the abortion rules in Northern Ireland, which will now be the only place in Britain and Ireland where abortion is in most circumstances illegal. Creasy wants to force a vote by tabling an amendment to the forthcoming domestic violence bill. Labour also said that, as a party, it was committed to extending the right to choose to Northern Ireland and that it would be “looking at legislative options” to try to orchestrate a vote in the Commons. Downing Street’s initial response was to reject the idea of giving MPs a vote, on the grounds that abortion is a devolved matter and one that should be decided by the power-sharing executive and the Northern Ireland assembly. A source said that Theresa May’s focus was on getting the executive, which has been suspended for more than a year, “back up and running”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4685 Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Bollocks Pure political games from Labour hoping to piss off the DUP. And the “ALLEGED” election fraud is against a 21 year old kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5176 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Labour may be overestimating the influence of leave voters in its constituencies: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/may/29/labour-mps-fear-brexit-voters-unfounded-study EDIT - which incidentally does support the notion that Labour should go all in on the single market.

Alex 34828 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 This is where we find out if it's an ideological or pragmatic stance they've been taking. Think it's the former, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5176 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Indeed. I've maintained it was pragmatism for a long time, I guess in part because I remained optimistic about the situation, but following the discussion we had on here the other week I have more or less relinquished that position. I wouldn't be surprised if it is ideology. And if it is, it's a depressing statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5176 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 We should maybe have a thread on the media or something tbh, but I'm just going to drop in here that Elon Musk has declared war on the MSM He's going to set up a website that allows people to rate the credibility of news articles and the journalists writing them. http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/27/media/elon-musk-press-journalists-attacks-pravda/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17079 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hmm... the current Secretary of State for Defence appears the have all the integrity, bearing and gravitas of a temporary assistant area manager for a particularly poorly performing paint spraying wholesalers in Hull. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44357 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 He says "vuh" instead of "the" ffs. The fucking defence Secretary talks about "vuh United Kingdom". Theresa May is such a fucking gigantic cunt for giving this brownosing bellend a job at any level of government. Btw I bet she could perform abortions by breathing into a fanny.

Gemmill 44357 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Any females attacking Theresa May about this abortion issue are not proper feminists because she's a successful woman in a traditionally man's world. This is James Cleverly's patter. Firstly stop being such a pathetic arsekisser. Secondly is this junior school logic really the best you can come up with. What a cunt.
