Financial Times: Political Fix

FYI whats handy about this podcast is that it contains links to FT content that is free to read because the FT has really good content at stupid, indefensible prices

No he isn't. He should be on 0%.

Surely nobody of sound mind could think that Cameron was worse than Truss?

I think the guy who decided to bet the future of the country on a single yes/no referendum for his own political gain and then lost should be at higher than 3%.

Brexit has and will continue to do more damage to the country than the mini budget

Lindsay Hoyle in the shit tonight...

i hear it was total chaos...

They should accept his apology and move on, there's more important things they should be doing, fucks sake.

It was odd that they didn't vote on all the motions.

It's not as though MP's are overworked.

If he just cocked up, then yes.

If he was lent on by Labour however, as is being alleged, that's a whole different ball game.

I'm inclined to believe that Starmer/Labour didn't do anything untoward, nothing nasty or threatening at least. The SNP claiming some sort of ''blackmail'', is a fucking joke.
The Tories and the SNP are looking to damage Labour wherever they can, it's obvious, seeing as they are set to lose a lot of seats to them, according to polls.
If Hoyle hadn't done what he did, I have no doubt in my mind that some other issue would have come up to make this whole thing a mess.

I think that some (Tory and SNP) are making much more out of it than they need to, Hoyle seems a decent human, he made a mistake, but his decision was with good intentions.
