It all got a bit much for Labour MP Clive Lewis who decided to simulate shooting himself in the head during a House of Commons debate on the finance bill.

The MP for Norwich South, and shadow treasury minister, was filmed shaking his head and laughing while his colleague Anneliese Dodds was interrupted by a Tory MP.

Lewis then molds his fingers into the shape of a gun, inserts them into his mouth before pretending to shoot himself in the head. The MP even shakes his body, to account for recoil.

The joke received a mixed reaction on social media, with some attacking the MP for ‘disrespect’ and conducting ‘behavior ill-befitting of an MP.’

While others, including the founder of the ‘MenandBoysCoalition’, defended Lewis, stating he just has a childish sense of humor. 

The MP’s particular brand of jokes has landed him in trouble in the past. He apologized after he was filmed saying to a man: “Get on your knees, bitch,” at a fringe event at the Labour Party Conference.

The first non-human in history is set to testify before the House of Commons next week to discuss the fourth industrial revolution and what it means for the future of education in the UK.

Pepper the robot, from Middlesex University, will appear before the Commons Education Select Committee on Tuesday, October 16. The committee is still ironing out the details of how the interaction will be managed, but Commons Education Select Committee Chair Robert Halfon believes that the fourth industrial revolution is possibly the most important challenge the UK will face over the coming few decades.

“If we’ve got the march of the robots, we perhaps need the march of the robots to our select committee to give evidence,” Halfon said, as quoted by TES. “If you think we are going to be the living version of ‘The Matrix,’ it is not going to be like that.”

It is unclear whether Pepper will be pre-programmed to answer the questions, as is often the case in the House of Commons, or whether it will rely on artificial intelligence.

“This is not about someone bringing an electronic toy robot and doing a demonstration, it’s about showing the potential of robotics and artificial intelligence and the impact it has on skills,” said Halfon.

“Many of our [government] services will begin to benefit from the huge potential of robotics  or, more accurately, robotic process automation (RPA),” Chief Executive of the Civil Service John Manzoni said earlier this year, as quoted by The Independent.  

Pepper the robot was built by SoftBank and was first unveiled publicly in 2014. Versions of Pepper have operated as receptionists in UK offices and as teaching assistants in UK schools.

It is also unclear whether Pepper will be drafted in as a special adviser to assist in the ongoing Brexit negotiations or whether a similar AI was employed to teach British Prime Minister Theresa May how to dance.

The House of Commons budget is set to skyrocket this year, as MPs drain the coffers to pay for enhanced security measures and to fix crumbling buildings. Spending will jump 50 percent.

Speaker of the House John Bercow signed off on the increase, which will cost the UK government a whopping £600 million.

Spending on infrastructure will nearly double, jumping from £154 million to £304 million in the 2018-19 financial year. The day to day running of the estate will shoot up a staggering 466 percent, from £56 million to £317 million.

The spending increase will break the bank at a massive £800 million, as the House of Lords’ budget is expected to rise by 10 percent.

But who or what is the main culprit for the spend spike? Well, it’s none other than scaffolding-covered Big Ben and the Elizabeth Tower, after the price of renovations doubled earlier estimates. The cost to renovate the iconic building is now expected to top £61 million. That’s one expensive clock!  

Beefed up security measures also drained the coffers, with a House of Commons spokeswoman confirming that spending had been increased following the Westminster terror attack in March, where terrorist Khalid Masood mowed down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, before managing to get onto the grounds of Parliament where he fatally stabbed a policeman before being shot dead.

“The increase in the 2018/19 budget compared to 2017/18 is due to additional spending in areas including security and policing (following the March attack) and essential maintenance and refurbishment, the cost of which increases as the condition of the building continues to deteriorate,” the spokeswoman said.

“It is currently estimated to be around 10 percent higher than the £178.6 million total budget (both resource and capital) for 2017/18,” the spokesman said.

“This is largely due to increased security costs and the increasing costs of maintaining the Palace of Westminster and the wider Parliamentary Estate,” the spokesman added.

“The House of Lords administration has worked hard to make savings, with the resource budget in 2018/19 lower in real terms than it was in 2010/11, despite increasing cost pressures in a number of areas.”

“The total budget for 2018/19 will be published before the end of the financial year.”

A Commons debate on a wider restoration program for parliamentary buildings was set to take place on Thursday, but has been postponed to allow more MPs to return from the Christmas holidays.

James Rees-MoggREX

James Rees-Mogg is being tipped as the future prime minister

He is known in Parliament as “The Honourable Member for the early 20th century”, has gained a reputation for his traditional dress sense, cut-glass accent and insistence on the importance of good breeding. 

But this aloof image is delightfully subverted by genuine charm and warmth and now Jacob Rees-Mogg, the 48-year-old MP for North East Somerset, has become the most unlikely social media star since, well, .

There are dozens of Facebook pages devoted to Rees-Mogg, some with tens of thousands of followers, and since joining the social media platform Instagram, the charismatic MP has built up a huge online following with his account proving even more popular than that of Prime Minister .

There are internet groups rejoicing in names such as “The Church of Mogg”, websites selling T-shirts with his face photoshopped over an image of Godfather star Marlon Brando bearing the title “The Moggfather” and a twitter hashtag, #moggmentum, devoted to his popularity.

And far from satirising or downplaying his upper-class image, they are all celebrating it.

I am a late convert to social media and it’s turned out to be great fun

James Rees-Mogg

This may all come as a surprise in an age when a 68-year-old Marxist can address thousands of teenagers at Glastonbury but it would appear that the key to his popularity with the Conservative youth is his wit, charm, integrity and traditional British values.

