Very useful questions and answers for STEM issues

Very useful questions and answers for STEM issues

Back on Monday Sheryll Murray, the Conservative MP for South East Cornwall began with the first couple of questions and the Minister who responded was Jonathan Gullis who was a Minister for Education. The other MP who took part was Meg Hillier who is the Labour MP for Hackney South and Shoreditch. The opening question from Sheryll was “What steps his Department is taking to attract science,…

The positives of the UK election result include:

The Conservatives (Tories) gone from government and 100s out of parliament including such scum as Rees-Mogg, '15 minute' former PM Liz Truss, Coffey, Gullis, and Shapps.

There are no Tories left in Wales.

Former Tory MP Jonathan Gullis is not taking it well.

There's 3 new Green MPs, Diane Abbot retained her seat, Jeremy Corbyn retained his seat and is joined by four other pro-Gaza independent MPs.

Jonathan Ashworth (Labour) lost his seat to one of the pro-Gaza independents, Shockat Adam.

Right-wing Labour MPs Jess Phillips and Wes Streeting came within a few hundred votes of almost losing their seats to pro-Gaza independents.

The Paisley's (DUP) are gone from Northern Ireland (though his TUV replacement isn't any better)

Anti-trans campaigner Posie Parker lost her deposit (only 196 votes). The trans candidate Sophie Molly running for the same seat won more votes than Parker.

Also, some key anti-trans MPs have lost their seats:

The Reform Party (pretty much Nazis) did not win the 13 seats they were initially projected to win based on the exit polls (and some of the worst estimates before the election had them gaining up to 60+ seats)

The dubious Workers Party GB got nowhere, and lost their only seat (goodbye Galloway).

-

The negative results:

The SNP lost most of their seats.

The Reform Party (basically just Nazis) won 4 seats. This includes millionaire and Trump lover Nigel Farage, now MP for Clacton-on-Reich. So the frog faced fascist is going to parliament (apologies to actual frogs) after decades of failing to get in.

And it's no good anyone pretending that it's only 4 seats, it doesn't matter: the really disturbing part is that Reform - a party led by xenophobes, racists, and homophobes - received just over 4 million votes nationwide.

Taking down Reform and Farage needs to be an antifascist priority.

Outdoor portrait of 74 Driver (Dvr) Jonathan Carr Comyns, 2nd Field Ambulance, of Windsor, Vic. A carpenter prior to enlistment, he embarked from Melbourne on HMAT Wiltshire (A18) on 19 October 1914. Dvr Comyns is receiving a French Croix de Guerre from King George V. According to the recommendation "On the 25 April and following days under very heavy rifle and shell fire rendered conspicuous service collecting wounded on the beach and in gullies. Consistant bravery and great endurance in removing wounded from 8 - 16 May. On 10 May, after other bearers were exhausted he continued to remove wounded single handed.

Well, if you’re just joining us, the nation has delivered an all-night victim impact statement. Labour has won a landslide and the Conservatives have suffered their worst ever general election result. Keir Starmer – the prime minister – has promised “national renewal … to fight until you believe again”. Liz Truss has failed to save South West Norfolk, let alone “the west”. That is the big picture (if not the whole picture, with turnout and Labour’s vote share notably low). Meanwhile, it’s incredible to think that only a short while ago we thought we’d eradicated measles and Nigel Farage. Both have now been brought back, largely by the same people.

But look, after the 3am to 7am shift, no one will be able to say the right doesn’t do comedy. There were moments worthy of entire Netflix specials as in sports halls and community centres various Dickensian grotesques were ushered into their Christmas future, live on stage. Alas, it was going to take more than buying the Cratchits a turkey to get out of this one. Jacob Rees-Mogg heard his fate standing next to a candidate wearing a baked bean balaclava. He’ll be crying into Nanny’s starched bosom today. Committed sewage apologist Thérèse Coffey was pumped into the sea in Suffolk Coastal. Andrea Jenkyns had the middle finger given to her by the voters of Morley and Outwood. In Welwyn Hatfield, Grant Shapps chanted “supermajority” five times into the mirror, and then it came for him.

Then again, Michael Portillo losing his seat was supposedly 1997’s big moment. So perhaps the question is: in two years’ time, which current hate figure will be presenting a cosy travelogue on Europe’s most picturesque illegal migration routes? Alternatively, do remember that one person’s onstage humiliation is another person’s milk round for directorships in the arms trade.

Speaking of absolute weapons, hat twat George Galloway wimped out of his own count in Rochdale, presumably out of fatigability. He lost to Labour. There was jubilation for the Lib Dems, who finished not a million miles behind “the natural party of government”, and for the Greens, who won all four of their target seats. The SNP can now squeeze its MPs round the flip-down dining table of a motorhome. Referendum arguments may move to Northern Ireland, with Sinn Féin now that nation’s largest Westminster party.

As for Reform … Farage won in Clacton, a constituency for which he will now have to hold surgeries, presumably by Zoom link from his hot desk in the US presidential colon. Or as he put it in his victory speech: “This is the first steps of something that is going to stun all of you” – at least confirming his political abattoir will be bolt-gunning its victims unconscious first. Farage is the horror version of Inside Out, where Mendacity is only just holding off Racism at the control console. His cultural hinterland extends to a single Goodbye, Mr Chips DVD he got free with the Sunday Times in 2008, and the idea that this hollow chancer should still be one of the most significant politicians of the age says everything about the age.

