You'd have to rewrite the Labour rulebook for anyone other than the leader to be their PM candidate in a government. Clause VII, section 1a (viii).

Its great if Labour do announce it again because a)gently caress the shareholders b) technically it should be priced in because it's already known but if the value drops again then it's a great bit of proof for how dumb as gently caress stock market valuations are.

Julio Cruz posted:holy poo poo I don't think I saw the actual numbers before today That reporting seems a bit "correlation != causation" looking at the chart. 880 was nearly the yearly high, it has performed worse than 854p most of the time since early 2018 and was only that much in march. I'm not convinced that leaked announcement affected the price much if at all.

Clearly IDS is a marxist and acknowledges the power of systemic pressures as barriers. The systemic provision of the means of subsistence to old people is a barrier to them continuing to work.

I like how someone in the comments points out that the average life expectancy in many (poor) areas is less than 75 years. Literally work till the day you die.

Looking it up I couldn't find those exact words, but I did find this wonderful editorial in the Daily Mail:Daily Mail posted:"The German slogan 'Arbeit Macht Frei' is somewhat tainted by its connection with Nazi concentration camps, but its essential message, 'work sets you free' still has something serious to commend it.

Borrovan posted:That provision's actually pretty badly drafted, and just seems to presume that the leader would be PM rather than outright saying they must - it's not compatible with, for example, being the lesser party in a coalition. Which Labour was from 1940 to 1945, so what happened then...?

Or they just said "well this provision clearly just presumes a majority Government, which we aren't, so it must not apply", which you could kind of apply to a unity Government at a stretch (hence my concern) Or nobody particularly cared that much so nobody argued it
