labour's calculation includes $2 billion in missed payments that east coast railways was planning to make, which would seem to assume that that entire part of the railway network became immediately unprofitable upon reverting to direct government control. i dont think that's true, but if it was it would be a good prelude to what's about to happen to the uk's entire trade policy

cancellation culture is hosed up, stands in the way of rehabilitation for individuals, and is deliberately intended to undermine wider solidarity. if someone does bad things, there’s no necessity to allow them into left spaces, but deciding that anyone who once spoke to someone who thought that the original offender wasn’t all bad should be excommunicated is not how movements are built.

I want to explicitly recommend ‘Exiting the Vampire Castle’ by Mark Fisher to anyone itt who hasn’t read it, but the version on opendemocracy is down, maybe because it’s in a book now. anyway it was true and the hoo-hah it caused in 2013 is just as relevant

What's gonna be real interesting is what happens after labour wins the next GE. The AS stuff is red meat to people who already hate Corbyn but I'm not sure the public at large either buys it or cares.

So once Corbyn is PM I wanna see what all these people calling him Hitler are gonna do.. Continue doing so for his entire 15 year reign I guess

The legit same thing that the American far-right did with Obama, which is to claim that every single action he does is the action of a extremely far-left malevolent dictator and tyrant.

Remember that the British press is legally required to simmer down the spin and give all candidates equal airtime in the week leading up to a general election, iirc, and it's during that time that Corbyn's approval skyrocketed in the last one. The media goes through a ton of effort to silence leftists to prevent people from finding out their policies. (unless of course they're Fox News and have drank too much of their own kool-aid)

It may be that I'm a cynical American but laws only matter if your prosecuted for breaking them. What's stopping the media from breaking it to prop up another Tory government? Wouldn't the government just ignore it in that instance?

Not really sure why this line has got so popular in Labour circles tbh, I didn't see any moderation of the attack lines and Labour's jump in the polls (e:in the last election) is much more likely to be due to them having loads of members who come out and campaign in that period (Tory members tend to be too few and too old for concerted doorknocking campaigns). Even if it was true last time when they'd all convinced themselves he'd win a negative number of voters, the odds the British political class will deal honestly with a leftist who might actually win are zero

A) them not noticing that happened (everyone noticed that happened)
B) not deciding to do it anyway and eating some fines and zero real consequences
