What possible crank conspiracies could there be? Isn't it clear what Kier did and why?

When has common sense and glaringly self evident facts stopped them in the past?

It seems Starmer told Hoyle to allow the Labour amendment because his MPs are being threatened and he was concerned about their security. (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... ote-crisis). Threats of violence to MPs - shocking though they are - should not be allowed to dictate how parliament works.

There was even a suggestion on Newsnight last night that Hoyle was told he wouldn't have Labour support to continue as Speaker after the next election and/or go to the house of Lords once his time as speaker is over, unless he did what Starmer was asking.

Should be an interesting day...
Using the alledged 'threats made to Labour MPs' as justification for pushing Hoyle to act in Party-political interest is very dirty.
The real reason why Hoyle was bullied into this course of action was to prevent Starmer getting embarrassed by a large number of Labour MPs voting for the SNP amendment.

The use of Parliamentary motions that have absolutely no effect on the troubles Israel/Palestinians, in order to embarrass Labour was a cynical ploy by the Scots Nats , who are in tons of trouble. On the same Newsnight, Victoria Derbyshire made mincemeat of the Scots Nat bod. All 3 Parties come out of this nonsense very badly indeed

Genuinely haven't heard the yellow Tories mentioned in ages, only through Ed Davey's slipperiness over the Post Office Horizon scandal.

I saw footage somewhere recently of a young man walking in front of - I believe - Nick Clegg, and then his pants fell down. I had forgotten about them up until that point.

The young man's pants fell down, not Nick Cleggs.

I suspect it was deliberate, as one of those prank things that the youngsters are fond of.

Thing is, the electorate couldn’t give a sh*t who the speaker is and certainly don’t understand wtf happened last night, nevermind care.
Still, good to see all sides using people dying as a political football.

Saw one reporter say that a Tory minister told them "we're not as angry as we're pretending to be". Just the usual games from the usual dickheads but all even worse in an election year.

Not yet.

I believe for their next protest they're going to start spamming third division football message boards with their slogans and see if that finds greater traction.

If only the board had got their sh*t together in the transfer window, they could’ve been spamming second division boards instead. On such trifles do the tides of history turn.

Almost like appealing to a wide voter base instead of just a niche base works.
