For those lurkers interested

Oppo motion on referring Keir Starmer to privileges committee is defeated by 335 votes to 223, majority 112.

And to you. Just over a year since I saw the man himself.

Quite right too. The amount of time that’s been wasted on this is absolutely ridiculous. Talk about a storm in a teacup.

KC is addressing the US Congress

standing ovation after King Charles sings the praises of NATO and says "that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine"

A good speech. Might go over a few people’s heads but worth saying nevertheless.

Loved his speech. It most certainly would have gone over many heads 😀

He nailed his speeches.

The thread on Rayner in aibu is nasty and feels off, started by a nc'er

The talking point list must have changed after yesterday's vote.

Is that hidden post the Guardian article about how Nigel Farage was given an undisclosed £5m by cr*pto billionaire Christopher Harborne shortly before announcing he would stand in general election?

Yes!

Funny that Harborne managed to slip Farage £5 million before Farage needed to declare it!

What could he possibly want in exchange?!

The person who set the fires was "recruited, instructed and promised payment" by a Russian-speaking Telegram user under the name "El Money"

El Money!

It will be very interesting hearing the defences case.
