Politicians looking at a phone is disrespectful to the chamber and the institution. It is called parliament and not readiment or the sort for a reason. In agreement with Rory’s comment, we can not expect kids to act a certain way, if “leading adults” are not able to.
One could argue that a good many parents should be banned from using mobile phones. On several occasions I’ve seen parents paying far more attention to their phones than their children. When I was teaching, I also experienced a few occasions when parents sent their children messages that needed a response during times they knew their children were in class.

There's a guy called Tim Buck who kicked off a bit of a row by complaining that the official translations of Thomas Mann weren't really translations. You should take ten minutes to talk about that some day.
Why aren't MPs breathalyzed before entering the chamber? Surely if you're not fit to drive you're not fit to legislate? Or would this mean a nearly empty chamber?
Interesting point - it is worth noting though that in the past there were places where decisions had to be agreed by both a sober and a drunk legislature. 😅
There's no requirement to even be there. If someone is noticeably impaired yeah that needs to be addressed, but otherwise that seems like an unreasonable imposition.
@jonathanshaw6784 a lot of an MP's tine is meant to be spent on other things outside of the chamber - mainly negotiating and networking with other MPs, ministers and key people in various relevant businesses to help constituents resolve their issues.
I do agree that MPs shouldn’t be on their phones in the chamber because it’s just a case of bad manners when someone is talking. But not being able to have notes is over the top, you can’t possibly remember everything in a speech or a question.
There was no move towards organic agriculture in Sri Lanka. There's a lot more to it than getting rid of water soluble fertilisers. Rory should be ashamed of himself.
As with many schools now, there need to be small lockers outside the Commons (and possibly the Lords) into which MPs should be compelled to put their phones in before entering the Commons. Let’s be honest, so many of them behave like children that maybe they need treating as such.
Sehr geehrter Herr Campbell, ich war überrascht und entzückt zu hören, dass Sie ein ausgezeichnetes Deutsch sprechen und auch noch meinen Lieblingsautor Thomas Mann lesen!

Churchill stood up in the chamber to speak went completely and utterly blank and from that day onwards he ALWAYS had a piece of paper in front of him or in his hands before speaking. He definately had ADHD and was almost certainly under the influence. But what a wartime leader. My own opinion is that alcohol is the bigger if not the biggest problem in government, as this was revealed by Boris. Would we know about this culture without COVID? i have never had a job where I would not have be sacked for by drinking. Remind me please how many bars there are in the Hs of Parliement? If you cannot get a drink in hospital why is it OK when you are running the NHS?
Is there not an argument to say MPs can very quickly do some research on a topic so they have a more informed position... Therefore phones could be useful... Clearly sending WhatsApps is ridiculous
A great current book which I think is very relevant to the current debate on information and future role of AI is Yuval Noah Harari's book Nexus. Whilst there is a fair amount I may disagree with, the implications on impact of the narrative in politics is immense. It would be awesome to get your views on this trend going forward.
I don't think memorization of long paragraphs is a skill which should serve as a barrier to political participation. An abelist and pointless standard.
They are building on the best farmland in Devon. Between developers and supermarkets, farming is in a bad place. Labour have no understanding of farming issues, food security, Tories were bad, Labour seemingly no different.

I watched the appalling Kay Burley last week going on and on about how much Sue Gray is being paid whilst forgetting to mention that she is on over £500k
Your OG Texan again, I *love* your show! Where else am I to learn about the Sri Lanka election controversy? Thanks TRIP GB team! Now, if you can just reduce Anthony’s ramblings a bit on TRIP USA…😅

Rory and Alistair could you do special on ' What's gone wrong with local government e.g. Kirklees Council's has 30m deficit. So what's the future given it's potential importance to communities.
😩 Somedays I wish more than anything I wasn't such a dang Squib and could read/write and listen/speak in languages other than simple Anglaise. Rory has a new wall hanging, I see. Yes, it is always the small details in the background that matter.
biodiversity is a crisis for the whole world, but the world's population has increased 4 fold in 100 years, and our case we have the added problem in the UK of "predation" of our wildlife from all directions [on the ground and in the air!!] to much of 1 species [humans, badgers red kits for example !?] at the detriment of others.
And what "a terrible parent" I was for standing my ground in one culture over health and safety issues and having to withstand all the pressures in the other culture over technology and refusing to allow my child to have a TV and games consoles in his bedroom, restricting video games, not allowing him a mobile phone until he was much older than others in his school year group & so on. One rich parent from Manchester turned up on my impoverished doorstep with an enormous old brick TV for my son to have in his bedroom, deliberately causing a conflict. Nice? You have no idea how it battered my self-confidence and how hard it was to stand my ground. How I never went to the pub. I mean NEVER.
I recommend the book ‘Wilding’ by Isabella Tree. Full of huge amounts of interesting facts and information. Her and her husband rewilded their Estate Knepp over decades. The resulting biodiversity is huge. All those who do not think there are any climate issues, should most certainly read it. All creatures including us, are interdependent. We forget this fact at our peril.
"People" ? You disgust me. You don't want to hear the truth about your own policies, about the fact that a homeless woman was systematically and repeatedly punished for being assaulted, while those that assaulted her were rewarded, that the police and local authorities were involved in placing that woman's life in danger, exposed to ongoing harassment, intimidation, and punished by being placed in worse accommodation than the drug addicts and criminals that attacked her. That the police were also involved in assaulting her and colluding with the assailants.
I was in my teens when I first found something living in the Rochdale canal. It was a leech. There are blokes fishing for real fish nowadays. I remember pushing a lad in the canal and he came up in a rash all over his body. Things are very much better than they were back then
I think I might be an outlier here, but I think parliament should embrace phones in the chamber. The place is archaic enough as it is. Looking up facts, pulling up stats, and maybe even editing your speech before you are called to speak. I think it makes the place more dynamic in terms of debate. The problematic part is ofc texting and scrolling social media feed.
How to feel good about oneself by listening and every 100’th throw away line by these two be in a position of thinking: “ yeah I was thinking along those lines too”
Sue Gray became an issue because she is an issue and therefore should be let go. Simon case should also be let go because he is also an issue. They are not the only people with competence and in fact have shown incompetence
My favourite post war president was Jimmy Carter, probably has to do with the fact he connected with North East England like no other president has but he was/is an incredibly likeable person too unlike pretty much every other. Maybe Kamala will replace him as my fave because I do really like her too. He'll hit 100 on October 1st 2024.

As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Kristine Lynn Weber is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Kristine Lynn Weber, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $100k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Kristine Lynn Weber is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.
My idea of a Scottish gentleman is, a man who can play the bagpipes but doesn’t

Agree Rory. If we're taking phones away from children in school we should take phones away from children in the house of commons.
I dunno the house of commons is more of a theater than serious debate
Just take a jhourney on the tube. Everyone and their aunt is on their phone.

Casually; "i'm reading about 7 books..."

:)
"I'm only reading one book Rory, in German." 😂
I've heard Rory describe how he reads. For some books, like political biographies, he reads the first couple of chapters and that's it.
In that case I’m reading about 30, basically all the ones on my bookcase where I’ve just read the intro.
@@peterknight7880that was a great flex from Alistair.
