Talk about running scared they’re in total panic mode. Is the vote on fracking in England or the whole UK?

Fracking is devolved it won't be getting unbanned in Scotland as I understand it.
The Tories have completely and utterly lost the run of themselves.
Whilst away on a trip to duxford to see what Britain used to be able to do in the face of adversity, I saw a news piece on bbc with subtitles on. it said less trust the prime minster. was that a freudian slip?

What have we learned so far today?
If you're just joining us or are in need of a catch up, here four key things we have learned so far:Pensions triple lock to stay
In a surprise revelation at Prime Minister's Questions earlier, Liz Truss confirmed she will raise state pensions in line with inflation (currently at over 10%) next year.
This means her government will maintain its manifesto commitment to the "triple lock" policy, whereby pensions rise by whichever is the highest of inflation, average wage rises, or 2.5% a year.
No guarantee for benefits
Unlike pensioners, Truss did not make the same commitment to those who receive state benefits, when asked by a Tory backbencher if they would also rise by inflation.
Truss didn't directly answer the question, but did note that the government were "compassionate Conservatives", which she said was shown by the energy price guarantee keeping bills down until April.
Questions about leadership remain
At a fiery PMQs Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer read out a list of Truss's abandoned economic policies, to which she replied telling MPs she was "a fighter, not a quitter"
But trouble is brewing for the PM, with one senior Conservative MP confirming he had lodged a letter of no confidence in her
Fracking
On the subject of upcoming problems for Truss, Labour have lodged a vote for this evening on the controversial issue of fracking, attempting to force the introduction of a draft law to ban the extraction of shale gas in England
Tory MPs have been ordered to oppose the move to ban fracking - forcing them to demonstrate their loyalty to Liz Truss and making it what they call a "confidence vote" in Parliament.

Braverman no longer home secretary - reports (BBC News)
The Sun and the Guardian newspapers are reporting that Suella Braverman is out as home secretary.The BBC has not yet been able to confirm this.
We’ll bring you more as soon as we can.
Braverman was appointed by Liz Truss in September, after being promoted from serving as attorney general under Boris Johnson.

Resignation over honest mistake, not policy
Chris Mason
Political editor
My understanding is Suella Braverman's resignation was not over a disagreement about government policy, but instead what was described to me as an honest mistake on the part of the now former home secretary.

- Suella Braverman resigns as home secretary in a face-to-face meeting with the prime minister
- She says she is going after breaching rules and sending an official document from her personal email
- In a blistering resignation letter, she says the government needs to rely on people "accepting responsibility for their mistakes"
- Pretending we haven't made mistakes "and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics", she adds
- Losing one of her key ministers will add to turmoil at the top of government, as Truss faces widespread discontent among Tory MPs

What does that mean? Did you get that from a random TLA software?
It's the fault of the WEF, the new bogeyman of the tinfoil hat brigade.

Graham Shapps takes over God help us. To lose both the Home Secretary and the CoE in six weeks Looks like carelessness.

Basically they want cheap labour, to increase their own globalist agenda. Cheap labour = more profits.
Its not difficult to understand - its all about money. Follow the money.

Before joining Downing Street, Jason Stein used to work as a communications adviser to Prince Andrew.
It's understood he left as an employee of the prince when his advice not to do an interview with [BBC Newsnight's] Emily Maitlis was ignored.
