Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Nah. If an mp wants to show up to parliament drunk, sober, or not at all, it's up to them to do so and for their constituents to punish them for it. Although breathalyser tests with no consequences except from the results being public wouldn't be so bad

Maybe they should make the results public so the press can report on it when someone shows up drunk

Exactly. But it's up to the constituents.
