In other news, Charlotte Owen, former 'adviser' to Boris Johnson, has just taken her seat as the youngest peer in the House of Lords. (Quiet at the back, she's NOT his illegitimate daughter).
Also introduced as a peer to the house was Ben Houchen, Mayor of Tees Valley, and described by Andy Mcdonald MP as involved in 'industrial scale corruption'.
still treating us with contempt.

Very bad news. Every vote on lost. It will now go through.
Conservatives whipped viciously, I hear. Saw lots of people never seen before, or heard speak, walking through their lobby.

Today , back in "ping pong", Commons having undone most of our previous good work.
Please tell @LabourLordsUK you want them to stand firm on basic principles, like not breaking international law!

The dubious relationship between Boris Johnson and the Lord of Siberia.

The former British prime minister appointed Evgeny Lebedev, the son of a former KGB officer turned oligarch, to the House of Lords, against the advice of the intelligence services, who were convinced of links between the Lebedev family and the Kremlin.

@Richard_Littler but we’re stuck with the haunted pencil, Fabricunt and Priti Aweful in Parliament for the rest of their lives… not to mention Benjamin Houchen?!? WTF. They are the swamp.

I asked about the environmental and labour impacts of extracting materials for electric car batteries.

Interesting the answer turns quickly to company rather than government responsibility

An amendment to the currently going through the means that it will not be possible to open a new in England.

The amendment may still be reversed in the House of Commons, but it marks the growing frustration of politicians as they press the government to move faster and harder on the climate crisis.

So the architects of the disastrous Mini Budget of Sept '22 - which cost the country £30bn and which screwed up mortgages and pensions for millions - *are being ennobled*.

Literally couldn't make this shit up. They should be jailed.

"Proponents of change need to be under no illusions: achieving House of Lords reform is difficult. When reformers seek perfection, change inevitably eludes them. Hence a pragmatic approach is required. Small-scale reform of the Lords is not the enemy of large-scale reform – indeed, it is the only thing that has ever succeeded."
