Inside the Commons - EP 3 - Party Games

We see what goes on backstage at the state opening, when the Queen comes to open the parliamentary year, including a surreal traditional search for gunpowder. Also, we meet the army of workers who struggle to keep the Commons show on the road.

This series has been great to look back at 10 years ago to see how the issues and players developed over a decade.

Good in July 2024 to be reminded where much of the rot in our country's politics started! Sad to look back today at Jenny Bone's hard work for her husband while still recovering from chemotherapy, given his later 'reward' for her by starting his long affair with a county councillor.

Aww, how endearing Rosie Winterton is. Almost makes one forget the fact she claimed so many expenses, she was close to the legal limit set out for MP’s, not least, to soundproof her apartment.

Finally, the right honorable gentleman from the 18th century has to leave the House of Commons.😅

[@a.t.c.3862]

Wa-hay!🎉

[@cassandram3354]

Why do you object to him?

[@lucaviggiani2189]

Thank heavens Rees-Mogg is no longer there and we have people with a different set of priorities in charge.

26:35 Dizzy Lizzy cameo
Side note but little Toby is adorable.

47:30 I thought this was ridiculous game-playing. “Defeating the Government for the sake of it” was a joke and demeans the House.

[@mickoneill6233]

I thought the camera man, would put the camera down for two seconds to catch the crown on the roof top!! Rather than filming it fall... luckily, it didn't...

[@Obiter3]

Smogg is living in a world of unstoppable dishonesty, still.

[@garfstiglz3981]

I love the way these wastes of space, at the time, use the term 'a career' when talking about their overpaid positions.
It's not a bloody career it's a temporay position for five years and it should be viewed as a damned privilege to represent a constituency.

[@a.t.c.3862]

Mogg-Rees is gone 😢

[@chrissheppard342]

Good, he's an idiot.

[@Paul-km9ox]

some of this is such a waste of money, why are we paying for their nursery

[@SFRZRD]

I’m honestly sick of hearing about how endearing our pomp, our traditions, our eccentric political customs and etiquette are, and how the world is fascinated by it, how it’s our soft power. I travelled 82 countries from 2018-2023 and if there’s one thing which was relatively constant across all countries - it’s that the UK is a laughing stock, clinging to its embarrassing, antiquated system as a pacifier to distract from the fact it’s a failed state.
I wouldn’t spit on it to save it from burning.

[@tsar1547]

Sorry to hear that you’re gay

[@BossySwan]

Live elsewhere then, we will manage quite well without your baseless negativity.

[@Alaois]

So gutted Penny lost her seat.

[@chrissheppard342]

She lost her seat for a good reason. Cause she is a self-serving failure.

[@askhowiknow5527]

Y’all should’ve left the EU long ago
