- LatteLazy 4y agoI think you're confusing the government (politicians and political appointees) with the state (the civil service and employees of various organizations)...
- blibble 4y agono, government is not a synonym for "cabinet" the term "government" includes government departments (Whitehall), which are mostly staffed by civil servants meanwhile the state ("The Crown") is something completely different again
- mytailorisrich 4y agoThere is limited time to debate bills in Parliament and MPs have limited time to ponder them. My cynical speculation is that relevant interest groups think that this is a good time to push through legislation that will allow something that the public is overwhelmingly opposed to because they can hide behind the cost of living crisis/ War in Ukraine and claim that this would help the country's food independence and food prices.
