I'd agree that should be the case. I'd also like to see a general election after each change of prime minister. |

I suspect it's a bigger issue now because the donor is Lord Alli.
Ignoring the obvious reason why the Mail, Sun, Express and GB News don't like him he also wants to reform the press. Apparently to remove political bias amongst other things. They're loving this. |

I think the issue is that this wouldn't have been a story 6 months ago.
It's not right, it's not against the rules but it should be. This kind of thing has been happening for years at all levels of politics and shouldn't have been. Just look at local councillors declarations. |

That's the problem. People aren't interested. The Senedd wouldn't be in existence if they were.
Both those issues have been clearly put to the public who either weren't interested or voted for them to be implemented. Exactly the same for the 20 mph.
Labour in Wales can do what they want because they'll be elected, if they fall slightly short in terms of numbers then Plaid will support them because they're basically the same.
I can see reform doing well under the new system but not well enough to make a difference.
I'd love to see a new centrist, anti-devolution and anti-independence emerge it would take generations to make a difference but I'd probably even consider getting politically involved with them.
We desperately need an alternative who aren't idiots. |

The expansion was in the manifesto they were elected to deliver. As was the 20mph speed limit. |

Lucky bugger I'd say. She gets £91k a year, a good MP should earn more than that. |

It's up to him really.
He's doing a difficult job, one that deserves more than £166k a year.
I wouldn't do it if I was worth £15 million. |

Yep. Including all the guff they get added on for offices etc.
No accommodation expenses, they can stay in a travel lodge if they live far enough away from Westminster. Their staff should be paid as civil servants not from MPs expenses. Similar for travel and all that. It's how the civil service runs, and they are civil servants.
I wouldn't do their job for what they get at the moment.
The PM gets similar to a director level in Swansea council and. An MP similar to someone at management level. It's nuts.
Put it this way. If this was the situation Caroline Harris would not be earning £91k a year. The |

It's nothing new. It shouldn't be allowed full stop. Labour should be ashamed.
But the Tories did worse, wallpaper, BJ holidaying at the Goldsmith's place, accepting donations from racists, Jenrick and his recent donations.
No gifts, no lobbying, no second jobs just pay them what they deserve.
Which probably needs to be more |

If that was the other way around and Musk was British and the Summit was in the states there's no way he'd have been invited.
The fella is a nutcase. Albeit an incredibly rich one unfortunately. |

Terre a Terre Brighton. It's a veggie restaurant and I'm not a veggie. It's incredible.
A few visits with one poor experience, would have complained when the bill turned up but they recognised the issue before the bill arrived and took 50% off and gave us a bottle of wine to take away.
Brighton is a great place. I'd move there if I could afford it. |

No it wasn't. It's as I said it was.
The relevant director in NPT tried to bend over backwards to get it built.
The Senedd could have done more but Justice isn't devolved.
This early prisoner release cannot be blamed in anyway at labour |

But we also need to jail others and repeat offenders for longer.
I've said before, I'd advocate an aggregate of sentences and no release for good behaviour. If your sentence is 2 years you serve 2 years if your behaviour is good, if not you serve longer.
You commit another crime you do the 2 years again before the new sentence starts.
Community service has to count, but all they have to do really is turn up sit on a wall and smoke. |

It could be a useful excuse for a u turn if nothing else.
The lack of an impact assessment is a big concern. This policy has clearly been rushed through. |

They didn't really, it was a useful excuse.
The land earmarked had restrictions on it relating to it's use. WG and Westminster had a falling out over it, Westminster said they'd find a different location and then didn't.
Apparently one of the largest number of early releases has been from Cardiff. |

Because there's nowhere else to put them.
We need more prisons. That's not Labours fault. If we don't see some plans to increase capacity by the end of this parliament then Labour can take some blame. |

Labour should really have built a few more prisons over the last 10 weeks. What the hell have they been doing! |
