did owen smith actually attend a strike or is that a lie too? I mean attend it, not cross the picket. e; today a Japanese man killed a shitload of disabled people in a facility because he was not allowed to involuntarily euthanize them. He is currently being held by the police, 19 are dead and 26 more seriously injured. Sadly, he didn't realise he could simply join the conservative party and murder all the disabled people he likes.

What keeps happening every two weeks to flip the polls? Does the electorate run on some kind of really low frequency AC?

Yeah but why is it creating a rough sine wave over multiple polls? Seriously are the electorate being controlled by the lunar phase or something? Does the PLP have a secret moonbase that gets more power to its mind control ray at certain times of the month?

It's an ideal foundation for our economy! We can export ten spuds a year and the rest of the economy can be services for the ten spud export company.

Here's some rich people with some great ideas lamenting the election of Corbynquote:The problem with Smith was he was not a known face, Rosenblatt said, adding that he did not expect the former shadow work and pensions secretary to win an election. “All one can hope is that if he wins, then he will be able to bring back people into the shadow cabinet who have real talent, real ability,” Rosenblatt said.  quote:David Abrahams, a north-east businessman who has [secretly] given the party more than £650,000, said he did not expect Smith to beat Corbyn and expressed some caution about backing a completely new political party. However, he said he believed the way forward was for Labour’s anti-Corbyn MPs to form their own opposition in parliament. "Let's just pretend Corbyn never won, this will work out great"

I'm not sure this is news to anyone but the reason Labour is doing so poo poo in the polls is because it's a giant flaming trash can which most people don't want anywhere near the government, not because of judgements on policy either waytooterfish posted:She was hailed as a genius because they're 100% guaranteed to gently caress it up and destroy their own careers, not because they're the best people for the job. Definitely a genius move because people love Prime Ministers presiding over giant fuckups I think the recent elaborate theories about internal Tory politics, beginning with the 'poisoned chalice' one about Boris, are mostly nonsense, just attempting to read some kind of grand plan into what probably amounts to just a combination of short-term manoeuvring and impulsive decisions. Putting the hard right people in charge of foreign policy makes sense given the facts that a) May needs to unite the hard right with the softer wing of the party, b) this means putting the hard right people in a few influential positions, c) this is much more sensible to do with the jobs delivering Brexit (which people just voted for, including most Tories) and not economic and social delivery offices (where people haven't voted for hard-right policies and don't support them).

marktheando posted:Is all the leadership and NEC election stuff for union members done through email or will they send stuff through the post? My mum refuses to check her work email while she's on holiday (she works in a school so that's quite a long time) and I'm concerned she won't get to vote as a result. I got an email with a link to vote in the NEC election a couple of weeks ago, and a letter with a voting slip (and raffle tickets!) this week. The ballot closes on 12th August, so there's still quite a bit of time left.

Hello friends, you might remember me from last week with my "sexual abuse to a child perpetrated by her father" case I was a jury member for. Well I have another one this week, and it's drug related and in a way I'm relieved it's not another icky one, but at the same time upset that it's not a bit more, well, important (for reasons I am not going to disclose)

To be fair, the current system already leads to child segregation between those who can afford to move into areas with good schools and those who don't have the ability to move and stick with local inner city schools.
