Inside the Commons - EP 2 - Upstairs Downstairs

We see what goes on backstage at the state opening, when the Queen comes to open the parliamentary year, including a surreal traditional search for gunpowder. Also, we meet the army of workers who struggle to keep the Commons show on the road.

So happy moggy lost his seat.

[@sandponics]

They should all lose their seats. Take that bauble away.

Ten years later and people still have to pay hospital parking charges, even staff!

We do still the bedroom tax on social housing not much has been done interesting but I've realised I cd do a better job get rid of the lot of em waste of taxpayers money I receive my state pension in 3 years will hv to pay tax iam fuming I've already bloody paid

[@user-ki2jp1cp3o]

@@user-gr7nx1lr8t well your pension contributions are taken from your wage before tax, so you haven’t paid tax on that money actually if that’s what you mean?

[@sianstockham9244]

Only in England.

[@sandponics]

The country is financed by charging people to park their cars at government owned car parks.

"The Three Musketeers" love it! Good job showing that tenacity wins out.

[@gazwizz]

I find it absolutely astonishing that getting a bill heard, that may benefit thousands or millions of people if passed, all depends on a raffle. So some decisions in this country are based on pure luck?

[@psylon2014]

not quite, this is just - one way - but It does seem ridiculous in general.

[@forsdykemontague1017]

Only when in opposition!

[@djcfrompt]

Filibustering someone's bill because they wouldn't give you their time slot is petty as all get out. It's one thing to filibuster when you believe the bill shouldn't pass, but filibustering for revenge is just pathetic.

[@scottread]

It's wonderful knowing that so many of the loathsome Tories featured in this doco are now gone.

[@emsservices6090]

2014 Blooming heck how old is this programme !!!!!

[@Dave-en8yz]

Well let's see now, 2024 - 2014 = 10. So 10 years.

[@sandponics]

Almost as old as the outdated parliament that only supports the wealthy such as the royals.

[@kennethMblake]

Thank you for uploading. I want to see more of this type of programme. I find it educational as a Canadian (many of our parliamentary actions are copied from the UK way) and strangely I find it relaxing

[@sandponics]

You should find it terrifying.

10 years later….

[@pugswillfly3211]

It’s quite fun to spot those who have just lost their seat, there seems to be tons of them

So glad jacob mogg aint in government anymore

[@agr7879]

Brilliant insight

[@trigger1471]

Hosp car parking charges,does not matter what side u on any normal person would agree its wrong,but yet you got people delaying the speech just because they are on the otherside,but there again i bet rees mogg family dont use NHS asnd his plan worked,as 10 yeras on the charges are still there i wounder who has shares in these private companys that deal with the carparks

[@ianoliver3879]

Good stuff, but the commentary seems a little muted. Perhaps the conversion from the original to whatever TH-cam uses?

At least Peter Bone is gone, even if Christopher Chope is still there.

This episode really shows how pathetic the entire culture is within parliament, and really lays bare how toxic figures like Rees-Mogg are

Inside the common where we pay people to talk and do nothing. Where democracy and decency go to die but self personal interests to lines ones own pocket with the tax payers money thrives
