Rosie Cooper is a now retired Labour MP (though she was previously a LibDem)

Indeed I did. Thanks and it's been edited accordingly.

Question Time tonight came from Nottingham, where I've had a few good nights at Rock City. I assumed like a lot of music venues from my youth it was probably gone by now but after a quick Google it seems like it's still going strong. Yay. For the Tories we had James Daly. James began with a bit of f...

I can't remember a better example of the need to follow Healy's advice than yesterday, but it isn't only Sunak who's bad at politics, is it. The PM and the tory front bench are totally discredited in the eyes of most of the public, but Labour can't/doesn't want to stand up to them. Barry Gardiner's...

When Sonia Sodha condemns Sunak then gets a load of abuse for it, not from the right and transphobes, but from those advocating trans rights, she really isn't the problem.

It's utterly depressing.

Sky'sGoneOut

How indeed. Maybe it's just me but this feels pretty terminal for Sunak, he's not going to be able to live this down. He's been egged on by the right of his party and the rightwing press to fight these horrible culture wars and look where it's got him. https://twitter.com/Samfr/status/17552981305374...

Wow, apparently Badenoch went rogue.

I think it may be possible to be too cynical about today - it might just be this depressing saga's "Sir, have you really no sense of decency?" moment. Let's hope so but from what I can see all it seems to have done, outside of a few honourable exceptions, is entrench both sides. One thing...

I don't say this often but well done Dan Hodges and Tom Harwood.

While many of the usual, odious suspects are defending Sunak those two appear to be the only Tory pundits showing an ounce of humanity and calling him out.

Sky'sGoneOut

Absolutely grim from Sunak. And a thing that seems to being missed here is that in his non apology statement at the end of PMQS Sunak referred to Brianna Ghey as 'her'. So on the one hand it would appear he's happy to refer to her using a female pronoun, while on the other he's mocking Starmer for n...

I'd like to say I enjoyed this bit of absurdist whimsy by Dan Hodges but it's behind a paywall which I've not bothered trying to break yet. Presumably his argument goes that if Galloway significantly splits the left in Rochdale the Tories should take advantage of that split by calling a GE and limit...

Strangely enough, that is also the UK government's position (the US deemed it a genocide some time ago, though) You're absolutely right, I made the assumption that we'd fallen in line with the Americans but clearly not.

You do realise there are other genocides memorialised, than just the Jewish one of the Second World War? And they are all included in "never again". The Israelis continue to deny the Armenian genocide. Which I'm pretty sure is profoundly offensive to 99.9% of Armenians. Their rank hypocri...
