    He wouldn't/couldn't have made any difference though, he did it knowing what would happen - it's his fault, just the same as it would be my fault if I told my boss to get fucked and he sacked me. 

     

    The last eight years have shown us what happens when you tolerate factionalism, nothing gets done. You help nobody. 


    The fact that he made a stand for right vs wrong is good enough for me. The whole things a fucking shit show

    It’s not, it is what it is and foundational to having manifestos enacted.

     

    Last night seven members went against the party line and were suspended for it.

     

    Thats what happened objectively despite what the emotional resonance of the vote.

     

    Same as it ever was.


    It doesn’t mean it isn’t a disgrace though Section. My local MP who I voted for is currently suspended for wanting to help parents and kids. How am I meant to feel? Happy? Not arsed?

    Nah it's discipline - the whole country has been torn apart by weak leaders whose MPs were doing and saying what they want. It's a hierarchy, this is how it's always worked (or supposed to have). 


    MPs being told they have to vote a certain way or they’ll lose the whip isn’t just discipline. Especially given the topic. It’s a disgrace what they’ve done.

    from what I gather,the biggest issue is that its a SNP ammendment who brought it in and now want to get rid of it.

     

    I think labour will get rid of it in the autumn.  


    Im sure they have a plan that will work but suspending 7 mp’s smacks of petulance and wielding the power sword. What’s the point of having a local MP there to speak up if they can’t even have their own opinion in parliament?

    Ermahgerd. 
     

    Like I said, I’m not the one who’s gonna be doing this with you today. It’s all getting a bit sad now. 


    Yeah the constant chirping in trying to shit stir and offering little else really is getting sad and boring. Go on you’ve got a title to win back on the bitch thread. That’s where you should be.

    And you’re being your usual uppity bellend about being right on about everything while you’re on this website. What difference does it make if you or me say we disagree with the two child cap? A rep here, a neg there. 

     

    “Gobbing off with very little opinion” eh? 
     

    Check yo’self. 


    How am I being an uppity bellend? I’ve literally said whatever opinion you have is fine. I don’t have to agree with it. Who is even on about reps and negs haha fuck sake have a coffee and a wank.

    So, how will (based on my original incorrect working out of just child benefit and not including UC/WTC) £16 a week extra for 1 child take someone out of poverty.

     

    £64 a month extra will not take one child out of poverty. And anyone who because that really doesn’t understand poverty. It will bring them more food, but what else will it bring to get them out of poverty? 
     

     


    I think you responded to the wrong post. It’s AOT you should be responding to. I was simply saying an extra 16 quid would help many parents. How that would even be up for debate is one for GB news 

     

    Edited: I originally put quilt instead of quid.

    OK, everyone can read it.

     

    Why flirt around the question? Just because you’ve never been a member doesn’t devalue your opinion on here. 


    There isn’t really a relevance to the question though is there and I’ve answered it. No not presently a paid up member as per my previous answer that is there for everyone to see. 
     

    You’re just being a chirpsy bellend for forum laughs as usual just because I asked for your input instead of your usual going round gobbing off with very little opinion. If you’re fine with keeping the cap then great that’s your opinion. If not then again fine. If you want to wait and see then cool.

    Which one did I avoid? Pretty sure I told you my stance straight away. 
     

    I don’t want to be the one to do this with you all day this time. You clear went on the defensive when I asked if you were a member. I’d join up if I was you, you’d get to meet that Ian Byrne yourself. 
     

    Unfortunately the Tories clung on where I live so the option of meeting with my local MP on a regular basis isn’t an option. 


    Apart from the bit where I didn’t go on the defensive I guess you’re erm …. Right? 
     

    Wind your neck in I only asked your opinion. If your opinion is you’ll wait and see then you haven’t really got an opinion on the topic at hand. Which is fine.

    That’s a no then. I’m not fishing. Just asking since you tagged me in as “Our very own Labour man”. 

     

    I pay a direct debit of about £3 a month and get involved in politics in the town where I live. A lot of these ‘politics’ I’m doing involve meeting other members in pubs. 
     

    I don’t care if you’re a member or not. No idea why you’ve gone on the defensive. 


    I’m not on the defensive. I asked if you had an opinion and was complimenting you as someone who is a paid up member and turns up at stuff pre election. I just asked what the relevance was to the question seeing as you avoided mine.

    I’m still in the ‘let’s wait and see’ period. The country (and specifically public services) can’t be fixed in a month. I’d be pissed off if it was my local left-wing MP being suspended though. Are you a paid up member, Stig? I’m not the only one here that’s still in the party. 


    Nope I’m not. I couldn’t be a paid up party member when the likes of Streeting and Akehurst are strolling around it. I have massively different values to them 
     

    I know things can’t be changed right away but this was something they could have changed and then they’ve suspended 7 mps for going against what the front bench demanded. It’s a disgrace. 
     

    And yeah you’re right I am pissed off. It was Byrnes name I ticked in the polling station.

    The whole idea of building an iconic stadium is false, anyway.  Stadiums gain iconic status on account of what happens there: great players in great teams winning great matches in front of great fans.  A mere building doesn't give you that.


     

    They’re going on about Goodison like Barca have decided to knock the Nou Camp down
