Labour MPs dismiss the petition to call for a general election as the result of “misinformation” and “foreign interference”

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

On Monday, the House of Commons debated the petition “call another general election.”  Here are the highlights.  If you aren’t one of those who are disappointed in the Labour government or Labour MPs then you need to watch the debate.  It demonstrates why millions registered their dissatisfaction and no confidence in the current UK regime by signing the petition.

Jamie Stone, Scottish Member of Parliament (“MP”) and chairman of the Petitions Committee, opened the debate: “Let us remember that petitions are first and foremost a mechanism of civic engagement and political expression. As individual politicians, each and every one of us resides in this place, in this House, only at the behest of our constituents, and it is surely paramount that a dialogue is always facilitated between us and the public … Ultimately, we work for all those who put their name to this petition.”

“An election cannot be called as a result of a petition. It is a fact that on 4 July, the Labour party won a majority, and they will remain in office for the duration of their term or until the Prime Minister seeks permission from the sovereign to dissolve Parliament at a time of his choosing,” he said.

“I think that any Government would be wrong to assume that they act in a vacuum,” he added.

Yasmin Qureshi, Labour Member of Parliament for Bolton South and Walkden, said: “This petition has grown partly because of a lot of misinformation and partly because of foreign interference.”

Trying to make out that the Labour government is looking out for the interests of the UK and its citizens which justifies the much-touted “tough decisions” it has had to make such as removing winter fuel bills for the elderly, introducing inheritance tax for farmers and raising national insurance contributions, Quereshi said: “Everybody is talking about how we can regenerate the economy, and the stuff that we are doing on green energy and renewables will also create loads of jobs and regenerate our economy—[Interruption.] I hear some Opposition Members sniggering and laughing.” 

Unfortunately for Qureshi, the public who have seen that Ed Miliband’s green agenda is a scam will be sniggering and laughing at the comment as well.  (RW: I am sniggering and laughing at her ludicrous claims as I write.)

Sir Edward Leigh, Conservative MP for Gainsborough, responded to Qureshi, “It would be foolish to ignore this petition, as an expression of public disappointment and anger. I do not want to be overtly party political, but I do think it would be useful for the Government not just to dismiss the petition as having been cooked up abroad – apparently – or by nefarious anti-democratic forces. I think it would be quite wise to listen to the public. If they are in a black hole – if indeed there is a black hole – I say to the Government: just stop digging.” (RW: Hear, hear)

Sir Edward, who is the Father of the House, then proceeded to give the Labour government some much-needed “fatherly advice.”  (RW: If the Labour government acts like children let loose in a sweet shop, which is what they have been doing since 4 July, then fatherly advice is exactly what they need.)

“I just [gave] that advice to the Government. Of course, they will not take it, but it is always useful when bringing in reforms to think of the general public, and how those reforms will impact on people and relate to their sense of alienation,” he said.  (RW: He’s right. The Labour government is acting like a petulant and spoilt child which has an inflated and arrogant view of itself.)

Apart from paying homage to the climate change cult by saying “We must solve climate change,” Sir Edward makes some good points.  You can hear Sir Edwards’s speech beginning at timestamp 16:50.

He concluded, “My advice to the Government is: you can ignore this petition – of course, you will ignore this petition, in the sense that there will not be a general election – but do not ignore the sense of alienation and frustration that lies behind it.”

Which is, of course, exactly what the Labour government is doing as proven by a remark made by Mark Francois, Conservative MP for Rayleigh and Wickford.  He said, “It is an extraordinary thing that we are debating a petition calling for a general election, barely six months from the previous election. It is even more extraordinary that that petition generated over 3 million signatures in just a few weeks. It is also highly noteworthy that of the 650 parliamentary constituencies in the UK, six of the top 10 by number of signatures are in the county of Essex. That includes my constituency of Rayleigh and Wickford, which is at No. 8. I do not see an Essex Labour MP here.”

Francois had done what every single MP should have done – he spoke to his constituents about why they had signed the petition before the debate. Concerns his constituents raised included the economy, tax increases, public sector wage increases, withdrawal of the winter fuel allowances, Labour’s sham of fixing the “black hole” in the Government’s budget, the number of people illegally arriving in “small boats” and Labour’s plan for devolution.

“Labour’s plan for so-called devolution, as outlined in a White Paper before Christmas. In Essex, it would replace a two-tier system of local government with another two-tier system of local government that would take decisions even further away from local people. It is a Trojan horse designed to concrete over our green belt in Essex and is based largely on Sadiq Khan’s systems, as is clear from reading the White Paper. I can tell the House that the last thing we want in Essex is another Sadiq Khan,” Francois said.

