Oberleutnant posted:Ah jesus lol. gently caress this country. Look on the brightside, at least we're going to have another financial crash, house prices will stay inflated because of course they will, and thousands will be plunged into poverty, hundreds if not thousands will commit suicide or die while on benefits, probably after draconian sanctions over minor infractions, more people will have to deal with depression, anxiety & other mental health disorders, putting further pressure on an already stretched & under-funded NHS, but it might succeed at popping the illusion that the Tories are a safe pair of hands in a crisis, giving Labour a chance in 2020. Actually, that last part probably won't happen. Groovy.

Former PLP chair really having a meltdown in his maiden speech in the House of Lords...quote:“I would like to say to my own party leadership that last week, I think, was a disastrous week for us. When we should have been concentrating and holding the Government to account for the floods and for this Bill, we involved ourselves in an unnecessary reshuffle and we lost two of our best communicators, Michael Dugher and Kevan Jones.

The gently caress is it with people going "We should focus on the floods and the Tories" and then immediately ignoring their own advice and attacking their own party.

Trin Tragula posted:Rearrange the following words: due, BBC, decision, on, charter, December, renewal, by One of the particular reforms which the tories had in mind for the BBC charter was to reduce its renewal period from once a decade to once every 4 or 5 years, meaning that each government would have at least one chance to gently caress them over. As it stands the BBC should (in theory) enjoy a certain level of guaranteed independence because there's a reasonable chance of a change in government in between the BBC holding a government to account and their charter coming up again each decade. I say in theory because that's how it is now and they're still sniveling, subservient cowards to the government. communism bitch fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jan 12, 2016 |

The Invivisble Hand is angry with us, and we must toil to appease it.

This is all good news though for conservatives - the disruptions to NHS service will lead to further funding cuts in a virtuous cycle. Hopefully we'll see a shift to private healthcare over the next decade or so.

The BBC charter length really ought to be extended to 20 years or so, or at least long enough that they don't spend the majority of their time blowing in the political wind. Even ten years is too frequent to ever be truly independent.

Fans posted:So the Doctor’s strikes are on. Time for a fun game of “Where in the world is Jeremy Hunt?” Just for the record on this, here's the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxj5ItDhaJw It's not even the interviewee who says it, it's some off-camera minder. The interviewee doesn't even really seem to know why he's there. PMQs tomorrow MUST be all about this, if Corbyn has even a lick of sense he will co-ordinate with Angus Robertson at the very least to just keep slapping Dave with questions. I mean, he should be co-ordinating his entire party to rain down misery on the PM, but lol good luck with that. thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jan 12, 2016 |

Chocolate Teapot posted:What upcoming crash?

It's nothing to do with us, it's everyone else! And it would be worse under Labour without STRONG ECONOMY that's limiting the damage and not causing it or anything

Basically should be 6 questions regarding the Tories' utterly awfulness on this and more pressure on the government. That they've accused the BMA of trying to tear down the government shows they're in real siege mode. That said i'm glad it's called "Prime Minister's Questions" and not "Prime Minister's Answers", because the responses to each question will be "blah blah blah WHAT ABOUT COMMUNIST CORBYN LOONY LEFT"

I propose a new series of children's books called "Where in the world is Jeremy Hunt?" Such adventures could be the time he was behind a tree, the time he was anywhere but in parliament, and maybe a wildcard one where he's helping to get Michael Gove out of that toilet. All the proceeds can go to the child victims of Tory MPs.
