feedmegin posted:I've noted this a lot from my own Lib Dem friends, actually. Like, you guys want to say you're the real opposition? How about saying nasty stuff about the guys you were in coalition with for 2 years rather than having 90% of your tweets be about Labour. Tim Farron was just asked about the U-turn and his second sentence was about Corbyn, PMQs and the weakness of Labour. He genuinely seemed disappointed he kept being asked about the government instead. The Lib Dems dont want to oppose the Tories, they want to oppose the opposition. They need to remain on good terms with the Tories for when they coalition with them again.

LemonDrizzle posted:perhaps you could break this cycle by putting its key element out to pasture I'm ready & willing to listen to consider replacements and have been for a while, but 1997, untainted, inspirational, all the hopes in the country on his shoulders Tony Blair would struggle to win in 2020. Needless to say there is nobody with that degree of slickness in the current PLP. But hey, if you can find a candidate who'll run on a genuine left of centre platform, with the intention of devolving more power to the membership and local CLPs who would run against Corbyn, I'd welcome them.

kustomkarkommando posted:Whatever happened to forging an alliance with the Lib Dems come next election I can't see Labour getting close enough to a majority that they'd need the help of the Liberals dozen or so MPs to push them over the line. A coalition with the Nats from N.Ireland, Wales & Scotland would be far more viable & frankly even that looks like fantasy poo poo.

kustomkarkommando posted:Is Clive Lewis a Tory sellout for proposing it Nah, he's not the only one to have mentioned it. A whole of people in the Labour party are much less enthusiastic about the idea than they might have been in 2010 though, for obvious reasons, especially since at this point it's not clear *at all* what the Lib Dems would want or do as a coalition partner.

kustomkarkommando posted:Is Clive Lewis a Tory sellout for proposing it I mean if he wants to adopt the Tory policy of putting the lib dems in a gimp suit and riding them around the commons before nicking all their voters I wouldn't complain. I wouldn't suggest actually listening or trying to co-operate with them though.

jBrereton posted:lmao It's true though, land isn't exactly scarce so that part doesn't matter, VF glasshouses aren't actually cheaper to build (the opposite in fact) and any savings on transport costs are entirely negated by the much higher energy requirements for actually growing the bloody plants. Plus it kinda works against the reason why you are building the glasshouses in the first place, that is using solar energy to cut down on energy requirements. A typical vertical farming concept (GIS for vertical farming): Slightly less fanciful one: Pictured, not a vertical farm (Thanet Earth+): I'll shut up about it now.

Private Speech posted:It's still cheaper to spread it out so that you can utilise more natural sunlight, as evidenced by climate-controlled commercial glasshouses actually being A Thing in lots of places in Northern Europe, while vertical farming has a few experiments worldwide at best. Hell this is how my parents make a living since the 1970s, except they shut down during the winter, the long sun hours during summer help.

Have said before Labour could be run by a Potato and they would have a higher vote share. Corbyn is colossally toxic and his shambolic performance today will unfortunately be one of the things he is remembered for when he final does go. Also for farming in greenhouses, its the way its been done for Salad crops for decades and its shockingly cheap to do now per acre, issue is though that polytunnels and greenhouses require planning permission so can be a git to get started, depending on your local council of course.
