Do Neil’s posts of personal attacks ever get hidden

Yes - any personal attack that's out of order will be taken down. It's fair everyone is treated equally.

Just cleaned up the last few pages of this thread by hiding yet more personal attacks, from various posters.

Can we please do better than this?

I visit these forums fairly regularly as there are some interesting takes and insights that are different from my own, but the amount of personal attacks and aggressive language that gets chucked around makes it a proper slog!

I know you want to keep things loose and free in here, but the same loud voices insulting each other over and over again is really tiresome!

100% agreed, puts people off contributing for sure.

And it's the same handful of people all the time...

Will Sunak have the balls to sack Lee Anderson ? or will he step down ? or none of the above ?

As expected, the SNP amendment has been voted down by 337 votes to 66.

This isn’t going to be a good couple of days for him so anything is possible. Fingers crossed!

The government need to lose the 3rd party reading of the bill tomorrow and if that happens then Sunak might have to call an election.

No no not irrelevant at all. Todays votes give an idea on the scale of a possible rebellion, 68 voted for an amendment just now so in theory if all of those votes against the bill tomorrow then the government would lose.

They're waiting for either a monumental f**k-up by Starmer, some tax cuts to be seen in a paycheck so they can go on the "he'll take money out of your pocket" attack line, or some random world event to give them a chance to say things are better.

Stuff like the poll Frost commissioned, this rebellion etc. is all just internal party politics to try and shift their position into even more immigrant-hating.
