‘Manhandling’ and disunity in the House of Commons

‘Manhandling’ and disunity has engulfed Britain’s House of Commons as Truss attempts to steer the ship

Reports of ‘manhandling’ and disunity in the UK’s House of Commons, with the Labour party has losing its vote on banning fracking.

230 MPs voted for the ban, with 326 voting against – resulting in a majority of 96.

The Tory government had ordered all of the party’s representatives to oppose Labour in the vote, or face expulsion altogether.

But this didn’t sit well with a number of key MPs.

As the vote approached, three Torys – including the former climate minister – warned they could not “vote to support fracking”.

Now, the Labour Party is reporting instances of “manhandling” and “bullying” as the vote took place in the lobby.

Conservative members of parliament were allegedly unsure about whether they were allowed to vote with the Labour motion.

Discussions took place over uncertainty about whether it was being treated as a vote of confidence in the prime minister.

Tory MP Charles Walker broke down the chaos – what he described as a “shambles and a disgrace.”

Walker says it is “inexcusable” and there is “no coming back” for the government.

He’s had enough of “talentless” people in cabinet, adding he hopes it was “worth it” for those who supported Truss’ rise to power.

Walker has been an MP for 17 years, adding his “patience has reached the limit.”

Earlier, there were also rumours the chief whip, Wendy Morton, and deputy chief whip, had also stood aside.

Their role is to pull the party into line and ensure discipline, when required.

But the BBC is now reporting both will remain in post, for now.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
