My only worry is that May will somehow cobble together a working majority and manage to hang on until Corbyn's momentum (if you'll forgive the term) fizzles out. It's absolutely possible that after a few months of business as usual the enthusiasm will begin to fizzle out and the next election will be another uphill struggle. Corbyn really needs to keep the pressure on, but he can only do that while his party stays united and perhaps more importantly the media isn't bored of him. His underdog upswing has made for a great news narrative which has kind of mitigated (alongside election broadcast rules) the press hostility to him ideologically, and I'm concerned they'll now just go back to alternating between ignoring him and releasing hit-pieces.

Can't disagree there, the effort to enjoyment ratio is golden as well. I have to concede breakfast though, from my experience American breakfasts blow ours out of the water. Of course if you eat the full range of US breakfasts regularly, you'll likely be in an early grave but I don't think British breakfasts are all that much better.

Renaissance Robot posted:I'm going to start renting a flat in a couple of months, and I'm kinda rusty on the subject of my rights. I'll be heading down to the CAB today but I wanted to ask here as well if I could. Honestly? If you're wanting a general overview of tenant's rights (such as they are in this glorious free-market neoliberal utopia of ours) I'd recommend giving the Shelter helpline a ring. It's freephone 0808 800 4444. Short answer though: Basically you've got nothing other than the landlady's goodwill until you actually enter into a contract. The landlady's unlikely to be obliged to give you a tenancy until they've contracted to do so. Heck if you want to get really technical an interest in land that doesn't take effect in possession (i.e. an agreement to enter into a tenancy in the future) isn't actually a legal interest unless it's by deed. Although that's mostly just me showing off as if you can prove you've got an agreement and money's changed hands etc then chances are a court will enforce the agreement under equity. The rent in advance thing: One thing to look out for is to make sure that the rent in advance is actually being used as rent. If it's money that's being taken with the implication that it will be refunded to you if you don't breach the contract then it's a deposit, no matter what words the contract uses. (As opposed to you never getting it back because it's the rent, presumably with the implication you won't be paying rent for your final period in the tenancy cause you're already in credit, that's rent in advance.) Deposits are subject to various protection requirements if you're an assured shorthold tenant, and it has various implications for the landlady's ability to serve notice and liability for compensation if she doesn't protect it properly. Doesn't necessarily mean you want to get into an argument with the landlady about it immediately, but it's worth keeping in mind if poo poo ever hits the fan. Really though, you're best off talking to an actual housing adviser, not just some rando on the internet.

Southampton City Council have started retrofitting sprinklers to all their tower blocks. I assume other councils are following suit?

I work for a company which maintains a fire systems and door entry systems for a lot of local authorities in North Wales and the north west . We have already seen a lot of panic from housing about the state of thier annual fire checks , fire doors with faults gone back months which weren't reported etc etc. At least after the fire in London it appears everyone is desperate to provide proper fire security for multi occupancy buildings and high rises. I'm hoping this means more local authorities are following suit. Also watched Corbyn speech feels very much like a bollocking from your parents . Proud.

Ugh, liberal bourgies don't want their house value to plummet, so I guess we'll keep the victims of that awful fire on the street or move them to Preston! What a bunch of assholes, as expected from the rich. On a more positive note, I love Ed. Is it too late to join the Milifandom?

So what is this law that made the cladding illegal? It appears no-one heard of any such law in the first few days after the fire, but it got brought up a few days ago without any reference to the actual law in question and has just been accepted as gospel since then without any questioning.

Also apparently he wasn't kidding about staying in permanent campaign mode, since he's still doing these clips: https://twitter.com/jeremycorbyn/status/877604197956562945 Is he getting younger and more handsome, or is it just me?

If you ever question your life choices, step back and think for a second about the fact that the 12 year old Tory MP for North Derbyshire, who only got voted in because no one liked the blairite Labour MP, still lives in Hasland and put his real address on the ballot paper.

Now the people whose names are on the tenancies will get rehoused here, and then they’ll rent the flats out on the private market. And the people who were actually living unofficially in the tower at the time of the fire won’t get rehoused.
