No Fine for Starmer

The motion fell by 108 votes to 51. Of Labour’s 167 peers – more than enough to have pushed through the amendment – only three defied Starmer’s order. In a rambling speech, close Starmer ally Jenny Chapman said the party would support the free school meals plan (amendment 58), but only if the government also supported it.

Did anyone listen to Starmer’s speech on the economy a couple of days ago?

What a contrast to what we are hearing from the Tory candidates.

We are going to grow Britians economy he said that more than a few times

And two flags.

The time spent waiting for the Durham announcement has not been wasted WWM they have plans and structures in place to begin to carry out those plans. They have asked some good minds to look into them too.

The team ‘working class’ has really bugged me for years, particularly knowing the hours put in by some family members running their own businesses and others in senior positions (granted earning good salaries), but working evenings and weekends without the benefit of overtime pay. This is in no way intended as being detrimental to the hard workers in ‘the working classes’, whom I wholeheartedly support, but I just wish another term could be found.

Are you not happy for your family members to be included in 'working class', as they have worked so hard? What would you prefer them to be called?

I believe we have to be fair and say that Sir Keir Starmer was working and did need to eat, also those working with him, so really no case to answer.

Yes I see that they are employing Gordon Brown and Blunkett amongst lots of others. Experience counts for a lot. They each have a particular remit.

They had an event apparently but it looked like a party
Sick of one rule for conservatives but Labour can do what they like
Including acting like silly children in par ligament and loving every minute of someone having to resign Who was that pretending to play a violin when the Prime minister spoke

I'm working class that's where life took m e
Someone has to be Idont feel ashamed as person above suggested
Why would I ?

There really isn't one rule for Conservatives and Labour can do what they like.

There are rules for everyone, and a number of Tories have been found guilty of breaking them.
