So .. members thoughts on Eddie Izzard the man in a dress causing all sorts of a carfuffle trying to become not only a FEMALE MP in the Labour party but one day its first FEMALE leader.. Blighty has gone bonkers with a capital K.

While the current Labour leader cannot answer a simple question on Izzard ,,or even can a women have a penis Izzard describes himself as Gender fluid .. who says you cant put lipstick on a pig.

Why is Starmer's lack of opinion salient here? What's Rishi's take? After all, he's the one chosen to lead the seated government (for the time being).

There are different ways to embrace your inner (wo)man. You of all people here should be comfortable with gender fluidity, no?

I would love all party leaders to make a comment and answer the questions on Izzard and his ridickulus plan .. but in true political style they are all too worried to comment let alone tell it as it is .. except for the fella in the last vid i posted.. just how gender fluid Izzard would go down with red wall voters in Barnsley or Donny remains to be seen..

UK Politics is a joke.. from Diane Abbacus to Hancock n now Izzard .. its a circus

Indeed Tam i am very liberal as you know .. the fluid of genders is a keen topic of mine.. alas .. i am not seeking to become an MP or a member of parliament.

Who is this Izzard fellow, and why would anyone bother to comment, or seek comment, on him?

Get back to us when he is pre-selected by Labour, and then elected to the House.

Until then, seems to be much ado about nothing.

ps speaking of misfit weirdos, didn't you just have one of them as your previous male PM?

"So until there is a VIABLE alternative then I would always prefer the Tories as opposed to Labour who are funded in part by Unions who DO NOT SPEAK for Mr and Mrs average member of the public ."

As opposed to the Conservatives who are funded almost entirely by big business corporations and multi millionaires who ALWAYS SPEAK for Mr and Mrs average member of the public

In "all my time in the UK", the majority I knew had some form of non-compulsory trade union membership. Suffice to say everyone's experiences are different but at the same time, everyone's differing experiences are equally relevant so I'll just leave that out there.

His stand-up is also eloquent and funny while being disarmingly prescient.

Talking politics always brings out the pettiness in people that is why I avoided saying anything, I will now follow my own advice and leave the children to play at being upset and petty

Dissolve parliament and invoke monarchist rule, the devine right of Camilla's handbag.
The royal prerogative.

"...in certain extreme circumstances the monarch could dissolve Parliament single-handedly, on the condition that "an occasion has arisen on which there is fair reason to suppose that the opinion of the House is not the opinion of the electors ... A dissolution is allowable, or necessary, whenever the wishes of the legislature are, or may fairly be presumed to be, different from the wishes of the nation."

How many failed attempts to govern is a seated government allowed before they heed the call from the Opposition and the electorate?

Lets see how London and the government get along this winter with no nurses, civil servants, shop workers or restaurant staff - because none of them can afford to live there.
My son was flat hunting in London this month - has finally found a place. 1400 GBP for a room .... not a flat. Rents have risen by 20-25% since last year. And he only got the place because the estate agent was Polish - so he talked to him about Poland (and he speaks a bit as well) which probably got him to the top of the list. That represents over 60% of my son's net income.

The pay increases will need to be significant - government talks about 3% - half the population will be on strike. So Rishi will need to be a magician to fix this. Trade Unions are seeing many new members.

Well the precedent is certainly there, if Charlie wants to follow Lizzies nod and a wink in 1975 in Oz. :-#

Those "certain extreme circumstances" and conditions, put into law by the 2011 Fixed Term Parliament Act have been eliminated as conditions precedent to the monarch dissolving Parliament.

The monarch's absolute right to dissolve Parliament has been restored by the 2022 Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act, which says:
The powers relating to the dissolution of Parliament and the calling of a new Parliament that were exercisable by virtue of Her Majesty’s prerogative immediately before the commencement of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 are exercisable again, as if the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 had never been enacted.
