Strategically why wouldn't Labour go for this?

Any such change would need agreement from the government to amend standing orders, which would require a Commons vote

Fewer opportunities for the Tories to speak. Sounds like a winner.

Makes sense they've spent years curating other people's content and are now selling it..... Oh wait 😯.

The ones here in Ireland are absolute shite. Not a patch on traditional cooking. Some weird combination of American fast food chains.

When questioned about his grid penalty the two time world champion told journalists, "Fuck off".

Literally dragging their heels over this. The biggest opposition was from EU bloc nations.

Now Ireland have eventually signed up to this but it's a minimum threshold. i.e. they're still highly comfortable about letting US multinational's get away with complex tax arrangements in the EU to lower the amount they pay.

I don't see how you could look at Labour and the Conservatives on health and say "both parties are the same"

But did I say that? Did I really? That seems like a misunderstanding of what I said.

The last Labour government did a lot of good in the NHS. Correct. πŸ‘.

Specifically on long term sickness and getting people back to work, however, I don't recall them having solved the issues. In fact there was a lot of news about people being better off out of work rather than in work. Hence the Tory attempt at UC to give people "purpose". That was the whole thing with Ian Duncan Smith, he didn't see how paying people to stay at home long term sick was better for them than giving them work opportunities.

So whilst I agree Labour and Conservative records are vastly different, neither have solved the issues of long term sickness have they?

Things of the past

Incredibly poor color accessibility.

The policy is what exactly? Totally confused by the story within a story about Labour rebellions and former Home Secretaries.
