Jenny Jones getting recognition for providing some *real* opposition in the House of Lords.

Although she and Natalie Bennett are both on record as calling for it to be reformed, while it still exists they are both using their positions to provide some real, principled, opposition to the Tories. It's sad that the 'official' opposition are often absent on that regard.

At least he's admitted it.

When challenged by young people demanding action on climate change, Kier Starmer was asked "Which side are the Labour Party on?"

Sir Keir replied: "We're on the side of economic growth".'

The Labour Party is willing to let the planet burn on the altar of "growth, growth, growth".

No surprise that Justin Tomlinson abstained.

Once again standing by and doing nothing.

Throughout the lies, the sleaze, and the complete absence of any moral fibre, Tomlinson continued to support Johnson.

Willing to sacrifice truth and principles on the altar of political gain.
