When Hitler passed the enablement act socialist MPs voted no, despite being threatened, despite knowing it would pass anyway. Many of them went into the first concentration camps. Being elected comes with great privileges but also with the duty to make the ultimate sacrifice when needed.

Yes, but then you've got people like Torsten Bell who was a huge critic of the two child benefit policy and now he's an ardent defender. Funny how that works, isn't it?

Are you two seriously, seriously comparing the labour party to parties that passed the enabling act. Can you get a fucking grip.

In addition to my other comment, doing what Farage says requires passing something that is no less evil than Hitler‘s enablement act.

No. I am reminding that MPs have a higher purpose than aiming for government jobs.

I could also point to David Lammy. From saying in parliament that Brexit is a con to going fishing with American Nazis. And no, the holiday pictures with Vance were not a required part of the brief of a foreign secretary. Other Europeans did not debase themselves like this.
