Good to know that you are expert enough at psychology and intelligence to diagnose someone based on a couple of Tweets without needing to actually understand why they have an issue with something.

allowed to do so. That would be far more meaningful to many people aspiring to the role of MP, and might actually remind a few of them that they are there to serve the country first.

being a lawmaker in the highest legislative body of the country is frankly absurd. It's time to do away with this absurd requirement. MPs that want to swear an oath to the king should still be free to do so, but anyone that wants to swear allegiance to the country should be

than any sort of merit. Frankly, many of our ancestors fought and died to win freedoms from the crown. The royal family should definitely count themselves lucky they still have a role within our country, but the idea of swearing personal loyalty to them as a mandatory part of

The people defending the Parliamentary tradition of swearing personal allegiance to the King really need to take a look at themselves and ask why they feel it is appropriate to ignore the many millions of people who are abolitionists. Parliament has been modernised to allow

Considering I am literally from a Northern Irish family stating facts about Northern Ireland, this response really sums up how little people actually care what those with connections to Northern Ireland actually think about Northern Ireland. Sad. But sadly not unexpected.

It's absolutely abhorrent that a political candidate was subject to an assassination attempt. Hopefully this will encourage him to think very carefully about inflammatory language and actions going forward, but I expect he will be just as awful as always.

For the record, if I held serious issues about the leadership of my party, I wouldn't stand as a candidate for them. Ditto if I thought there was a major flaw with the decision-making process itself. I guess I have standards that Ben Habib doesn't burden himself with.

Ben Habib: "I have long held concerns about the control of the party and the decision making processes." Really? Didn't stop him from standing as a candidate twice or holding a senior leadership position right up to the point where Farage fired him.

The disproportionality of this election has stretched the idea that we live in a representative democracy to breaking point. This must be the last election under First Past the Post. Take action with @CompassOffice @UnlockDemocracy and @MakeVotesMatter:

So we now have a situation where the party with 100% of the legislative power only obtained 34% of the votes. And their leadership sees no problem with this. People won't stand for this forever, and when sentiment turns, Starmer and co are doomed.

If @Keir_Starmer is even slightly true to his word about restoring trust in our Parliament, he must refuse any nominations for peerages submitted by Sunak.

Congratulations to @DannyBeales, Uxbridge & South Ruislip's new MP. Hopefully he will be a voice for progressiveness both in government and in the Labour party.