He continued: “There are 7,287 people in my Rayleigh and Wickford constituency who have signed the petition. We cannot know why every one of them signed it. Perhaps they were enraged that Labour promised no new tax increases and then put taxes up by 40 billion quid. Perhaps they are among the up to 10 million pensioners who have had their winter fuel allowance taken away by the Chancellor. Perhaps they are among the 3.8 million WASPI women who were led up the garden path by Labour, from the PM downwards, prior to the general election and were dumped unceremoniously thereafter. Perhaps they believed Labour’s promises to smash the gangs, only to see arrivals increase by a third since Labour took office. Or perhaps they have just realised that when Labour promised change, what it really meant was more taxes, more bureaucracy and even more boats.”

“Whatever it was, we now have a Labour Government who, by breaking so many of their promises so early to those who elected them, have already all but surrendered their moral right to govern. The British people want change all right: they want a change from Labour, and the sooner the better,” he concluded. (RW: Hear, hear.)

Nigel Farage, Reform MP for Clacton, noted his constituency represented the third highest number of petition signatures. “They knew that [a fresh general election] would not happen; what they were actually expressing was a sense of utter disenchantment with the entire political system,” he said. “Something [big] is going on out there.”

Farage responds to General Election Petition, 6 January 2024 (6 mins)

“Most new Governments come into power with positive plans to get things done quickly; they are often defined by early successes in their first 100 days in office and they move fast to deliver on election promises,” Conservative MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, John Lamont said. “However, this Labour Government are not normal.” (RW: Damn right!).

He said, “UK Labour is driving Scottish Labour into a ditch and nobody in Scottish Labour has the backbone to stand up to them … It is no wonder that so many people in the borders and across Scotland are losing trust in Labour. More and more people are moving away from Scottish Labour because they see that it does not stand for anything except broken promises. It has betrayed workers, businesses, pensioners, farmers and our oil and gas industry. Labour has broken its word on tax, on women’s rights, on social security and on energy bills. Anas Sarwar [leader of the Scottish Labour Party] must be terrified of who this Labour Government are going to hit next.”

Damian Hinds, Conservative MP for East Hampshire, recognised the importance of petitions. “This petition has succeeded already in a very important way: it has brought this debate to Westminster Hall. It is a broader debate than we are often able to have,” he said.

Adding, “There are always people who are unhappy with the Government, and there are always people who are going to be unhappy with an incoming Government, but the speed of the fall of the current Government really is quite striking.” (RW: For Labour MPs, this is the crucial point that they dare not admit.  It is the speed at which Starmer and his cronies have fallen and it will be theirs as well unless they stop taking orders from party central and start to stand up for their constituents.)

As Hinds explained, “In our system, no petition can force a general election. It is the decision of the Prime Minister of the day, or if he or she is forced by a confidence vote.” (RW: Starmer will never have the courage to recognise how universally unpopular he and his policies are and do the right thing.  Will Labour MPs be able to critically assess the situation? Not likely. As Sir John Whittingdale pointed out, “A Labour Government were brought down in a confidence vote in 1979. With a majority of 170, that is unlikely to happen to this Government.”)

Douglas McAllister, Labour MP for West Dunbartonshire, said exactly the wrong thing and repeated Labour’s mantra about foreign influence and in doing so completely ignored the British public, “[Some MPs] want to pander to populist nonsense at the start of a new year and, worse still, echo dangerous foreign influences … This is not a serious proposition before us today [i.e. the petition], but we do now have a serious Government.” (RW: With that level of arrogance, Labour is on a hiding to nothing.)

Another Labour MP who is completely out of touch with the public mood and invented reasons why people signed the petition was Deirdre Costigan.  She foolishly said, “I understand that the people who signed this petition feel angry, and a lot of people are angry in my constituency of Ealing Southall. They are angry because their kids cannot buy a home, they are angry because their parents cannot get the hip operation they need and they are angry because, when their car gets nicked or their house gets burgled, the police do not seem to be able to do much about it. But it is clear where the blame for this lies … the Conservative party.” (RW:  Does Costigan think her constituents are idiots?)

Mike Wood, MP for Kingswinford and South Staffordshire, said his constituent Michael Westwood had not raised the petition because of “foreign interference” as Qureshi has accused.  Qureshi dug her hole deeper by interjecting and clarifying, “What I said was that it was misinformation, as well as foreign interference and politicising. I mentioned those three things, not just one.”

