The BBC article on this says she hasn't spoken in the Commons for over a year. She's just collecting money at this point.

Last spoke in parliament 7th July 2022, 3 written statements since. Last voted end of April.

There was something about this a few weeks ago, though I suspect it might have been a Twitter pile-on after Andrew Neil suggested Mhairi Black was the laziest MP.

Yes, read that earlier. There's a few things where it seems he's grasping at straws and showing no leadership qualities whatsoever. I'd still be semi-surprised if he's still leader by whatever date the next election is though I suspect none of them will put any letters in. Well done world. Maybe.


Like I said yesterday, grasping at straws and no leadership whatsoever.

From the Guardian live reporting ...

Sunak signals he will struggle to meet NHS promise - but blames health workers

Rishi Sunak has signalled he will struggle to achieve two of his five priorities: to halve inflation by the end of the year and to reduce NHS waiting lists in England, which he blamed on striking workers.

MPs can be recalled under three circumstances:

Conviction in the UK of any offence and sentenced or ordered to be imprisoned or detained, after all appeals have been exhausted. Note – a sentence over 12 months in jail automatically disqualifies someone from being an MP;
Suspension from the House following report and recommended sanction from the Committee on Standards for a specified period (at least 10 sitting days, or at least 14 days if sitting days are not specified);
Convicted of an offence under section 10 of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009 (making false or misleading Parliamentary allowances claims). Note – the sentence does not have to be custodial for this condition.

No grounds for recall:

I wondered if that might be the limiting factors. I mean she's not turned up to work for 14 months now.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.

1) Number of electoral college votes Democrats get
2) Party to win the Senate (Democrat or Republican)
