If a normal non-hill wonk person watched the House floor votes on any of the parts of the foreign aid package and tracked that bill number (ex hr8034, which is what the vote board showed) on congress .gov, they would see the Senate never acted on the bill & it never passed

Fun fact I didn't realize until I looked it up yesterday for pod-fodder: GOP votes for Ukraine $ 9/28/23- 101 for $300 Million 4/20/24- 101 for $60.8 Billion Nays actually came down from 117 to 112 210 Dems each time, so 311 total for both roll calls
This week in parliamentary history (1880) sees the great debate come back again for yet another session. No, not that one. Or that one. The other one...

Not content to name a swimming pool after a prime minister who drowned, Australians also put a forger on a banknote and named a prison after him.
FUN FACT: While an acting-president under 25A, Sec 3 may sign a bill to make it a law, an acting-speaker under Rule I, Cl 8(3) may not even refer a bill to a committee.* (* – per a [bad] House precedent established in 2023 by "acting" Speaker McHenry)

Better week did not last.
Given Sunak’s better week & this week sees NI cut in pay packets + state pension up 10% will be fascinating to see if polls move in May. If they do, maybe better economy/campaign can narrow things. If not suggests people just stopped listening & hard to see what will shift things
This defection means the Tories’ majority has nearly *halved* since the general election: from 80 seats to just 41.
“I find it increasingly difficult to look my NHS colleagues in the eye” Former Conservative minister and MP Dr Dan Poulter has quit his party to join Labour. He tells #BBCLauraK he believes that Keir Starmer can be trusted to run public services bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Dan Poulter is not standing at the next election. For any party. He will dedicate more time to his work as an NHS doctor specialising in mental health. I've already seen a dozen tweets claiming he's defected to somehow save his (23,000 majority) seat.
It’s fantastic to welcome Dr Dan Poulter MP to today’s changed Labour Party. It’s time to end the Conservative chaos, turn the page, and get Britain’s future back. I’m really pleased that Dan has decided to join us on this journey.

As with Sunak you get high commentariat popularity - and may even lead to an initial bounce, but hard not to assume trajectory is then downhill as appeal is not to a coalition that will support her.
Forbes as SNP saviour suffers from same problem as Sunak. Popular with people who won’t actually vote SNP, she risks instead losing votes the other way as Sunak has to Reform, Forbes may to progressive parties. Instead problems for SNP as with Tories seem structural not personal.
