Billy Jean King Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 ITV reporting that tonight. Tories planning a Trump style dump of Tory peers into the Lords in an attempt to guarantee their legislation gets through. Shameful but far from surprising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is left wondering why every country on Earth doesn't have a similar arrangement. Lucky us, eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make it any less chronic though. Another example of something that you cannot imagine ever happening in a modern north European country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 What are they in a rush to get through is the worry, usually the Lords can only delay things for a bit. The NI protocol bill would be my bet, or the Solvency 2 bill that will free up capital that the Insurance and banking sectors have to keep aside so they don't need tax payer bailouts like 2008. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had far worse things brewing in their heads for a long time. It is interesting that there's an apparent desire to speed things up. A bit of a tacit admission that they know things are going to get much, much worse in the years to come, and they aren't confident that a caretaker Labour government would take all of the blame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Breaking laws, breaking promises, just another day in Toryland: Ministers are poised to break a promise to give MPs a final say before approving the controversial post-Brexit trade deal with Australia, sparking fresh anger. The agreement – which will punish the farming and food sectors, on the government’s own figures – will clear parliament on Wednesday under an obscure behind closed doors process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
