UK to purchase nuclear-carrying fighter jets
The UK government is to purchase 12 new fighter jets which can be equipped with nuclear bombs, and join Nato's airborne nuclear mission.
Downing Street says the move is "the biggest strengthening of the UK's nuclear posture in a generation".
The new F-35 A jets can still carry conventional weapons, but have the option of being equipped with US-made nuclear bombs

Kemi's three demands are wicked. Starmer cannot work with her. He would lose the support of even more Labour MPs and probably junior ministers in both Houses.

@lincsgranny The Speaker has minimal (if any) power to punish/ not punlish disabled people. His function is to support the will of parliament (not the government). In fulfilling his role, the most he can do is accept the ammmendment at the time of the Second Reaading of the Bill to enable MPs halt the Bill or let it move on.

The comment in the Times this morning from Reeves that the rebellion will 'devastate' the government.
Maybe think of that before devastating disabled people's lives.
This itself is not a no confidence vote, however. Voting on/against the welfare bill does not constitute a vote of no confidence in the government. There would have to be a vote of no confidence explicitly levelled at the government in order for that to happen.
The Labour MPs opposing this bill have not necessarily opposed Starmer on other bills, and are not necessarily of the mind to call a vote of no confidence. They also have a good majority, so I think if it did come to that stage, Labour MPs would protect their own interests and vote against the motion.
This is scaremongering to try and frighten the rebels back into line. It's pretty disgusting but I don't suppose it will work if nothing else has.
The answer for Starmer is to back down and scrap the bill, engage with disabled people in a full consultation, invest in employment equality and then come back to the discussion in a year or two.If there is an election, by the way, it is very bad news for us given Reform's surge in the polls and Farage's desire to eradicate the majority of the welfare state, as well as equality legislation. Labour even in their current state are a safer option because there are so many Labour MPs trying to change the rhetoric.

You’re so right Amaya, our best chance is unfortunately Labour . I hope this removes starmer and someone less hateful replaces him

If he accepts her offer he’s basically admitting imo that he’s actually more aligned with Tory policies than Labour . Maybe if they oust him he can join the Tory’s though I doubt they’d want him

Fantastic post. Labour has the majority to anticipate two terms. A cautious and compassionate, non-rushed approach was the way to go. It could have been so different.
