Lives just up the railway from me, apparently. I wonder where she stands on the great turbine and pylon wars.

Long gone from Labour, of course, but he was an actual MP. So putting him here. I lose track on this stuff. If I were basing a satirical character on straight talking Tom Harris, I'd be wanting to criticize Cooper if she did comment on Iranian protests. "Giving a green light for them to come here on boats", that sort of thing.

Karl Turner is being a pain in the arse over jury trials.

Seems like quite the fuss to make. And a pretty silly point. Nobody has ever seriously said that everything you do has to be in the manifesto.

I assume Lammy has been asked if this was something being done just to save money. If you say “yes”, that’s wrong. If you say “no”, that’s wrong too.

I really don't see the issue that much.

You're not allowed to change anything if you're a Labour Government. And if you don't immediately conjur up zillions for what's being discussed, that's "just tinkering".

Never mind the fact that these are based on recommendations from an experienced judge and KC. Karl meanwhile, has resorted to tweeting this every day.

Karl never wonders why these courts might not be sitting.

Lammy is perfectly aware of this, one supposes.

One presumes Karl didn’t run on tax increases for his modestly paid constituents.

I assume its the same as trying to put together a meeting for 3 is easier than one for 15.
