Teddybear posted:What allegations? And when was that photo taken? Only good search result was Torygraph so I'll save you from giving them a hit. He's a union boss who was accused of domestic violence years ago. No charges were brought and an investigation by the Union cleared him. This came to light after a radio interview in which, in protest at being pressed for a yes/no answer to a misleading question about some employee's alleged drinking, he repeatedly asked the interviewer if he had stopped beating his wife, which is a terrible idea but actually kinda funny (fake edit: domestic violence isn't funny, pressing an interviewer with a leading and completely unsubstantiated question is). Guilty even after proven innocent, I guess? Real edit: looking at the Twitter thread there's criticism of how the investigation was handled, so there might be a lot more to it for all I know, but surely we as a country can't accept that it's okay to punish people without a tria- BBC News posted:

Just because no charges were brought and the union cleared him doesn't mean he doesn't do it; the problem with domestic and sexual assault is that there is frequently a real culture of secrecy and denial about it (see also: the SWP).

Frankly I would love it if Corbyn can finally put the SWP out of its misery and crush it under its rapey hubris so its non-evil members can move to somewhere better.

From Fall of Unicorns thread: How Lightspeed responded to Caldbeck's alleged behavior quote:When Stitch Fix founder Katrina Lake told Lightspeed Venture Partners, an early investor in her company, that (then) Lightspeed partner Justin Caldbeck had sexually harassed her, the firm asked her to sign a non-disparagement agreement. Not signing, a source suggests, could have endangered her entire company's future. So she signed, and remained silent about her experience. In unrelated news, I wish I had the money to throw away on a U.S. Private Eye subscription.

BBC still reporting the pay cap may be reviewed in time for the autumn budget, which should be fantastic if the Tories really are going to do a thing they just voted down.

Considering only 7 MPs can swing a vote to the opposition now, a rebellion of five over something as important as the Queens speech should probably worry May.

All DUP voted against, Tory's where 313 against, so 317 take away two tellers and deputy speaker is 314 meaning a single abstentions/absences Full attendance from the minor parties - labour at 256, minus 2 deputies and 2 tellers would put their Max at 258 so 2 abstentions/absences By my scratch pad anyway

Should be able to give an accurate estimate though.

The official death toll is only people confirmed to have died, which is fine, but there's been a noticeable lack of estimation or speculation on the part of the entire media.

I don't know how accurate it is, but when I was listening to James O'Brien he talked about UK law being such that to count a person in the death toll, you must be able to name the particular dead person. If you see remains but don't know who exactly they are, you can't count them in the death toll.

So one of the Labour MPs absent was Clive Lewis. Can't figure out the other one, must have missed them in the list. A lot of the usual suspects (Woodcock, Mann, Hoey) fell in line.

Just checked the vote list again: all MPs sworn in who did not vote are:
In addition, Nik Dakin, Andrew Griffiths, Jeff Smith, and Heather Wheeler acted as tellers, who don't show up in division results.