Anyway, back to the Conservatives’ four-hour in-memoriam reel. Penny Mordaunt, Jonathan Gullis, Michael Fabricant, Gillian Keegan, Steve Baker, Alex Chalk, Johnny Mercer, Michelle Donelan, Victoria Prentis, Liam Fox, Mark Harper … all out, along with many more. So many cabinet ministers fell that the ones who live may actually develop survivor guilt. It’s currently unclear how gruesome things will be among the extant Conservatives in this post-apocalyptic world. As a fictional president once wondered of Dr Strangelove, will the living not end up envying the dead? Far from it, Strangelove reassures him, forcing down an involuntary Nazi salute. What will abound is a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!

Speaking of which, 13th fairy Suella Braverman finally turned up, holding on in Fareham and cooing: “I am sorry that my party didn’t listen to you. The Conservative party has let you down.” Expect to see her humbly attempting to disembowel fellow survivors Jeremy Hunt and James Cleverly in the forthcoming trial-by-combat for what convention demands we style as “the soul of the Conservative party”.

At his count, Rishi Sunak explained he’d already conceded the election in a congratulatory call to Keir Starmer, adding, “I take responsibility for the loss.” In Downing Street, he confirmed he would be standing down as Tory leader in some sort of due course, stressing, “I have heard your anger.” Then, instead of yet another speech straight from the Tortured Prime Minister’s Department, this one offered humility and magnanimity, as well as a pointed reminder of the positive (and fragile?) progress that saw him become the UK’s first British-Asian prime minister. What a contrast to the relentless negativity of his past six weeks. Sunak’s campaign was conducted like a gender-reveal party where the device that’s meant to release the puff of blue smoke accidentally functions as a pipe bomb and burns the house down.

It also closed out several years of mindboggling chaos, dysfunction and national decline. They won’t be playing anything from this album on the Conservative party’s Eras tour. The Tories have cycled through five prime ministers over the past eight years, to the point where they were recently found going through the rubbish, pulling the first guy back out, thinking, “Actually, he doesn’t look half bad now,” and making him foreign secretary. This is the behaviour of addicts.

Not that they have the monopoly on erraticism. Any dispassionate view of these results suggests the fabled post-Brexit “realignment” is more of a dealignment – the huge sweeping gains of this or that political moment able to be reversed in previously unthinkable timespans. Volatility might now be our defining electoral characteristic, and a rise in sectarian politics cannot and should not be ignored. Because hey – what’s the worst that can happen with that one? Meanwhile, many people who derided the simplistic “Get Brexit done” slogan in 2019 have pretended not to notice that the winner here went out under the even more gnomic banner of “Change”.

Yet in the wider global context, what a win. One summer evening in 1914, the foreign secretary, Edward Grey, famously remarked: “The lamps are going out all over Europe.” In our own times, a darkening has recently felt at hand, as hard- or extreme-right parties have gained ground across the continent, to say nothing of the US. But here – in this country, in this moment – a different direction has been taken. That matters today, and anyone not on the wingnut fringes, who hopes to avoid those gathering shadows, should wish Keir Starmer good luck with his task. For plenty who would snuff out the lamps are also rising – increasingly, they walk among us.

I know that Starmer is his own kettle of horseshit, but let me savour this death knell of 14 years of horseshit. (And Jonathan Gullis, the pro-nonce MP for my dad's constituency, is gone! Fucking yes!)

Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s severe maladministration finding by the Housing Ombudsman

The Secretary of State for Levelling up, Housing and Communities (Rt Hon Michael Gove MP) has written to Stoke-on-Trent City Council following a finding of severe maladministration by the Housing Ombudsman. The details of the letter are shown below :- I write following a finding of severe maladministration by the Housing Ombudsman, for your failure to respond, on two separate occasions, to a stage one complaint. Your failure left a resident and her two vulnerable children in a home with damp and mould. In this case, your resident did not receive a formal response to her stage one complaint, which concerned your failure to act on the damp and mould in her property. The resident raised her complaint again after the problem persisted, and she again received no formal response. It was only after the Ombudsman was forced to intervene that you responded to the resident, but you still did not address fully the issues she had raised. You also failed to act in accordance with the Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code. Your inaction left your resident and her two vulnerable children in damp and mouldy conditions. This is unacceptable. You failed to provide the level of service your residents should expect to receive. This is deeply disappointing. When your residents report an issue, especially when vulnerable people are involved, it should be acted upon swiftly and effectively. The tragic case of Awaab Ishak has shown that we must not be complacent about issues that have the potential to damage residents’ health. I have been clear that social housing residents must be able to put their trust in their landlords to provide a decent home and deal with complaints swiftly and effectively. The Social Housing Regulation Act is bringing in a tough new regulatory regime to support this Government’s commitment to driving up standards and holding landlords accountable for providing social housing residents with decent homes.   I expect the changes you are implementing to make a significant difference to the service you deliver to your residents. I will be taking a personal interest in how your organisation continues to deliver its responsibilities to its residents. I am copying this letter to Jonathan Gullis MP, Jack Brereton MP, Jo Gideon MP, Councillor Jane Ashworth, and Councillor Daniel Jellyman, the Select Committee for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, and the Housing Ombudsman.
