The fixed term parliaments act and anything like it is just meaningless anyway. An act of parliament cannot bind a future parliament. They can just say "The [blank] act notwithstanding, we do the thing the [blank] act says we couldn't do", with a simple majority.

So even if you have an act that says "You need a 2/3rds majority to do [thing]", you can just have a simple majority vote to say that doesn't count anymore.

while this is true, there are enough traditionalists in the Tory party that they'd vote against Rishi trying to make himself dictator for life

Watching that Adam Curtis / Martin Sheen drama 'The Way' and gotta say, it's pretty terrible.

I do like The Welsh Catcher though, driving around border towns with a big zoo cage full of Welsh people on the bed of his truck.

is this what President Bartlet ends up doing

Galloway is a dickhead but I can't deny that I find watching him run rings round the kind of decorum-brained journos who think "don't you respect the Prime Minister" is some sort of gotcha question highly entertaining

* Increase public spending (people here tend to talk as if the Blair government cut spending: it actually rose from about £400m in 1997 to about £750M in 2013 in real terms, i.e. after inflation, then very slowly fell until 2018 or so).

Rachel Reeves has already said that public spending won’t increase.

On an entirely different track of outrage - Lembit “Cheeky Girls” Opek has been whining for a whole day about perceived “sex acts” in the UK performance



Lembit needs a dictionary if he thinks something can be both “inferred” and “explicit” at the same time
