Parliament has a handy guide to the difference.

Parliament and the Government are different. They have different roles and do different things.

What is the Government?

HM Government consists of the Prime Minister, their Cabinet and junior ministers, supported by the teams of non-political civil servants that work in government departments.

Chamberlain who stalled until rearmament could take place rather than going off half-cocked?

Cameron? May? Johnson? Fucking Truss?

He is disappointing on the Middle East, but it’s literally his job to get the best deal for the UK regarding US trade. If that means tickling a fragile ego, sure why not, an easy win. If it’s proper labour you want, he’d have to denounce every US president since FDR as a fascist abomination.

Starmer won’t do much if anything about it. They’ve already sent the sternly-worded email. If anything he’s relieved that there’s a distraction from one of his MPs being arrested for child rape yesterday.

It’s the government’s responsibility to ensure the safety of MPs, but it seems they were there on parliamentary or personal business bit government business.

Thing is even if they admitted it no-one would do anything about it. Why the wasted effort?

In the Westminster System, Parliament and Government are not the same thing.