Wood responded by saying, “I am not sure that has entirely helped her case.” (RW: Exactly.)

Qureshi then tried to backtrack, “At no time did I say that the individual constituent was being influenced by a foreign.  No, I did not say that. I said that the petition on its own, as it was sold, has been motivated by a number of factors. At no time did I attribute anything to the individual constituent.” (RW: Nope, she still hasn’t helped her case.)

Wood responded, “I think the words speak for themselves, and Mr Westwood is sitting there having brought the petition forward and gained 3 million signatures. The signatures reflect the strength of the public’s dissatisfaction, frustration and betrayal with the Labour Government’s failure to uphold the promises they made during the election campaign … When [election manifesto] promises are not fulfilled or, worse, are abandoned, trust between the electorate and the Government erodes.”

And that is the problem the Labour government doggedly refuses to acknowledge.  As Conservative MP for Basildon and Billericay Richard Holden noted, “I would just caution some Government Members. One of them said that this was a debate on a pointless motion, but over 3 million people have signed the petition because they are really concerned about what the Government are doing … There is real concern among the public that people were misled ahead of the general election … There are real frustrations up and down the country among small businesses, family farms, ordinary working people and pensioners.” (RW: That’s just the tip of the iceberg.)

He continued, “The Government’s failures and broken promises started early. On the morning of 5 July, the new Prime Minister walked up to the door of Downing Street and talked about a Government of service. Looking on, with a new pass and new access, was the major Labour donor Lord Alli. From the off, it has been clear that the promises of integrity, accountability and transparency from this Government have been broken. From the literal first day of the Labour Government, the public could not help feeling that Labour was selling out and selling them short.”

“Soon afterwards, it came to light that the Labour Government were using exceptional civil service appointment procedures to put Labour donors and activists into positions that, fundamentally, are meant to be politically neutral. The sense was that this Government, even in their first few weeks, were systematically destroying the mechanisms that hold an elected Government to account in the interests of the whole public.

“Sadly, the Government have dismissed the petition, just as Government Members have done today. They have dismissed the voices of the public. This Labour Government are giving the impression that they just do not care and that they feel they are above the sentiments of the public … The public are not stupid. They can see exactly what is happening and what this Government are doing in office.”

Richard Holden, Debate on General Election, Westminster Hall, 6 January 2025

(RW: I could not find one comment from a Labour MP that showed he/she understood the reasons or addressed why so many Britons had signed a petition for the Prime Minister to call another general election.  Verdict: After that debate, the public has no confidence in the Labour government or Labour MPs.  This is not going to end well for Labour.)

Whoa you guys. Foreign interference? Donald Trump owes the British gov a well deserved “what for” for its role in Russiagate. Perhaps that’s what is really going on, since Elon is just a private citizen right now, and has no restrictions on his opinions regarding the evil UK leadership. Trump is precluded from doing or saying anything until he takes office.

Elon took up a survey to ask Americans if we should invade England and liberate the English, or something. Looks like we invade. We’ll storm the beeches in London, throw Starmer in the Tower, down in the dungeon.

But seriously, Musk opens his mouth and politicians across Europe scurry like cockroaches. Magnificent.

Evil hides behind these puppets and plays battle with phantoms via government for public mind control. Legislation from government is designed to undermine our foundation of who we are. Their greatest fear is critical mass of their so- called voters that must wake up and see the fake democracy for what it is.
Majority do not want to challenge, for that means they would have to engage, hence the road to hell is wide and easy.
To do nothing is sometimes a positive for it draws out the real perpetrators when they become confident of themselves they also expose themselves and their evil foundation.
Only then do we see the target to be purged from this world.

The saying “evil triumphs when good men do nothing” is a secular saying. I’m not sure of its origin, but I do know that many parliamentarians (those who espouse the virtues of democracy) often quote it, didn’t JFK?

I have said umpteen times on this site that democracy is the vehicle that Satan uses to bring his man antichrist to power (the Bible clearly teaches this)-so why put our hopes in a system that is rigged to work against us? By voting, and signing petitions, all we are doing is partaking in this wickedness and emboldening it! Is that what you want? Only, I repeat, Only the Personal Return of the Lord Jesus Christ in glory will destroy this antichristian system, antichrist, and at the end of the soon coming millennium, Satan himself.

“The best plan of action”?

Do as John Bunyan was wont to preach, “Close in with Christ”.
And keep unspotted from the world. James 1:27 (i.e. biblical separation).

