The Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch had informed the Press before telling Parliament about the decision to remove the deadline for abolishing hampering EU legislation.
Coming to the House to explain, she began with an unfortunate turn of phrase - ’I'm very sorry that the sequencing that we chose was not to your satisfaction’ - that sounded as though it was a minor matter and that Speaker Hoyle had simply had a fit of the vapours at being overlooked.
It did one’s heart good to hear Sir Lindsay’s eruption:‘I think we need to understand each other. I am the defender of this House and these benches on both sides. These members have been elected by their constituents and they have the right to hear it first and it is time this government recognized we're all elected, we’re all members of Parliament.’
Yes, I applaud the first sentiment … am however half and half on Rolf’s opening lines. By the way, this Kemi … wasn’t she the great white (insert your own descriptor) hope some time back, full of promise? Not unlike Penny Mordor and Rishi Sun-pak? Were these not the candidates?
Which really does shine the spotlight on that elephant in the room … whom to vote for? Any of em? And yet look at the frightening poll numbers for Labour. People are like that canal boat weaving down the river … cannot go down its correct path but must crash first right, then left, then right again, into the banks, sustaining damage as it goes … until it finally sinks.
“ why we are blessed to have a sovereign Parliament”
Hardly, if it enables our current situation … broken promises on every single major issue, from Brexit to the invasion, legislation to incarcerate us for speaking out. Where’s the people’s power at this moment? Can we recall these crim clowns?
Link to canal boat zig-zagging, pretty please.
