The seeds of Sir Keir Starmer’s humiliation on Thursday were sown nine years ago on a cold February evening in a House of Commons bar, when Labour MP Eric Joyce punched two Tory politicians.
By starting the blood-soaked confrontation, the former Labour MP for Falkirk set off a chain of events that could lead to a knock-out blow for his party as a viable electoral force.
In the 2012 incident, Joyce, a former Army major, shouted that there were ‘too many ‘f Tories in here’ before hitting a Tory councillor, splitting his lip, and headbutting Conservative MP Stuart Andrew, who was left with a bloody nose and concussion, which needed hospital treatment.
The team behind the project has been solidified, and the steps the group needs to take to open the library's doors in summer 2025 are well-defined, said library foundation CEO Ed O'Keefe.

After more than a year, Lorelei Brewing Company invited people out to the 4th annual Sips for Sealife benefiting the Texas Sealife Center.
Local vendors, artists, and of course the local brewery were in attendance for one of the biggest fundraisers for the center. For us, it s a no brainer to want to lend support where we can, and if we can have an event like this and raise money, said Eric Jolly with the Lorelei Beer Experience. It s really important to support local, local businesses, local non-profits. That to me is one of the most beautiful things about this event, said Jamie McWilliams, a volunteer at Texas Sealife.
