King George and Queen Elizabeth met the great unwashed whose houses had exploded in WWII. It was a fantastic morale boost for the eastenders to meet them face to face, and a sense of solidarity. They knew what to do, and Brenda is excused on age grounds and picking neddies at the Newmarket 4.15, but May doesn't have any regard for the people she supposedly represents. When royals are more in touch with the common man, you dun hosed up.

Could I have the gang tag too if thats still up for grabs? I don't have PMs and I want to rep my boy Corbz. Trying to get everyone I know to join the Labour party and I'm guilt tripping my dad because I donated to their campaign and he didn't despite being a lifelong labour man (voted for Smith lmao). I think the DUP coalition is going to really hurt the tories, there will have been a lot of people going "yeah they look bad atm, but the liberal media always makes them out to be bad" who are now having it proven to them beyond doubt. That goes for the moderate tories anyway, the hardcore retirees are gonna vote Tory until the sun goes out.

quote:She believes she won the election for Labour for the first time in the constituency’s history because even Conservative voters were fed up with the way the council treats its poorer residents. “We have a very rich council which spent £26m repaving Exhibition Road for tourists at the same time as it was closing nurseries, pruning youth clubs, closing older people’s lunch clubs, not investing in social care. I found that absolutely sickening. We have very large reserves, of around £300m.”

But this will discourage private industry, because if they can't build cheap deathtraps and then massively overcharge for them they won't build at all, and then where will people live? Stop bashing private enterprise, you joyless communist

Question to the UK goons: If May can't get a deal together by the 21st, what happens? Can she not give a Queen's speech without a solid (or as solid as it can be) deal with the DUP? What's her deadline to get her poo poo together or force a new election?

I th ink one of the most unfair things that trot alongside this tragedy is that Tories will take from this is the massive community spirit and generosity is that they will say " These people can look after themselves. Slash emergency service, and issue each block with a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit, job done. Oh, just to be nice will chuck in some foil blankets" whilst the dap goes through their files and sanction anyone who lived there and cancel their housing benefit due to a change of circumstances.

So I was talking with my mum last night and was worried from talking to her before that she would vote Tory (she lives in a Tory/Lib Dem seat, which might become a Tory/Labour seat come next election) as she's not very politically engaged and my dad is a swivel eyed UKIPer. Turns out she didn't know who to vote for so did I Side With and ended up voting Green

Baron Corbyn posted:She can give a Queen's Speech, there's a week of debate and then Parliament votes on it. If it's defeated, that's tantamount to a vote of no confidence and Parliament is dissolved. Gotcha. So she could give the speech even if negotiations are ongoing/not going well on the 21st, and gets a week to have the DUP vote with the Tories on the speech, and if they don't, new election. Seems unlikely to me that the DUP would pass up their one chance to be in government, or that the Tories would stomach another election given that it'd probably make them even more hosed than they already are.

I don't think the DUP care that much about being in the British government. For all the fearmongering about them, I don't think they particularly care about enforcing their brand of lunacy on the rest of the UK as they do solidifying their power in Northern Ireland, which makes the Tories' position more difficult as the government is also supposed to act as impartial arbitrators in the Northern Ireland power sharing agreement.

The DUP don't care about being in power in England. If they had to make unpopular concessions to partner with the Torys it could devastate their vote in Northern Ireland, where they actually have and care about power. There is a lot the DUP could lose from this.

The DUP won't be offered the chance to be in government. They'll be offered various incentives to ensure they support a minority Tory government - but it won't be as deep an arrangement as the 2010 coalition.

Makes sense, thanks for educating a stupid Yank. Does the DUP face any incentive to actively sabotage the good friday agreement? Extremists often do in other places, but I'm not sure how that applies to the Northern Irish situation.

On the topic of capability for work assessment, some years ago I managed to tear my TFCC, resulting in needing painkillers so strong that I barely knew what day it was, and my doctor saying strictly "DO NOT WORK OR USE THAT HAND HOLY gently caress GIVE IT AT LEAST 6 MONTHS HEALING AGGRAVATING IT COULD TURN IT INTO A COMPLETE SEVER AND YOU COULD LOSE THE USE OF YOUR RIGHT HAND (also, you shouldn't work while being hopped up on these painkillers anyway)". That obviously led me to need DLA which led to needing to see ATOS for an assessment. They found me fit to work on the basis I could lift my arm up. I appealed, since I holy gently caress needed the DLA to loving live, but by the time I got my appeal hearing, the injury had healed, and I'd got a new job :V
