Mordaunt backs Hoyle...says it's all the evil Keir Starmer's fault.

[steviewevie]

Hoyle apologises, especially to SNP, says he made wrong decision and regrets it,  but says he has a duty of care for all members of the house...he has received lots of info from members, and police, about threats they face.

I remember a few years ago thinking Truss was just a bland, run of the mill generic Tory, at what stage did she go batshit crazy?

This is politics and the speaker is elected by politicians. I think it would be naive to think conversations don’t go on behind closed doors.

Conversations maybe but what if the conversation was as is being reported which is 'do as we say or we withdraw support for you as speaker' - surely you can't think that is okay

Even Hoyle is admitting he made a mistake.

I think a lot more goes on behind closed doors than we realise. I suspect you have people lobbying the speaker all the time, it’s just you don’t hear about it.

I have very little sympathy for the SNP MPs as they were attempting to use this tragic situation to their political advantage. Of course there is the argument that if the SNP want to use the deaths of people for their political advantage that’s their right under the democratic system they have in place.

Starmer admits to threatening to kick the sh*t out of Hoyle.

For the all voters I'd like to see it with a third option - dog poo in a paper bag.  I'd choose that instead of some of those options

You are a funny man...........................

 

Ignore one poll with 7% for Green and pick on one you think you can score points with...... for a man who hates people who fly and pretends to care about the environment you seem to dislike the one party with real policies to do something about it and instead make posts that are pretty much aligned to Tory policy!!

You are a good true blue chap - or at least that is how you come over on this little forum.

Strange comes in all shapes and sizes as does hypocrisy - who knows where what we read here fits.

I dislike someone saying there'll be a green surge and a green win in the constituency I live in when there's no sign around here of a growing green vote, but are signs green support is shrinking.

The SNP had the chance to speak to labour and put together a wording that both sides could support.

And Labour had a chance to speak to the SNP.

Instead they chose to put together a bill to try and pit themselves against  Tory’s and labour, giving them something to put on their election material and trying to cause problem for their main rival

Alternatively, they put forward a motion that is entirely consistent with what they have been saying for months. If that caused problems for Labour, I would suggest Labour's indefensible position had a lot to do with that.

they are now sulking because their political game didn’t pay off and it’s hard to have sympathy.

The sulking does not look good and I believe they would be better concentrating on the fact that they finally forced Labour into a position where they had to do the right thing and support a ceasefire.

So what's worse your contentious allegation of the SNP using "the deaths of people for their political advantage" or Labour's postion of condoning the deaths of these people?
