The Violent Labour MP on 11:20 - Oct 28 by Swansea_Blue | I'm pretty sure the thread is more about someone desperate for childish point scoring, rather than about some bloke thumping another. When it comes to blokes thumping each other, it does look like this MP is in the crap. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Being a cynic, I wonder if which 'side' of Labor he's on will impact the outcome. It will certainly be a factor in the public discourse around the event. And, as you say, nobody knows what happened in the lead up - although I'm struggling to think of a situation that would justify such an assault. |
Not the best role model for the HoP - where the entire point is that Govt. & Opposition benches are spaced two sword-lengths apart so that they make their cases with verbal eloquence rather than physical violence, is he! |  |

If you believe that "which side of of Labour he's on will impact the outcome" then you are indulging in similar two tier conspiracies that the OP has engage din. The case will be investigated by the police. If they deem that he has a case to answer he will be tried at court, who will reacha. verdict based on the evidence they hear. What "side of of Labour he's on" will have no bearing on the outcome. |  |

I don't think that's what Swansea quite means there to be fair I think they're suggesting their treatment from Labour will depend if they more on the Starmer side or the Corbyn end of the party, it's very easy to throw a Corbynista under the bus and put them down as a bad apple In truth, I'm not sure that will be the key decider, given Starmer's background but time will tell on that one Labour have such a stonking majority, the odd MP here and there isn't going to make much of a difference in fairness to them |  |

yes, that's how i read it, no effect on the court case, but a possibility on whether he's let back into labour after that. |  |

Quite. I don’t “believe” he will be treated differently, but do wonder (a) whether that will be an issue, given how Starmer has purged the left, and (b) think that factions in the Labour Party will be talked about, whether or not factions come into how Labour deal with it. There is certainly the potential for conspiracies to come out of this. I actually don’t think the factions will come into this, as it seems too serious. It’ll just be interesting to see if they do, imo. |  |

Having been an MP for 7 years he couldn’t be described as New wave Labour( post purge). Labour isn’t as broad a church as it used to be. |  |

I don't think Labour are as left wing as they once were, they're a lot more middle class members involved in running it at a local level than there once were and it's Conservatives with a small 'c' which tend to decide elections as we saw with Starmer getting that storming majority I don't think anyone saw the winter fuel payment fiasco coming It still makes me chuckle you'll see twitter bots claim than that this Labour Government are far left and we are heading for a police state because some racist neo-nazis and their hair brained disciples have been locked up |  |

Was it a fiasco? Or just jumped in by the right wing gutter press? Surely the blame lies with the Tories who made it necessary? Pensioners always being front of the queue because they vote blue is a separate issue. |  |

What do you mean by harsh? If you mean immediate custody, the 31% of those receiving an immediate sentence were black. |  | |  |

I think for pensioners slightly above the threshold but far from wealthy are the group that lose out, my mum being one who is also a WASPI woman But I'm certainly in agreement that wealthy pensioners should not and should never be getting a winter fuel payment |  |

The same right wing grifters who work for Gbeebies thought the heavy sentences for Just Stop Oil members were great, some even felt they weren't harsh enough but didn't like it so much when people posting some 'tweets' on their side started getting punishments |  |

The Violent Labour MP on 22:52 - Oct 27 by redrickstuhaart | Judges operate independently. Its called separation of powers. Starmer knows full well, given his background, that one does not risk prejudicing a prosecution by making comments on it before it has taken place. Reading between the lines, was what told me it was more about an objection to other convictions and punishments than it was about this incident... |
Separation of powers is a feature of the US constitution. Doesn’t apply in UK…. 😬 |  | |  |

Wrong. It is not a strict codified thing like parts of the US constitution, but it is absolutely a core principle. Courts are separate from the legislature. [Post edited 28 Oct 2024 20:15]

That’s not what was being discussed. It was probably just ignorance on the part of the original poster, but separation of peers doesn’t apply in UK. You’re conflating two different concepts. Making 2+2 to equal 5. |  | |  |

No. I am not. Separation of powers (not peers) is a well understood and recognised concept which anyone who has studied English constitutional law would understand. It is fundamental to our democracy. Parliament is sovereign. Justice is independent. |  | |  |

Uk has a fusion of powers, rather than a formal separation of powers, as in the US. You could argue that the judiciary is separate from the legislature, but this does not equate to a true separation of powers. Facts matter. |  | |  |
