She is not from the North East.
She might be a Charlton fan as she is the Walthamstow MP and has spent quite a bit of time in that there London, though Charlton isn't the most local team.
Anyway, it's always good to have an excuse to post this

Got to be better than Grayling who has had more side ways movement than Adam Clayton.

She has just become my favourite MP as well. Never seen that before but anybody who loves The Wedding Present is ok in my book.
Always liked her this just moves her to the top of my list. As you said Lefty the playlist is good as well. To be honest she could have made her way to the TOTP's just by including Tracey Thorn and Joni Mitchell but FFS she had Tellison in there as well.

Another example of the disregard Johnson has for parliamentary democratic process and his slide ever more towards a Presidential figure and treating the U.K. as a republic, regardless of who the Prime Minister is they should have no role in trying to interfere with votes to allow their favourites into positions of influence instead of those judged by their peers as best suited, clumsy, despotic and disrespectful it will be interesting to see whether he tries to find a Parliamentary loop hole to overthrow Lewis and get Grayling in.

I follow her on Twitter and I've had some lovely exchanges over the last few years. I remember she made a comment about one of the irritating Tory Brexit MP's, can't remember if it was Boris, Mogg, Francois or Fabricant and I tweeted 'are you saying everyone thinks he looks daft'? and she
back. She also thanked Weddoes fans for helping to keep her going during some of the long excruciating brexit debates and turmoil in Parliament with their tweets.

Andy Burnham seems to have some good taste too.
'Former Culture Secretary Andy Burnham declared The Stone Roses 1989 debut “the best album ever” when he penned an essay to accompany the record’s 20th anniversary re-release in 2009. '
And here is Burnham and Creasy giving David Gedge a tour of Parliament.

As much as I like Burnham I suspect he’s have picked a different band if he was Mayor of Liverpool. They’d still be a good one mind

Maybe. Creasy is no fool or fake though, so I doubt she'd allow Burnham along with her to show Gedge around if she wasn't satisfied he had credibility in the music taste department.

Funny isn't it? We need to leave the EU because of those "unelected" bureaucrats. But the same people throw their toys out the pram and have a tantrum when forced to accept certain positions in government have to be voted for.
Bet you can barely breath in those cabinet meetings due to the stench of hypocrisy.

How did you manage to bring Brexit into this?

Seems to me that they've replaced the imaginary thing they were complaining about with reality.

How did I manage to bring brexit into a thread about a government who's main reason for being is brexit? Yeah tenuous I know, but somehow I've managed it.

Why not bring up Covid? Or the Austerity?
There was a referendum, the outcome was we leave the EC, as Tony Benn, Scargill and Corbyn shouted for

Because those things weren't relevant to the point I was making re: hypocrisy?
Look sounds like you have more of an issue with brexit than I do.
You won, rejoice, bask in your victory, look forward to post brexit nirvana etc and let us petty remainers have our little digs at the b***ds behind it. Makes us feel better and no skin off your nose surely? Unless deep down you think we might have a point and don't want to keep being reminded of it?

The referendum was advisory and so didn't require a supermajority, however the minute the result was announced it was pounced upon as the final decision. You probably know all this though because it's been discussed many times on here.

He probably knows it and is quite happy to ignore it. Obviously getting worried it will not deliver what he expected.
