The level of cowardice and incompetence of this government is astonishing. Five years of total legislative and executive power burned up in little over a year

Abstaining on human rights is very Labour these days.
I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.
