Politicians get paid 90K and they can't even be bothered to sit in a room for another hour in respect of the victims.

So much respect for Jeremy Corbyn. The facts are in full view, a damning indictment of how this country is governed. Change must come.

Moore-Bick’s response to this tragically prophetic warning says everything about the savage instincts of the British ruling class which the inquiry is supposed to conceal. He writes, “The TMO regarded some of the residents as militant troublemakers led on by a handful of vocal activists, principally Edward Daffarn, whose style they found offensive, ” adding, “The result was a toxic atmosphere fuelled by mistrust on both sides.”

What a filthy slander. There is no equivalence whatsoever between a campaign demanding that the basic safety and wellbeing of tenants be respected, and a management organisation indifferent to their concerns.

Also, give Moya an award for saying Lord Pickles without snickering.

The MP left the house as the bar had just

[rustynail]

I'm not holding my breath on any of this.

Pickles has a very busy day ahead those pies wont eat themselves. They close greggs for him to empty the shelves with his lords allowance.

The number of people in the House of Lords is toughly the same as the number in Belmarsh prison. So just swap 'em over. There ye go, reform done! Government is much easier than they make out, you know.

[MerlinSingh]

Good to see Moya there - I thought she had left.

[TheInnacity]

as we where reminded MPs involved in deregulation of safety and wage structure that they cannot be prosecuted while those decisions where made while in office (parliamentary privilege) . eric pickles reminds us !

[bublabasu]

Ladies Special! Good to see you both, Moya and Ash.

[wethepeople_]

one company fitted and sold the cladding, find the big boss and put him in prison for murder. how hard can it be?

[AzzieTaglauerer]

I really appreciate your work and professionalism. Your videos always stand out from the crowd.👠💫🤙

[sethsergent]

Eric Pickles HoL leader of CFoI and special envoy to Israel on his resume too...

[tophat]

It's totally inappropriate and unconstitutional for the Deputy PM to seek to interfere or influence the decisions of the CPS.

[sparking]

I've heard the phrase "justice delayed is justice denied" so many times this week, yet the inquiry process itself represents the longest delay. But what is the alternative? The police haven't got the expertise or resources to uncover the facts in the same way an inquiry such as this, the Post office, and the covid ones can. Is the delay just something we have to live with?

[facelessvaper]

I get the hair now, I did wonder. Thinking about I've done the same with my hair❤✌

Jean-Luc Mélenchon is often viewed as too extreme, lacking in progressive ideals, and not receptive to different perspectives. Many on the left find him difficult to support and did not consider him as a viable option. Someone like Lucy, or another Socialist candidate, might have been more acceptable. Living in France, it’s clear that what we should avoid at all costs is pushing centrist or center-right voters towards Le Pen. Meanwhile, Bannier is also not an ideal choice, and it seems Macron is playing a risky game with the current political landscape.

[snappycatchy]

Lord Pickles sounds like a Veggie Tales villain.

[TemplarBard]

Rayner feels overwhelmed. I feel for her. The modern world is so full of smear campaigns where you can't fight back without making it worse.
