She’s just doing the Priti schtick for a certain element of their support. See she’s started with the “invasion” rhetoric.

Why was Keir Starmer in Germany, not Parliament. As it was sitting?

Do people who are regulars in the politics thread think that every MP goes to the house of commons every day?

How sweet.

I don’t think so. One just decided to have a kick out at a left wing, female, minority MP about nothing because thats the kind of behaviour that is now encouraged amongst Labour supporters.

Just think of the money that could have been coming into the countries bank account if that company was owned by the state. 
 

Oh it was. I wonder which idiots sold it off.
