Voting against having the governments response reviewed, presumably to avoid negative feedback AND voting against thanking the flood responders?? Where is the logic?

Last time I checked Rachel Reeves wasn’t forced to pay a £5M fine to HMRC like Zahawi who was chancellor for just 63 days and Kwarteng, the chancellor for 38 days whose mini budget decapitated his own government and prime minister but yea the first female UK chancellor far worse

Real estate magnate Donald Trump calls into UPN 9 News in New York City.
When they ask if his tower on 40 Wall Street has been damaged by the attacks, he brags that it used to be the second tallest skyscraper in downtown Manhattan before the collapse of the World Trade Center, and now it’s the tallest building again.

I, personally, look forward to the 220-team World Cup presented by Blackrock, hosted exclusively in the United States every six months and powered by Polymarket.
EXCLUSIVE: Fifa's president Gianni Infantino is planning to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors under a scheme that could potentially earn him tens of millions of pounds.
Investor discussions held with figures close to the Trump administration, say sources.

🚨 Thank goodness! Finally some pushback.
Commons committee says reliance on Palantir (and other US tech) is an “unacceptable point of weakness” for UK national security.
Time to trigger the break clause and build domestic alternatives.
The Atlanticist tech gamble is starting to meet real resistance.

No, @louismosley. We're putting patient safety over your evil company's interests 👀

Whatever complaints MPs have about Keir Starmer, they are now descending into the kind of headless chickenry that - whatever and whoever the outcome - will make the situation even worse for Labour. If there is a grand plan starring Catherine West and a few PPSs, then it doesn’t feel terribly thought through. A period of calm would do none of them any harm. The general election is a fair way off. The next legislative programme is about to be unveiled. There are better ways to reach such an important decision and better times too. You are MPs not commentators who exist to feed a frenzy.

Out of curiosity, why is there so much pressure on Starmer to resign
But no pressure on Nigel Farage who took a £5,000,000 gift from a foreign billionaire and coincidentally started calling for the very thing the foreign billionaire wants for the UK, crypto deregulation?

“Low tax” conservatives would scream bloody murder if I suggested raising the top rate of tax by 9%
Perfectly happy to whack grads with it for 40 years, though, and scratch their chins about the birth rate

‘Graduates need to be earning about £66,000 before they start tackling the actual debt and not just the interest.’
The student loan system is an unsustainable, irrational, immoral and classist system that’s been ignored by politicians for far too long. thetimes.com/money/family-fi…

That’s despite resident doctors striking in July. But no one is talking about it!

I once gave Boris Johnson advance notice of my PMQ because I wanted a decent answer on something and wasn’t bothered about scoring points. It all depends on whether you think we’re here to play games or to do something worthwhile.

So he's going to be voting on tech company issues as an MP, working for Microsoft as an advisor and writing about tech/business as a journalist, all at the same time?