In that sense, Rees-Mogg is the “anti-Corbyn”.

“I am a late convert to social media and it’s turned out to be great fun,” he said recently.

“We’ve put up some jolly photographs. You hear a lot about unpleasantness but it’s reassuring that there is a lighter touch.”

Among these photographs is a snap of the MP and his eldest son wearing matching suits outside a tattoo parlour with a “Vote Labour” poster in its window.

Rees-Mogg captioned the photo: “We shall have to take our business elsewhere.”

Another is a spoof article from website the Daily Mash with the headline, “Jacob Rees-Mogg sent from 1923 to save Conservative Party”.

His most recent post is a photo of him cradling newborn Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher – while wearing a double-breasted suit. Sixtus is – appropriately enough – his sixth child with wife Helena, daughter of aristocrat Somerset de Chair.

His other children are called Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, Tom Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Peter Theodore Alphege, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam and Mary Anne Charlotte Emma.

If the sudden popularity of a man famed for such a traditional image seems strange, it has to be said that it is simply the latest manifestation of a public fascination with Rees-Mogg that extends back to his childhood.

Born into a wealthy family – his father William was the editor of The Times and a life peer – Jacob was educated at Eton and Oxford, and was already making headlines when barely into double figures.

Aged 10, Jacob became fascinated by the financial markets.

He had his first letter published in the Financial Times aged 12, and that same year addressed the AGM of a company he had invested in to advise them against a potential takeover.

At Eton he is said to have paid other boys to polish his shoes and, according to an article written in the Oxford student newspaper Cherwell, also employed a boy to follow him with an umbrella on cross-country runs.

That same article reveals that he had already made a million on the stock market by the time he arrived at Trinity College, Oxford, and it was at university that he not only began his political career but also became a fixture in the student newspaper gossip columns.

After running unsuccessfully for president of the Conservative Association, he was a regular speaker at the Oxford Union where he extolled the virtues of cycling around the city in morning suit and mortarboard.

Such was his lovable eccentricity that by the time he left aged 21, there was even an official university Jacob Rees-Mogg Appreciation Society.

A highly successful career in the City followed, before – once again – his political ambitions took over.

Although his first attempt to win a seat in Parliament saw him ridiculed at the time, it perhaps can now be seen as providing an example of precisely what makes him so popular today.

Contesting the Labour stronghold of Central Fife in the 1997 general election, the 28-year-old hit the campaign trail in a smart blazer and tie. He responded to false accusations that he campaigned in a Bentley with, “It was a Mercedes. A Bentley would be most unsuitable for canvassing.”

It took until 2010 for Rees-Mogg to win an election in the seat of North East Somerset, and since entering Parliament his refusal to compromise his background, beliefs or appearance has won him admiration across the political divide.

The gay SNP MP Mhairi Black even once jokingly described him as “my boyfriend”.

In an age of career politicians who are schooled in the delivery of vacuous media-trained platitudes, Rees-Mogg makes a refreshing change.

His mastery of the Commons floor has also become legendary – in one long speech designed to block the passage of the Sustainable Livestock Bill he covered the quality of Somerset eggs, the sewerage system, the Battle of Agincourt and the fictional pig the Empress of Blandings, who won silver at the Shropshire County Show three years in a row.

He has also proposed tongue-incheek motions that council officials should be made to wear bowler hats and that the Daylight Saving Bill should be amended to give Somerset its own time zone, 15 minutes behind London.

In 2012 he entered the record books for the longest word ever spoken in Parliament: floccinaucinihilipilification – meaning “the habit of considering as worthless”, which he used in a debate on Europe.

The is a topic on which he is passionately engaged.

He has described the victory for the Leave campaign as “a wonderful liberation for the country”, adding “no political event in my lifetime has been better or more exciting for the nation”.

He is passionately engaged about the EU

Following a particularly impassioned speech in the Commons earlier this year, Brexit secretary David Davis declared: “As ever, my right honourable friend speaks for England.”

As a committed Catholic, Rees-Mogg opposes same-sex marriage.

He has also said that he would “almost certainly vote for Donald Trump if I were American”.

It is this sort of integrity that is fuelling Moggmania.

According to a former colleague: “You don’t get into Trinity College, Oxford, or go anywhere in the City by being stupid.”

The question is: does The Moggfather have what it takes to make it to Number 10?

(Mic) — Thursday’s U.K. election may have ended in a hung parliament, but there was at least one group that saw a decisive victory: women.

According to the Guardian, a record number of women will take seats in Britain’s House of Commons this session, with at least 207 female MPs having been elected in Thursday’s vote. The previous iteration of the House of Commons had 196 women.

Of those 196 women, 191 had been elected in 2015, the first year the total number of women elected to parliament in all of history surpassed the number of men elected to a single parliament.

Sam Smethers, the chief executive of the Fawcett Society, a U.K.-based charity for women’s rights, sees some significant progress in these numbers — but she said the march toward gender equality could stand to move along much faster.

“The number of women MPs in parliament has broken the 200 barrier for the first time,” Smethers told the Guardian. “But while this is progress the fact remains that just 32% of our MPs are women, up from 30% before the election.

“We are moving forward at a snail’s pace and this is embarrassingly slow.”

Some might say the same of the United States, whose number of women in Congress remained stagnant following the 2016 election. However, despite the middling numbers of congresswomen overall, the election won women of color a record number of 38 seats in Congress.

Smethers urged her fellow Brits to continue fighting for better representation.

“It is time for a radical new approach,” she said. “We have to legislate to require the parties to select at least 45% women candidates.”
