Who are these people? Just wrap the sandwich in foil . It's better than carrying a big 2l ice cream tub everywhere yeah you dig?

And obviously work in an office with a decent kitchen, because loving lol at trying to make an entire sandwich sat in a van on a site or working in a warehouse where the kitchen facilities are a sink. Honestly I thought it was gonna be about the pro strat of going to the deli counter and buying the ingredients for one sandwich

The NI numbers will be referring to the fact that Sinn Fein do not take their seats, so do not contribute to the numbers needed for a majority, i would assume.

Wow if that YouGov projection is correct then Labour would indeed have a chance at forming a coalition government. It might be quite chaotic though. May was talking about it today as it happens.

Or nothing gets passed for a while except the occasional bill with cross-party support, and we get another election in a couple years? Depends on just how short of the nut they are. Taking that prediction as our scenario (and bear in mind that's "Lord Lucan rides Shergar down Whitehall" levels of unlikely), then Labour+SNP+LD could squeak through but Corbyn would have to promise them both the Earth to get such a deal. I suppose there's a nonzero chance that, while bloviating about A50 and the need for leadership, some Labour MPs might be tempted to cross the floor (or at least sit as independents in a confidence and supply deal) but the most likely suspects to do so would never throw away their solid (and solidly-Leave) majorities on that. Which has made me realise that the actual worst-case scenario for the current election although thankfully even less likely is that Labour win a very small majority and Corbyn is then at much more risk of attack from his party than May would be with a small majority, as he'd have to give Benn et. al. everything they wanted just to keep control.

Cerv posted:not sure what the second part refers to. Took me a minute to figure out what the heck the second bit was about. Apparently May argued against reinstating parliamentary expenses to Sinn Fein after they where suspended at the recommendation of the Independent Monitoring Commission following the Northern Bank robbery in 2005 - Sinn Fein receiving parliamentary expenses without taking their seats was not part of the agreement and was introduced by Labour in 2001 after failed Sinn Fein legal challenges on the issue. May basically argued the Tory point that parliamentary expenses should not be extended to non-sitting MPs (which they argued when the bill was initially tabled), couple of other parties also chipped in saying that although they didn't oppose standard expenses the bill was set to grant SF short money which several parties (including the SDLP) disagreed with. Not really trying to derail the peace process considering uh what else was going on in 2006

jabby posted:Of course it won't, but presuming it's at least truthful about the information being leaked it means someone from Labour is leaking specifically to the Telegraph. Wasn't the Ruth Smeeth "floods of tears" incident at Labour's anti-semitism enquiry launch due to someone commenting on the fact a Telegraph journalist was handing her a press release? Sadly I think it's not that uncommon, although it seems really short sighted to me, it's not like you'll ever get a fair hearing in that paper as a Labour MP, no matter how far on the right of the party you are.

Which means no more calls for Corbyn to resign if it happens and maybe a grudging admission that he's not all bad? Anyway I get the feeling even that result is... optmistic. But still... hope, right?
