    Diane Abbott: Police investigate Tory donor

    You forgot this bit of the statement for some reason. "He rang Diane Abbott twice today to try to apologise directly for the hurt he has caused her, and is deeply sorry for his remarks. He wishes to make it clear that he regards racism as a poison which has no place in public life.”

    This Lindsay Hoyle business

    I read your reference to the right, as most people probably did, as the far right British extremists. Now I've seen your later post where you correctly incude Islamists as extreme right then I apologise. I do believe MPs feel threatened & the situation in Palestine is heightening that threat...

    Citizens Assemblies

    On the surface it's a reasonable idea having a group of "ordinary" people looking at legislation but who gets to choose what evidence they see, who will pressent it & who will guide them through the process. It could be very easy to manipulate the outcome.
