Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.

I noticed GMB on ITV, conduct live polls on X. Surprise, surprise the results are particularly right wing. Surely there should be balance like a similar poll on Bluesky? @mrjamesob.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @lisanandymp.bsky.social
Important not to overlook the fact that this bilge is amplified & disseminated by many prominent - and very real - racists who benefit financially, professionally & politically from the process.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

And no - this article nor the independent - are as horrendous or as bitter as Jeremy Clarkson, Quentin Letts or the shitrag that is the Daily Mail.
But it's this insidious commenting on people's appearance in something pretending otherwise to be political commentary.
Do better. All of you.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Keir Starmer must have known Mandleson’s history when he appointed him. Therefore, we must conclude he did it because Trump likes him. Which shows naivety, as the Epstein files were always a threat.

Lucy Sweet thought Virgin Island may be a great opportunity for some piss-takes. Twenty minutes later she was bawling her eyes out.

After Trump's treachery, our Governments must provide Ukraine with all the military and financial aid other needs to defeat Russia and win a just peace.
Europe can do this🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦

That sounds fantastic Dale, how does it work in reality?
The biggest and simplest reform is to break the link between the price of gas and the price of wind and sun generated electricity - that’s worth £250 per household - off energy bills overnight.

This is Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, appointed by Nigel Farrage.
Nick Candy boasted to a FT journalist in 2010 "I don't pay tax!" (From his home in Monaco)
He and his brother developed property in London through an offshore company to avoid tax.
Patriotic? Anti-Establishment?
It's a con.

I thought councils had compulsory purchase powers?
The UK has 500,000 almost always empty second homes, and 700,000 ones that are simply empty.
Slapping double, triple, quadruple Council Tax on these properties would not only help Councils but force people to sell them providing more homes.
It is a win, win.
