The Aged P

David Lammy is one of those smooth uber urban and expensive Labour politicians who is deeply into caring for the less fortunate. Shame then that on a crowded bus where several elderly passengers had to stand he remained glued to a seat where you are asked to give it up for the elderly/infirm/pregnant etc. The trick is, of course, if you know you should give it up and can’t be bothered you always find something absolutely fascinating outside the window…..

h/t Guido Fawkes

There appears to have been a brawl in a House of Commons bar yesterday. Guido, as usual has the details.

The police eventually arrived and took away an MP (alleged to be the Labour Party’s Eric Joyce) in handcuffs.
Several members tried to stop the fight including a Conservative female MP who placed herself in front of Mr Joyce and told him to punch her instead of anyone else..

Poor Stuart was just having a quiet pint and minding his own business and Eric headbutted him. Stuart was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Several other MPs tried to calm Mr Joyce down, including Labour whip Phil Wilson, who was hit. One woman MP, Thurrock Tory Jackie Doyle-Price, stepped bravely between Mr Joyce and the fracas.

At last a Tory MP with cojones?
