>He also questioned whether MPs should be employers of their own staff and asked whether an outside body could act as employer, as long as the MP was still able to choose their office personnel.
Why do MPs have to be able to choose their own personnel? Give each MP, and each constituency office, a certain number of permanent staff, paid for by the Civil Service (or a separate body if there are Reasons why that can’t happen). I’d let them have a political adviser, but apart from that, why do they need to pick their own staff?
Get the booze out of parliament. They’ve deciding on laws whilst intoxicated. Fucking unbelievable.
Will absolutely be linked to the misogyny culture there also.
I seem to remember Andrea Leadsom promising to reform maternity cover when she was Leader of the House under May, and she did nothing.
