Labour are whipping to abstain on the bill to allow MI5 and police to commit crimes on home soil. This is like the MI5 equivalent of the torture bill.

Please, people who believe in left-wing ideals, join an organisation that actually agrees with you.

Why are the tory LGBT+ publicising two straight MPs (one of whom slagged off a woman for looking like a tranny with a hangover) miming to a Taylor Swift song?

Why hasn't everyone involved in this hanged themselves in shame?

I bet DD ends up on HIGNFY.

Rosie Duffield really going out of her way to prove that centrists are unequivocally utterly apalling people

Also lol the critic covers are going to become a british ben garrison

[bgmnts]

Its LGBTQIA+ now by the way.

Fucking hell.

The hell's happened to RLB's face? Has she had a stroke?

[Blinder Data]

Nearly at 100 pages - new name suggestions?

"Tough on Corbyn, tough on the causes of Corbyn"

I'm sure you can do better than that

Starmer gonna have to thump ya?

That's excellent.

that's lisa nandy, she always looks like that

[Sebastian Cobb]

that's lisa nandy, she always looks like that

I think she's fast becoming the one they send out to announce bad stuff so her face will be synonymous with bad news.

Brief return to this page.

I was trying to work out who it was. I thought it was a crap Ash Sarkar.

Bye again.

Looks like the Spy Cops bill could've been thwarted by Labour.

Also interesting that it seems people from the right of the party also had reservations with it but lacked the fortitude to rebel. Or in other words Ham Cop autocratically told them to abstain on something quite bad 'cos he's a friend of the spooks.

I saw Nadia Whittome's response and it was very similar to the torture one, which is fair enough. She's a good egg.

Sad to see no RLB on that. Shame to see Louise Haigh didn't oppose either seeing as she was quite good (as an ex special constable) at calling for curbs to police surveillance and is also presiding over things like policing in NI. She followed the whip on torture last time. Odd as she seemed to not pick a side in the Corbyn thing.

She did urge her constituents to vote for Owen Smith in his leadership challenge though. I know this because one of my mates is a Labour activist in Heeley and he saw this as a big turning point. Which it obviously wasn't. He's now a big Starmerite, the gullible sod.

Shout out to Zarah Sultana as well https://twitter.com/SamayyaAfzal/status/1313248661820903425

[Mr_Simnock]

Great speech by Zarah there, this bill is the work of a tin pot dictator.

[Thomas]

Zarah is marvellous. I wish someone like herself or Nadia were my MP.

Unfortunately mine is a Tory made of dust, a human wardrobe idly following the government line, whose name always appears on those viral lists of MPs who've voted for terrible things.[nb]

Spoiler alert

no it's not Starmer

Fucking hell there's nobody there.
One of the most brilliant speeches in modern politics and she may as well have been talking to a wall.

[idunnosomename]

Proper grown-up politics here. You rabble will never understand and appreciate it.

#StarmerOutstanding is trending on Twitter. Apparently we should all stand by the Labour leader and ignore all his faults because he is the only chance of getting the Tories out. I don't remember these mealy-mouthed cunts being that vocal about getting behind the last Labour leader.

Right now it seems to just be enough for him to be the leader of the opposition for him to get praise. Anything he does or doesn't do is pretty much ignored

Oh God, we're in trouble now. If they've got a hashtag then there's no stopping them.
