Looks like that drunk and fruitcake believer Tom Watson is soon to be kicked from the deputy leadership by Momentum. Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Sep 2019 10.52pm) 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Harman, was an official in the 'National Council for Civil Liberties'. alongside her husband who became a Labour front bench MP and Patricia Hewitt, a former Labour Cabinet minister under Tony Blair, and they all worked for the council in the 1970s. In 1975, the campaign group – which lives on today as human rights watchdog Liberty – granted official “affiliate” status to the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), a body which lobbied openly for child sex.

Edited by Stirlingsays (21 Sep 2019 12.00am) I don't care for Harriet Harman however I was more interested in the constitutional issue rather than the individual when I posted the link. For some voters having their MP as speaker is a good thing. However Harman's own local party are not happy because they want an MP that plays an active role in party politics and so the role of speaker actually disenfranchises the voters. I wonder how the voters of Buckinghamshire feel about Bercow. None of the other major parties stood against him so his re-election was almost automatic since he took the job. The Speakers role is important but on reflection I would not like my MP to do it. Edited by Badger11 (21 Sep 2019 7.34am) One more point