Correct, My “plan of action is to stay in hiding and wait for better days.”

They WILL come, be assured of that!

But, only the eye of Faith can discern this.

Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings. Psalm 17:8.

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4.

The battle is the Lord’s. 1 Samuel 17:47.

The battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15.

Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10.

I am not “conflating democracy with autocracy”, no, not at all! I try to be as gracious as I can, but can you not now see that democracy will bring in autocracy after the plutocratic outworking we now clearly see going on before us? Antichrist will be the perfect embodiment of autocracy. How then will he rise to this position? The answer is through the DEMOCRATIC voting process. Or to put it another way, the (dumbed down majority) will put him in power.

Without Me ye can do nothing. John 15:5.

The Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is a witness to a lost and dying world-a witness, and that only.
(Matthew 28:18-20).

The answer as far as I can see is STOP VOTING. The excellent article is high lighting it as it is: NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE CLEARLY STATE THEIR DISSATISFACTION AND ANGER NO POLITICIAN LISTENS TO THEM. Therefore, WHY THE FUCK VOTE FOR ANY OF THEM?
I say IGNORE THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE.

THEY ARE LOW LIVES.

Rhoda Wilson, I fully understand what you are saying – relax! I understand why you wrote the article – relax! What I was trying to point out is the very obvious fact that the politipaths are HELPLESS without you and me and all the rest. So if we do not feed the beasts will not they then die of starvation? I am NOT advocating for passivity, apathy or anything the like. FAR from it. Rhoda Wilson, I WANT THEM TO FUCK OFF, LEAVE, DEPART, DISAPPEAR, GET LOST, and I am trying to find out how that can come about. And as an answer to your question about whether I think a problem can be ignored out of existence I wish to tell you that YES I have seen that many times during my life. It is and remains a fact that too much focus on a problem can mean that that problem just persists and becomes stubborn if you like. Sometimes it is a damned good idea to DISCONNECT. I have honestly had enough, and refuse to comment anymore on ANYTHING today. Fuck how I need a break, man!!!!

Thank you for your reply and I want you to know I appreciate the spirit and passion of your work. I also work with my skill and my passion. I have to tone down my words sometimes to not lose my audience.

All my life, I have worked to understand purpose and reason from the age of ten. And fifty years on there is a good amount of experiences to offer. More than once, I have put myself in harm’s way for others only to turn around when push comes to shove and they have gone!

Only in the last 15 years have I found my foundation of my identity, so I do understand why my argument is ignored about identity. Since the criminal coup d’état of 1689, regular folks have suffered a fraudulent theft of energy via various tax frauds that we pay for, like engineered wars-so-called pandemics and bio weapons that murder our children via vaccines.

The System has worked perfectly as a design from the Start in 1689. We regular folks just got the other version of so-called democracy.
Only from a foundation of our identity can we bring about change. Anyone that believes their identity is a document published and authored by Government have no foundation and they are under the jurisdiction of government authorities.

There is only contract with the Crown Corporation City of London and their government. There is no democracy, though there is a facade so powerful that very few can see or even begin to understand the illusion of smoke and mirrors that operate 24/7

The system was designed to accommodate the unrest generated by the Terms e conditions of contract. So-called law is nothing more than legislation created by the Crown and its government. There is no Law! Legislation really means Terms a condition of contract.
So if anyone wants change, the first act is to learn about their identity and hopefully they learn about the fraudulent claim of the Crown.
Fraudulent because the Crown never discloses its legal position.

So, while I respect your passion to encourage others with your method of change, tell me how can we forge change with a system that is broken and, in fact, was designed that way. Would it not be better to learn about how the system really works before shouting at it?

With registration to vote, comes the point the system starts its scam.
In a real democracy those that don’t register should be noted and counted. And so a none vote shows our disagreement of the current encumbrances and corruption. We never get the opportunity do we?
Currently…
Anyone that doesn’t register to vote faces court action and a fine. So, how is that democracy?
Registration to vote give’s the Crown the legal title to create its government.
There is no democracy in UK. It’s a corporate dictatorship with the facade of democracy.

you are right Alma. Petitions and peaceful protests are just ignored. If a protest becomes unruly, then our rulers can see that people are angry and to stop it growing, harsh measures are used to suppress it – i.e. the Southport protests.

Chairman Mao said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. He was right, but I can’t see anyone in Britain acting as Luigi Mangione did, so all we are left with is civil disobedience.

“evil triumphs when good men do nothing” – if enough people do not vote (or spoil their votes), then that is doing something. It is showing that we have had enough of them.

