Still should not be permitted to vote, If they cannot get their points across by oratory and logic then they have failed. Plus being a MP, Peer or assembly member is a full-time job. If they have spare time then they should be out campaigning.

Parliamentarians should only be allowed to wait upon all Federal committees, they must attend but should only have a casting vote when there is deadlock.

Suspect that such a motion will go the way of F4 this conference

Thank you. Wish the office would issue email invites to Stewards, FPC, FCC, The feral board, other Federal officers and all Parliamentary members and staff, before inviting all other people to apply.

You didn't need to do it. Either you know the answers or the teacher failed to teach it. All homework is a denial of your automery.

Thank you. The prints enhance the excellent beers that we can drink in The Bailey Head. (Open Tuesday to Sunday) see untapped for times.

Because USA citizens ask for St Paul's Church they are surprised that they are sent to Covent Garden or Deptford instead of that Wren place with a Dome.

Seems about the correct price for a pint of Kopra or Lumina in The Bailey Head. There are less expensive beers like Station Bitter at Β£4.20

Obvious route would be alongside/underneath the Cambrian Railways from Whitchurch to Welshpool. The whole route is brownfield land so less damage the environment. It could also sort out the A483 crossing near Sweeney(remove the level crossing and put the trains and the cables underneath the A483.)

The decision to ban puberty blockers across the UK, by the Westminster Labour Government and the Northern Ireland Executive, is incredibly distressing and dangerous. Putting thousands of young trans people at immense risk.


We have seen young trans people scale buildings, march in the streets, and camp outside England’s Department for Education, for days on end. And for almost a hundred days, left paper coffins outside the constituency office of the UK’s Health Secretary, Labour MP Wes Streeting, warning him of the dangers of a ban.Β 


And despite urgent pleas by trans people. It was ignored. The inhumanity of weaponising the healthcare of marginalised young people, putting lives at risk, is unforgivable.

As justification, decision makers keep pointing to the Cass Review, which has been previously condemned by medical organisations, and ourselves. It has been found to be poorly researched and cherry-picked for political purposes; its scientific literacy is on the level of the anti-vax movement. The review, we note, is deeply ableist towards neurodiverse trans young peopleβ€”further pathologising and infantilising them, clearly ignoring the principle of Gillick Competency.


We have seen the review being biased against trans people, favouring the opinions of conversion therapists over trans communities.

The review recommends forcing patients to engage in a medical trial to access a treatment for which there is over 40 years of evidence in favour of its overwhelming safety. These trials would be grossly unethical and medically incompetent. The proposal of double-blind tests goes against any standard practice for a medical trial of this kind.


The pseudo-scientific decision of an unqualified, non-clinician, to impose a ban on accessing essential healthcare is already a dangerous precedent to set, with other potential long-term ramifications for the continued safety and independence of our NHS systems from politicisation.

Additionally, the undermining of Scottish and Welsh devolution by the UK Labour Government – by making a unilateral decision without consulting the devolved Health Secretaries and Parliaments – further erodes the already strained relationships of the public with the UK Government, as well as their health security under Westminster.


We call on Wes Streeting and the UK Labour government as a whole, and progressive parties in the Northern Ireland Executive, to both condemn, and reverse this ban immediately. We also demand that the UK Government commit to working with the devolved nations, rather than using or imposing upon them.


To the young trans people reading this, we hear you, and we will push as hard as we can, as you deserve better than this.

I had a useful meeting with Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood today to make the case for finally sorting out the A483 on the Shropshire-Wales border.

We all know that action is overdue. National Highways have some sensible plans - now we just need the Government to back them up.
