Those ruddy foreigners must be pissing themselves at us
Totally agree. The whole set up is archaic and confrontational. Facing each other. Voting by walking through separate 'lobbies'. Blackrod etc. History and ceremony is one thing, but about time they migrated out of that ridiculous building into something more suitable for a modern democratic society.

Had it been said from the Conservative side, Labour would have been going absolutely bonkers. They really are the biggest bunch of hypocrites there is.

If they'd called Corbyn any sort of woman they'd have every right to.
My wife is an early years teacher she watched that shower of MPs unacceptable general behaviour most of them not just the odd 1 or 2, followed by the comment the 2 to 4 year olds she teaches are far better behaved.
When you watch the MPs conduct them selves in the chamber there is no wonder we are in all kinds of a mess with Brexit which ever side you believe to be right.

Foc that, can you imagine the amount of money they would spend on something more sensible? It would go massively over budget then be found not fit for purpose !

Yes. But its not just the buildings ans sytem, its the MPs too. To be elected, you must belong to one of the two main parties, the people dont want to elect independents. That may be the system since parliament raised the cost of standing to £10k. Got to be the only workplace in the UK with subsidised bars on the premises, and its normal to turn up for work bladdered

Thats normal for all government contracts. What till the bill drops through the letter box for HS2. I confidently predict at least 10 times estimates
