    Kinnock became leader as a reaction to Michael Foot. He then showed himself to be an unelectable idiot (which is why he is now still something major and unelected in the EC), so the equal and opposite reaction (as Isaac Newton would say) was to elect the acceptable face of Socialism in John...

    Maybe when Brighton said "nor have i argued for the scrapping of gender segregation in physical sports" he (i assume it is a he, but might not be) meant sex segregation. What's a DSD? Not aware of that acronym. Thanks

    I know Spain does, and France does too (but is trying to fast-track applications from UK ex-pats currently living there). Don't know about others, but i suspect might be the majority.

    They brought it in for the 2014 independence referendum as it was deemed to be "their future" they were voting on. Don't know/care about Scottish Parliamentary elections, but they won't be allowed to vote in an election to the UK parliament. Woman on 5Live (Anna Foster) asked the SNP's Brexit...

    Hurrah - i already like Lindsay Hoyle (Deputy Speaker, and likely to be throwing his hat into the ring when that biased twat Bercow fucks off. He has NOT selected the amendments on lowering the voting age or allowing EU nationals to vote. He's just allowing the process of the main election bill...

    Remember the second reading of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill had a majority of 30 last Monday, which is when they started buggering about talking about dates of elections, etc. Since then, Parliament has done precisely the square root of fuck-all in terms of deciding on ANYTHING related to what...

    I absolutely agree Clint. This is too big an issue to be nodded through as an amendment without it being a manifesto "pledge" at least.

    OK, but only if they have indefinite leave to remain (5 years proven residency), otherwise they are potentially just itinerant labour or health tourists.

    Much of the "gender neutral" toilet .... hmmmm .... "debate", let's call it arose from the decision taken by a state in America (one of the Carolinas, i think) who dictated that people must use the public toilet facilities appropriate to their sex at birth (i.e. not their gender, or what they...

    Comment on the BBC News website on this article asking "Is Jeremy Corbyn the most ineffectual opposition leader ever?" They are clearly too young to remember Neil Kinnock!

    I'm in the safety profession. Fire safety isn't my specialism, although i have taken an interest in this, and discussed with a number of experts (including those who provide fire safety advice to the construction industry). As for criminal negligence, do you mean that it was negligent not to...

    The concrete core of the building structure should have been (and is normally) adequate to limit the speed of the fire spread, thus enabling a structured evacuation (with the majority of people being able to stay put). This makes blocks like Grenfell actually quite safe, particularly if they...

    Semenya is genetically female, and should be allowed to compete with other females, provided it can be demonstrated that her testosterone levels are natural (there is a great deal of natural variation in testosterone levels in both men and women). Anyone who is genetically male (no matter how...

    39 dead in lorry in Essex

    They must think they have evidence of earlier involvement by him. His picking up of a trailer in which they have probably already died is not causing their death
