It’s because it was sent out to government contractors, and some idiot thought Stockholm’s government was a contractor because they get paid for permits.

And how would escalation do that? It would do the very opposite.

And why would the UN piling in make that better? It’s already offering materiel and intelligence to Ukraine.

Why do I get the feeling you think “accordingly” means escalate the military conflict? The exact opposite of what the EU is about.

It’s an analysis piece, an interesting or provocative headline is the thing to have.

People really have forgotten how to read news media in the past few years.

You’d have to be trying hard to forget your media literacy to think that was spin.

It’s a device that’s saying the Trump issue is the major one in the election. Trump, and how voters feel about him, is what is driving one party or the other to victory.

A rare lucid moment

Wow, what foresight they had to appease Trump 6 years before he was elected… This law was written in 2010. The ruling clarified that a more recent Scottish law which relied on this one did so by misinterpreting that law’s definition of women.

As to Chamberlain, at the time of the Munich agreement, the Luftwaffe had the most advanced air force in the world, while the RAF were only equipped with biplanes. Chamberlain bought time for the development and manufacture of armaments, significantly the Spitfire and Hurricane, and in the event it was just enough time, with losses in the Battle of Britain barely being outstripped by replacements. So yeah, turned out alright.

The Supreme Court doesn’t make the rules, it makes a determination on what the rules mean in context of the body of law. It’s not their fault that Parliament passed a badly worded law. It’s a positive step that the law has been clarified, and now the changes needed can be identified.

They don’t. That’s a far-right talking point as they try to enshittify the public discourse. Arrests are made when the objective of the comment is to cause harm to the subject. Encouraging a vulnerable person to suicide, racial abuse, threats and so on.

The article doesn’t reduce the entire nation to houthis….

Parliament has a handy guide to the difference.

Parliament and the Government are different. They have different roles and do different things.

What is the Government?

HM Government consists of the Prime Minister, their Cabinet and junior ministers, supported by the teams of non-political civil servants that work in government departments.

Chamberlain who stalled until rearmament could take place rather than going off half-cocked?

Cameron? May? Johnson? Fucking Truss?

He is disappointing on the Middle East, but it’s literally his job to get the best deal for the UK regarding US trade. If that means tickling a fragile ego, sure why not, an easy win. If it’s proper labour you want, he’d have to denounce every US president since FDR as a fascist abomination.

Starmer won’t do much if anything about it. They’ve already sent the sternly-worded email. If anything he’s relieved that there’s a distraction from one of his MPs being arrested for child rape yesterday.

Under the Westminster system, Parliament is a separate entity to the Government, even though members of the government are nearly always members of the parliament. It goes back to the English Civil War and what’s run by Kings and what’s run by the electorate.

It’s the government’s responsibility to ensure the safety of MPs, but it seems they were there on parliamentary or personal business bit government business.

Thing is even if they admitted it no-one would do anything about it. Why the wasted effort?

Jackbooted stormtrooper of a neo-fascist apartheid ethnostate, or person fed up with yanks mislabelling British politicians because they think everyone runs things like they do. Who can tell? It’s a fine line.

In the Westminster System, Parliament and Government are not the same thing.
