Never mind all this tax credit nonsense, the real story has come from Whitby, where a former Labour town councillor saved the world by preventing the Illuminati from using the Large Hadron Collider from opening a portal to another dimension.

The government has announced a review into the workings of Parliament after its Lords defeat over tax credit cuts.
Downing Street said it would examine "how to protect the ability of elected governments to secure their business".
It will consider "how to secure the decisive role of the elected Commons in relation to its primacy on financial matters and secondary legislation".
David Cameron has said the Lords decision to defy the Commons over tax credits raises "constitutional issues".
The review, to be led by former leader of the House of Commons Lord Strathclyde, comes as Tory MPs continue to express anger at the House of Lords' decision to vote to delay cuts to tax credits and to compensate those affected in full.

Back in 2008 it was £30 a pot must be around £35 a pot now. I think I shall stick with the classic pot noodle thank you.

Shameless posting. :03: :haha:

Corbyn seems to be getting the hang of this PMQs lark, he kicked Dave into the kerb today, asking him over five times if Tax Credit cuts would leave people worse off and getting no reply each time. He also provided a nice soundbite for the media "It's not a constitutional crisis, it's a crisis for three million families" and he seems to have evolved a nice little death glare he gives the rowdy ministers when interrupted:

Cameron will have to spell it all out eventually and my guess is it will be next month.

She cannot do a thing that is not UK Labour policy - the Electoral Commission states that it would be illegal for an accounting unit of a party to do so (and ScotLab is an accounting unit).

It's shocking really - a good opposition is vital, or at least an effective one is. Did you see the reaction Kezia got on QT this week.

I would point out, for the non-British amongst us, that booing would show that you at least care enough to object. Total silence is a death sentence, frankly: because if you are watching it makes you embarassed, which is a major crime and the silence means that you can't apologise to the other person.

Sorry.
