Unlike the USA, tacking unrelated stuff on to bills is not how our system works, especially at the final reading, which is why loads of members abstained (all of Labour, all of the SNP, even 6/15 Lib Dems, etc).
Now, do I want it to be a criminal offence to pump literal shit in to our drinking water? Of course I do, fuck the bastards.
But please don't let yourself be tricked by this political gamesmanship.
I'd say The Canary should know better, but this sort of thing is why they are an absolute joke.
Y'know, I understand why the Canary publish this kind of misinformation. Their whole business model is based on inciting directionless outrage. What I can't understand is why people, like everyone else in this thread, keep falling for it.
My current theory is they purposefully try to cause splits in the left. There's no other reasoning for them to continue to be this bad after very nearly a decade of continually publishing utter tosh.
Yes, it's like some sort of horseshoe theory of spin. The Tories say Starmer breaks all his pledges and some people on the left reply, 'Yes, Tories! Please tell me more!' As though that's... helping?