It is a form of civil disobedience and it sends a message.

Yasmin Qureshi said “This petition has grown partly because of a lot of misinformation and partly because of foreign interference” – the truth is that it grew because of public anger at this evil Labour government because they lied to the people in order to get elected. The people weren’t getting what they voted for. The election was based on lies and therefore it was fraudulent.

He talks about baby boomers re: the damage to their pensions hurting them and the reduction in their spending power will harm the economy.

I predict that they will confiscate the savings of baby boomers through high taxes on pensioners’ savings and possibly a wealth tax on them. They hate any pensioners who have savings. They took the Winter Fuel Allowance off them, but those with no savings and on Pension Credit get to keep it and Pension Credit opens the door to many more handouts. Baby boomers WILL HAVE NOTHING AND BE HAPPY, I don’t think.

About that “interference” excuse. Long before Tommy Robinson started his noble campaign to put an end to the horritic crimes of the rape gangs, the BNP had warned the country about it.

The BBC said “It’s not true, they are lying. They are just nasty racists”.

In either the late 1980s or the early 1990s, Channel Four followed up the BNP’s claims and made a documentary about it. Today, knowing of how effective “Three Girls” and “Mr. Bates Versus The Post Office” were, imagine what that documentary would have done.

So, just before it was due to be aired, the government of the day banned it. Their excuse was that an election was coming up in just a few weeks and this would be “interference”.

They didn’t want the British public to know the truth, because the truth would influence them when they voted. How’s that for democracy.

Does anyone remember that?

Today, I can’t imagine Channel Four making a programme like that, but I doubt that it was another channel as back then we had only BBC1, BBC2, ITV and Channel Four.

“TV channel bans BNP election broadcast

Last updated at 12:35 28 May 2004

Channel Five has announced today it is not going to show a British National Party (BNP) European election broadcast amid fears it would stir up racial hatred.

The five-minute television broadcast features the mother of a teenage girl who claimed her daughter was drugged and gang-raped by Asian men in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

It was based on claims made by a Channel 4 documentary that Asian men in Bradford are grooming and targeting white girls as young as 11 for sex and drug abuse.

This programme was also pulled after West Yorkshire Police said it would risk inciting community disorder in the area.

This woman claims to be the first person to report the scandal of the rape gangs – but she was still years too late and that was because of her political bias. See what she did after a mother asked her for help after the council and the police wouldn’t help her to rescue her daughter.

“A loyal Labour voter, she first turned for help to her Lancashire town’s councillors. When she got no joy there, she tried her local MP, then the police and finally social workers. But no one would listen.”

“In desperation, she sought help from the local branch of the fascist British National Party.” – and because of that this Sue Reid ignored and all the other victims.

She writes -“It was only 13 years later – in 2010 – that I became the first British newspaper journalist to write about the child-abuse scandal, which we now know had been covered up for decades by a liberal-Left officialdom worshipping at the altar of a false god: multiculturalism.”

“SUE REID: I was the first writer to expose the grooming gangs – and had ‘Racist Scum’ daubed outside my house. Only a national inquiry will expose the extent of the cover-up I witnessed”.

“Elon Musk’s tweets ‘are being probed by UK counter-extremism unit’ after grooming gangs scandal”

The people who rule us are ruthless when it comes to suppressing truth and covering up their crimes.

X will be banned. They will say it is a threat to national security, but the truth is that truth is dangerous and is not to be allowed. (see my post about the banning of the Channel Four documentary).

The media is going all out to attack Musk. History will be re-written to hide the truth –

“Sir Keir Starmer Announces National Inquiry”

So they don’t want “foreign interference”, but they do want to take us back into the EU so that un-elected EU leaders can interfere in our politics.

To get back at this government and powers- that- be, who have the attitude that we must put up with whatever they throw at us and shut up: : Scrap the NHS App (don’t download it in the first place or if you already have, delete it: and and try as far as possible to live independently of the corporate and digital systems.
They would hate that so hit them where it hurts.
I have to admit signed the petition myself even though I knew nothing would come of it. Better than staying stumm I suppose.

Any passive resistance strategy is a score, like ignoring the app, may be insignificant but every little counts.

What you’re doing is the same as doing nothing as you’re beaten to a pulp by the rape gangs. FIGHT! With weapons.

That strategy fails every time because that is what is expected. That is why there are policy enforcers other wise known as the Police. They work for the Crown not for the public, that’s why they have such a bad public reputation.
