Missed the King’s speech. That’s what happens when you’re drinking wine and deliberately turn the radio off just as it starts. #PerfectChristmas #KingsSpeech

King Charles Uses Christmas Day Message To Thank Medics For “Strength, Care And Comfort” To His Family
#News #KingCharles #Kingsspeech #RoyalFamily
Loving King Charles III's subtle dig at the far right extremists responsible for the riots in the Summer. He's right to place the focus on those who were helping to repair their communities, and listening to people from other backgrounds. #KingsSpeech

No-one has voted for a 2 child cap on Universal Credit, and no-one has voted against it, either. Quite a few commentators are wrong on this.
It was the Commons's response to the #KingsSpeech. The #ScottishNationalParty's amendment wasn't making or changing any law at all.
It was to change a thank-you note from "Thank you, Kingie." into "Thank you, Kingie, but you forgot to mention #UniversalCredit."
(Continued…) #UKPolitics @wood5y
Whilst the #ScottishNationalParty made #UniversalCredit their single opposition issue, and got the actual issue correct, the #LiberalDemocrats (as mentioned in an earlier post) erroneously referred to a "two-child benefit cap" that does not exist.
But they also laid out clearly that their Opposition platform begins with demanding more LCP Government action on GP access, social care, food strategy, rural support, sewage, school meals, and proportional representation.
The CUP abstained on every Opposition amendment except its own, and in turn got no support on its amendment except from RUL and 2 other unionists. In particular, the AP and the TUV abstained.
The GP laid out its anti-Tory shingle, voting for every Opposition amendment except for the CUP one.
And RUL did not support the SNP.
…

The opposition amendments to the Commons's response to the King's Speech make for interesting analysis.
The SNP made #UniversalCredit their single issue and got wide cross-party support from the GP, PC, the LDs, the AP, and 3 unionist parties. But none from the CUP or RUL.
The LDs's included a lot of things in theirs (more on which in a moment) but the aforesaid 3 unionists voted against and RUL voted *for* this one.
Scrap the two-child limit – John McDonnell MP on the #KingsSpeech
https://labouroutlook.org/2024/07/22/scrap-the-two-child-limit-john-mcdonnell-mp-on-the-kingsspeech/
“There is one simple act that could lift 300,000 children out of poverty this month – scrapping the two-child limit.”
The 'left' in Labour may be finding it's voice. I'm sure the usual melts in the party will be meeting to decide how to shut them up
Pressure on #KingsSpeech for #2ChildLimit to be included as an amendment mounts.
How many will rebel?

By @markhburton
The new ##UK Labour government has prioritised economic growth and sees the building of homes and infrastructure as a key tool to realise it, along with de-risking of private capital investments.
Here we explore what they are proposing and why, the problems that this could cause, and the possibility of an alternative approach.
