You have gone native on here?

Where’s my right wing comrade gone?!?!

I just don’t rate Boris and his crew mate. I don’t think the Conservatives are Conservatives anymore. Probably similar or how some labour voters don’t feel that labour are labour anymore. I think both parties have changed so much over the last 25 odd years.

Agreed, and as NPE and others have pointed out, this boris bunch are not that conservative....not sure how to describe them, but it sounds like, "tankers".

Sleepy Joe Biden calling out China and Russia for not sending leaders to Glasgow.

Where does the ja606 massive stand on that one?

Could argue it both ways. It's bad for the global cause that they didn't attend. Sets the wrong image and stops a untied effort to reduce carbon emissions.

At the same time, it could be argued that COP26 is all about image and for show. They will be little of substance coming out of it. Calling out other leaders is just for show to take the focus away from the missed targets and empty promises of all the attendees.

Grim reporting on it from Kunessberg. Referring to it as a “calculation” with no self reflection on calling it as such is another data point in the largely woeful BBC interactions with the Conservative government.

TBAB with his usual whatabotery. Everyone stop discussing our corrupt government, TBAB wants to fill a page about Biden, Russia and China for some reason

AFP: Global CO2 emissions mainly caused by burning fossil fuels are set to rebound in 2021 to levels seen before the Covid pandemic, according to an assessment that served as a "reality check" to vague decarbonisation pledges at a UN climate summit

This is indefensible stuff.

Brexit voters wanted to give these guys more power into their few greedy hands.

How can you have a hope of an egalitarian society when you have lords, knights and a monarchy that and a political body that just shapes laws and conventions to their own ends.

This is a FACKING disgrace.

100% this, if the called a virtual COP then the deniers would be out saying “not even important enough for you to meet face to face”

Is this just another little test of the waters?

“Let’s see how far we can go and what we can get away with…”

Honestly, if people don’t turn on the corrupt bunch of grifters now, exactly what is it going to take? Are they simply untouchable?

"Owen Paterson and a fair number of MPs are really cross about how his case was handled, how long it dragged on, and the seriousness of the punishment he faces - but it's quite something for govt to use the occasion suddenly to try and rip up the rules" https://t.co/aGxvtB7Yqb

Really cross the process was delayed at his request, was a cross party investigation that was unanimously agreed by all, even the tory MPs

Seriousness of the punishment 30 day suspension ffs

She's awful, even now she's a Tory mouthpiece

I’ll give these Tory MPs one thing: they’ve got some absolutely ginormous facking testicles on them pulling this stunt openly and unashamedly in front of the British public.

Two fingers up at the electorate.

They control the press pretty much. They know they can do this, ride out the criticisms for a few days and then change the agenda so its forgotten about.

What really wound me up about it yesterday was seeing this:

"Some Tory MPs are deeply unhappy about this - senior backbencher says, it's 'invidious..it's horrible to be bullied into an action you know is wrong'"

They're MPs ffs, they should grow a damn spine and vote for what they think is right, not just what the party tells them to do.

It isn’t even about growing a spine; it’s about showing an ounce of moral fortitude, telling the whips to go fack themselves, and resigning from the party.

Every single MP that voted in favour yesterday has endorsed this corruption. There is no valid excuse.

"We could slip into being a corrupt country," says Lord Evans, chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, after yesterday's controversial vote.

"People are looking at us and we can't assume our good name will be maintained."

Errrr, COULD??

And good name we are the ass crack of Western Europe ffs

Unfortunately, they would likely lose the whip.

I think the government set their stall out when they removed the whip from Sir Nicholas Soames when he voted against the government a few years back. Which was something like the second or third time he had done so in 40 odd years.

At least its got climate change off the top of the news.

This is what happens when a party get an 80 seat majority they can do what they like.

Its now up to the electorate to say we are not having this at the next GE.

Because Paterson's indiscretions, and the Government's subsequent actions, deserve considerably more media coverage than the future of the planet.

Sounds like govt maybe about to ditch all this … watch Jacob Rees Mogg in Commons in a moment or two… understand plans for new process won’t go ahead now and won’t apply to Paterson case after backlash
