Starmer basically just held to the Labour strategy -"the people decided, we voted accordingly, now we're holding the government to account with these red lines and if they're not met we won't be voting for the final deal". A lot of talk about the importance of what's happening and doing it right. Pretty dull and sincere but that's where they're at, being the serious party that's part of the process and acts as the people's watchdog

He wasn't a very engaging speaker either! Props to Nick "mey waife" Clegg for straight-up calling the whole thing bullshit all night even though everyone hated him for it. No minds were changed

Get ready for people who complained about Corbyn taking this approach being all 'nice one Keir!'

The 'six tests' are
1. Does it ensure a strong and collaborative future relationship with the EU?
2. Does it deliver the “exact same benefits” as we currently have as members of the Single Market and Customs Union?
3. Does it ensure the fair management of migration in the interests of the economy and communities?
4. Does it defend rights and protections and prevent a race to the bottom?
5. Does it protect national security and our capacity to tackle cross-border crime?
6. Does it deliver for all regions and nations of the UK?

Wilson, who owns nearly 1,000 homes across Ashford and Maidstone in Kent, is said to have told a lettings agency, Evolution, that “coloured” people leave a smell in his property. The directive, seen by the Sun newspaper, reportedly reads: “No coloured people because of the curry smell at the end of the tenancy.”

...

Wilson, 69, who has not responded to requests from the Guardian for comment, told the Sun: “To be honest, we’re getting overloaded with coloured people. It is a problem with certain types of coloured people – those who consume curry – it sticks to the carpet. You have to get some chemical thing that takes the smell out. In extreme cases you have to replace the carpet.” The landlord is said to have barred domestic violence victims from renting his homes, as he reportedly claimed that jealous or angry partners would cause damage by kicking down front doors and punching holes in the interior. He is also said to have blocked plumbers, single parents, workers on low income or zero-hours contracts, families with children, pet owners, smokers and single adults.

It was literally this.

He has a list of ineligible jobs and careers for his tenants that include careers that are associated with minorities and immigrants, zero hour contracts and other unstable careers.

Unknowingly I was looking at one of his flats in Ashford a few years ago, and the letting agents kept asking me leading questions about my religious beliefs, which set off alarm bells.

The Conservatives want to delay anything on a second referendum so they can use it in the next election as successfully as it worked in 2015. Standing up against Sturgeon and the SNP for the Union (for English voters) versus a weak Labour party that could give it away for SNP support in the Commons.

Unless they can prove some sort of mental issues it's still murder, I'm just saying that sweeping statements like jBreton made are unhelpful at best, and really scummy at worst.

Just as an aside, determining whether or not someone has a mental illness is incredibly subjective when that person is trying to convince you they have a mental illness. If you assume Blackman would deliberately manipulate the system in that way it would be trivial for him to look up the symptoms of PTSD and then claim to suffer from all of them. Then the whole case rests on the credulity of the psychiatrist they chose to call as an expert witness, which in turn depends on a lot on how sympathetic they were to his crime in the first place.

The non-racist reason would be that anyone who is self-employed doesn't have a steady, predictable income, making them more likely to be unable to pay the rent if they have a bad month.

Lol if you think that's his reason though, especially given the whole 'Polish plumber' stereotype specifically.
