Disappointed & somewhat surprised to see that the conference arrangements committee elections saw the 2 right wing candidates win, & quite comfortably. Especially disappointed to see Katy Clark didn't get in.

lol, apparently because Abbott was deposed today he won't receive a Prime Ministerial pension. If he'd made it to Friday he would have.  A good week in politics.

Harper is apparently on course to do badly. Apparently he shut down a poo poo ton of veterans centres and they were a key demographic for always voting Tory. So bad that veterans have to be hidden when he visits places because they are object-throwing levels of angry at the piece of poo poo.

nothing to seehere posted:I saw that section, but I had no clue about any of them and left them blank: I imagine many others did. You should have read UKMT, someone (forget who) posted a good guide on each of the 5 candidates. That said, when you received your ballot there was also a booklet which set out the positions of the 5 candidates. It was quite useful for CAC & National Policy Forum candidates.

John Healey's just stood up in Parliament and said that the Labour Party membership is now somewhere around 325,000 which is twice that of the Tory's. (I'm certain that this number will be going up over the next few weeks!)

It would be hard to fault them if there was, the rest of the party membership just told them to gently caress of in the clearest terms.

Worth remembering that the 2nd reading of the Trade Union Bill is due to begin at half 3. Oh, & the Fire Brigade Union is talking about re-affiliating with Labour, while the RMT say this will be discussed at their next conference. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Sep 14, 2015 |

 Trade Union Debate starting now. Bercow's turned up as well, and has stated that he's had at least 62 requests to speak at this debate so this could be exciting. He's also repremanded people for speaking and leaving. Bercow's doing his job as speaker quite well.

Guavanaut posted:They then turned around and said that the conclusion was 'not much to worry about' right after saying that 35% of jobs could be replaced, because hairdressers and journalists are at low risk. I think the lack of alarmism is worse. We could be looking at greater unemployment than the Great Depression (or more likely disguising that through zero hour contracts and apprentice robot washers) but it's no big deal guys, no need to change how we look at employment and being able to live. Point. I think alarmism bugs me more because it doesn't guarantee a discussion of our attitude to work but almost always concludes with either "full luddism now" or an encouragement to doomsday prep in advance of the rise of Skynet.

Honestly, this is huge, and will become a growing issue, especially as people likely to be hit are lower-skilled people who have less skills and less financial backing to be able to comfortably retrain. And of course there's no room for the unemployed in a Britain Living Within It's Means so

Dennis Skinner, never change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHGDDMAP5qU Also I am stoked about McDonnell as the Shadow Chancellor. He is one of the very few who strongly opposes the blacklisting activities going against trade union activists, and one of the founding members of the Blacklist Support Group, which was founded to bring compensation to those hurt by the practice. He is a principled man who I am willing to put my trust in for that position. e; if you have missed it somehow, read up about the trade union blacklisting. It is my chief interest (have family on the list). There is a fantastic book by Dave Smith and Phil Chamberlain out there which gives the whole story, called Blacklisted: The Secret War between Big Business and Union Activists.

Going straight from Leslie to McDonnell is like some bizarre fever dream. It's great, and I am glad people who were previously on the absolute fringes of the party for no good reason are suddenly on the front bench.
