First Question Time I've watched for a while and I've had to turn it off in disgust.
Ian Lavery from Labour was absolutely dreadful. It takes a low bar for Peter Hitchens to be the most coherent voice on the panel.
Maybe it's my stinking cold making me even more cynical than ever but I can't remember political discourse in this country being as bad as it is right now.

urgent, disadvantaged and misleading. that's not considered 'strongly worded' on our small hollow planet, far, far away.https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... cellations" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In a strongly worded letter, the CAA’s chief executive, Andrew Haines, told Ryanair: “This issue is urgent, as passengers may already have been disadvantaged by taking a decision based on misleading information provided by Ryanair.”

Ministers who fail to cut greenhouse gas emissions should face legal action, says former chief government scientist
Professor Sir David King says 'if it takes legal action to force ministers to behave properly, then so be it – I’ll support it'

Pull your beep beep fingers out of your collective beeps and remedy the situation you lying beeping beeps.

Re: Thursday 28th September 2017
Even in the less than salubrious area of Leeds I live in the LHA no longer covers the minimum rent for a one bedroom flat, so if you're on JSA for example, from that £75 a week you'll need to find about £15 at least to cover the rent and also the council tax you're required to pay.
I remember a time not so long ago when it was stipulated that that £75 was the legal minimum amount you were expected to live on so it couldn't be eaten into by other basic requirements. But then came IDS and our Labour councils have happily gone along with it all.

Re: Thursday 28th September 2017
I spent a lot of time growing up in Northumberland, in fact I went to college for a year in Ashington which is where Mr Lavery is from. it was a drug riddled shithole at the time like a lot of mining towns after Maggie gutted them.Ian Lavery is a British Labour Party politician & former trade union leader from Northumberland who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wansbeck since the 2010 general election.
There was a lot of dark humour, and a lot of heroin. And lots of SWP.
One of them tried to charge me a fiver a week (in 1989 so that's like a million pounds now) to live in his spare room despite the fact his rent was paid by housing benefit.
I assume Mr Lavery was one of them.
Northumberland is a weird place. Wholeheartedly Labour in the South and whatever the farmers want in the North. Which up until the last election had been the Lib-Dems. But now a Tory woman who claimed that everyday her constituents complain to her about the numbers of immigrants. In Berwick upon Tweed. This seems unlikely.
