If at any point after the forst 6 months. An MP has attended less then 75% of palimentary sessions. An automatic by election should happen.

Yeah so can my rather untalented dumb chihuahua. Well about 16 months as that is as long as I have had opportunity to test.
Just to be clear. They will still be lords. And si will their children.
It is the right to sit in the house that will go. Not the tittle.
As for the biggest hiredutory position. That already has no power. Just politicians still listen to it. So its those politicians we need to correct.
Given all it wants to do is life up and down.
If we make tbe huge assumption it has any idea what is happening.
Your wife is likely its actual intent.
Are these journalists actually saying anything ib support of hamas. Because is the crime they are accused of.
Protesting palistinion genocide is not supporting hamas. And to say it is would be prerty fucking racist of the police.
If you read his letter. He is useing government resorces to silance a critic of himself.
He claims it is Network Rail the engineer critisized. But over crowding laws and enforcment is a government job. His department in the case of rail.
Also the critisism thar the station is dangerouslt overcroded has already been made by the government road and rail safty department OOR. A non ministerial department under his department.
Also if he was correct he was chair of Network Rail from 2015 to 2023.
So he is very much using governmene resources and spending to restrict critisizing his own actions and roles.
Seriosly this is an extremely abusinve and narcissistic use of his power.
if they didn’t fire one engineer for doing his job. I
I am of the opinion no government minister should have the right to threaten government contracts over demads of a companies HR department on an indevidual.
And have written to my MP demanding he question the government o. This.
But if you. Read the letter. The engineer made declararions to the independent news paper.
PR is not his job. Ad engineer is not employed to make media anouncments as part of their job.
His actions were a personall choice. One I fully support.
But. Not part of his job.
If you read lord henly letter. (Linkked to in the article) the Minister is claiming this engineer is critisizing the companies clienr network rail.
This is false. He is commenting on train ovee crowding. This is not a network rail task. The tracks are their job.
It is instead a government job.
One they follow for animal welfare. As trains have limits for transporting animals.
No such laws exist for human transport.
So it is very very much the ministers department and parliment the enlgineer is critisizing. And a clear freedom of speach issue.
Please everyone write to your MP insisteing they question the government on this.
Yep tuis is the history of cars.
The UK was the leader in the 50s. Changed to US cars in the 70s. Due to better (more reliable) byild quality and cheaper build standards. Then to japan again more reliable and cheaper.
China is on cheaper and reliability is catching up. Given priority changes and tech changes. Its ti be wxpected.
Nor can anyone in government make such decisions.
While parliment is sovereign. It can only overrode government if it votes as a majority to do so.
Translation. When one MP or a small group. Ask questions about security. One minister cannot answer it without breaking the law.
IE corbyn needs the majority of parliment to force any minister to release information on spying.
As much as I disagree on the actions over gaza. It is not reasonable to expect any government member to answer such questions without full parliamentary support.
Time to write to your MPs. Any party.
And demand parliament insists the government fires him.
Let's face it. Even if this employee was talking out of his arse. Raising concerns over safety should never be a firable offence.
And any minister who insists on it. Is in no way representing the people.
When you then add. A government minister useing a threat of refusing national contracts. Unless its HR department acts based on his own feelings.
If ministers want the ability to punish individual utility workers. Nationalise the companies. Then at least the government is responsible for the consequences of such actions.
This is clearly an abuse of power.
Write to your MPs and demand they question the governmwnt about the legitimacy of these actions.
Wonder how many millions would have to sign a partition. Before the government recognises nationalised water is a public desire.
They ain't listening. They just think it was done the wrong way.
Completely ignoring the fact, remainers told them all the promises were mutually exclusive. So 0 majority existed for any single way.
So what ever they consider the correct way. Would have lost the ref if stated at the time.
