Rarity posted:We don't even have a government right now. What do we have until the Queen's Speech is passed? I know May is still Prime Minister, but are any other MPs ministers? I would be amused if delaying the speech is pissing off her cabinet because none of them are getting their salaries.

Total Meatlove posted:The only challenger with a net positive approval rating is Ruth Davidson I don't want to give them any ideas but I do think that Davidson is a potentially devastating weapon in the Tory arsenal. I actually think she has the charisma and relatability to make the party palatable again and I even think she might be able to best Corbyn or at least match him because she genuinely appears human. So far they don't seem to have realised this though and I hope they continue to overlook her.

So far they don't seem to have realised this though and I hope they continue to overlook her. She does well because she's up against a single-issue party and the likes of Kezia Dugdale, and she gets little media scrutiny outside of Scotland. If she actually went up against Corbyn it would quickly be obvious that she shouts loudly about principles and quietly votes for things like the rape clause. In any case, the Grenfell fire makes it virtually a moot point. There is no potential Tory leader that will prevent them being blamed hard for this.

https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/875310328170631168 This is one of those things that makes you go "it is entirely possible that the lifespan of May's 'government' can now be counted in hours". (Double-digit hours, but hours.) I know they'll probably hang on longer than that but good lord.

Wait hang the gently caress on https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/875446958789468160 Y'all aren't putting sprinkler systems in new school buildings? Even in the depths of Republican hell I'm pretty sure it's a Federal regulation over here that every school needs a fire suppression system and while we don't have suppression systems like that in apartment buildings necessarily (tho aside from massive urban areas ours tend to be fewer floors overall & easier to evacuate), I know that smoke & monoxide detectors are loving mandatory in every home in the United States. How on earth did y'all get to this point? Did the ghost of Thatcher literally murder those people? edit: god drat @ above SpaceDrake fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Jun 15, 2017 |

But then there's the massive relief efforts by strangers which is massively uplifting and just leaves me feeling a little more positive. Ordinary people doing what they can with what they have. It doesn't override the tragedy and the needlessness of it all, and it doesn't subside the righteous fury at the way everyone in Grenfell Tower were let down by the council, the government, and property speculators, among other bastards.

The loving Mail is blaming 'green targets' for the building being cladded, and thus the fire. On it's front page. Just when I thought I couldn't hate them any more.

And eight dead friends. For the British fixer Scot Young, working for Vladimir Putin's most vocal critic meant stunning perks – but also constant danger. His gruesome death is one of 14 that US spy agencies have linked to Russia – but the UK police shut down every last case. A bombshell cache of documents today reveals the full story of a ring of death on British soil that the government has ignored

Newsnight reports that Grenfell tower could have been totally fitted with sprinkers for £200,000. The cladding cost over £2 million. The leader of Kensington council says fitting sprinklers would have made the renovation take longer.

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:I'm going with a 2018 election, Labour wins by a slim majority and calls it off quietly Is there any reason to think that Corbyn, who has decisively embraced hard Brexit complete with an end to free movement, is going to pull a 180?

CoolCab posted:she's not a member of parliament though? Candidates for leadership must be elected by MPs but afaik do not strictly have to be MPs themselves. It's an internal party thing anyway, the only reason it'd be a problem is negative press about an unelected PM, which hilariously is only even in the public consciousness because the Tories themselves spread it around to discredit Brown.

if the council aren't charged with negligent manslaughter I can't see how they're going to be able to show their faces in public again without fearing for their lives.

I'd disagree with this actually, depending on the outcome of the investigation. If the cladding is legal, which the newspaper articles I've read suggest it is, then blame should be directed at those who made the building regs, not those who followed them. (Of course, blame about the generally lovely state of fire safety in the flat is a separate matter, and I'd support a corporate manslaughter charge there if it was a contributing factor). Edit: <--- Ooh, shiny. Thanks, Fans!
