You don’t have to be a political insider to know that Parliament, along with parts of the Government, has colluded in sabotaging Brexit.
If Parliament is voting overwhelmingly against leaving the European Union without a deal but is voting in favour of a softer Brexit, then I don’t think it’s sustainable to ignore Parliament’s position and therefore leave without a deal.
The child in the womb has no voice but Parliament’s. Many MPs who voted for the 1967 Act did not think they were abandoning the unborn because they were fooled by the supposed safeguards. Now we know just how ineffective those safeguards are.
Unanimous votes are rare in parliament.

During 2009-2014, the Budget allocation for agriculture increased by a meagre 8.5 percent. From 2014-2019, the Modi government hiked it by 38.8 percent. By opposing the passage of these historic Acts in Parliament, the Congress exposed itself.
If parliament and government work together in their respective constitutional roles, and respect due processes, we will maximise our chances of making the right decisions as we encounter the many challenges, risks and opportunities Brexit poses for our country.

I think it’s been lovely the way people have been really supportive in parliament of my pregnancy.
I’ve got four lovely children, ten lovely grandchildren, and I left parliament to devote more time to politics, and I think that what is really going on in Britain is a growing sense of alienation. People don’t feel anyone listens to them.

The reason why I’m in Parliament is not really to see my colleagues win power; it is to see us at last in a position where we can give it up.
I shall not miss the hectoring and backbiting and the lack of generosity towards fallen foes, but I will miss the sheer clubability of parliament. If one fancies a coffee or a meal or a drink then it is always possible to find at least one person out of 646 whose company is congenial.
If you come from a family like Gandhi family, people have high expectations. He needed to perform. I wish Rahul could have more attendance, participated more, and believed in democracy, in the parliamentary system. He speaks more outside, less in Parliament.
I did not come into Parliament to be a Muslim MP. And I have never set myself up as a Muslim spokesperson or community leader. Just as ordinary citizens have multiple identities, so do MPs.
I stood for parliament with the amazing support and help of my ex-husband, but it’s not something that was handed to me like a peerage. I worked hard and was elected. So my achievements, such as they are, are my own.

I’m not going to tell the Palestinians how to arrange themselves. If they want to have their own entity and their own parliament as they do today, that’s fine. If they want to connect to Jordan, which has a very big Palestinian population, and vote in the Jordanian government, that’s fine.
