I actually do that one quite a lot but it's normally because it's almost always quicker to work things out in person but you still want to give them a dump of information and also want proof that you did actually send them that information.

(Also I make a point of ensuring just about every last thing I do in my job has an extensive paper trail just in case)

Gmail does so pretty good email services for small businesses; unlimited space, multiple address handling, IMAP, free. I assume they're aggregating all the emails for technically-not-corporate-espionage but lol if they're going to do anything to Bob's Electrical that austerity and brexit hasn't (while also spying on them).

If you use outlook you can alway set a rule looking for "contains words 'attached' AND does not have an attachment" and then tell it to delay sending by 30 seconds to give you time to realise.

I delay all my outlook emails by 30 seconds anyway (use the 'defer delivery' action)

I send many of my emails with a delay that means they actually get sent at 16:45, too late for the recipients to ask me anything about them

Interesting Twitter thread where people claim to be cancelling their Momentum memberships because of that vid they did just recently about debunking antisemitic conspiracies.

You let YouGov know which way you intend to vote when you sign up and can then filter the results by intention, and I don't particularly give a poo poo about the SDP.

Presumably it was an option for affiliation that no-one actually picked.

I'm assumign this has a very small sample size tbh, given that one which clearly only a single lib dem respondent picked.
YouGov daily opinions. I've been ignoring the paid surveys recently because they're constant, and they've been biased as hell, asking a ton of prep questions like "Were you aware a no deal Brexit could mean a shortage of food and medicine" etc, and then asking "Bearing in mind the previous questions, would you choose Theresa May's deal for Brexit or no deal?" Presumably so the papers can then quote that x% of the public would back the PM's deal.

Do not wander into the yougov opinions section. Or do, but take screenshots.

Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson, who has led the recent internal criticism of Jeremy Corbyn, had dinner with a key strategist behind the plan for a new centrist party on Thursday night.

Watson met with Philip Collins, a former adviser to Tony Blair who has been leading talks about a breakaway movement from Labour, at the upmarket Smith and Wollensky steakhouse in Covent Garden

Yes I felt quite pissed off receiving a momentum email with this video (I'm not in Momentum) but then when I reflect on some of the pro-Corbyn groups I was in on FB - same thing happens with most posts on I/P and decent threads on I/P and anti-semitism would inevitably start getting Rothschild comments at some point.

The group admins did their best to delete such comments but when there's 15000 in a group and only a handful of admins with lives to lead, it's a devil to keep up with.

”If truth be told, certainly culturally, I never felt totally comfortable in the Labour party, because I’ve never really been a massively tribal politician,” he told the Guardian, as he reflected on what he called the “roller-coaster ride” of the past fortnight, in his Westminster office.

“I have quite a different background from a lot of people in the Labour party – I’m of mixed heritage,” he said. “My father was a black, working-class man who arrived here with no money in his pocket from Nigeria; my mum came from more of a middle-class background, whose father had prosecuted the Nazis at Nuremberg. We have a really rich and diverse heritage in my family – but I sometimes felt it was a bit of a chain round my neck in the Labour party if truth be told.”

He added that when he briefly stood for the party leadership in 2015, before withdrawing, he was warned that being of BAME background could count against him.

“The team who were helping me organise, were told by quite a few MPs that they weren’t going to support me, because they didn’t think their working-class constituents would ever vote for a black man – and I was quite taken aback by it,” he says, adding that his new TIG colleagues are more representative of modern Britain.
