jess phillips does suck, primarily because she affects a working class air and she's actually less working class than me and i'm very middle class. also everything she says is about herself.

buuuuut it seems silly to complain about people bitching about corbyn when he did the same to blair. i dont really begrudge the melts because i'd be doing the same if things were swapped, just on the side of good and justice.

i do worry they're gonna gently caress us by splitting though... actually thinking about it Jess Phillips might be an asset there. people who would swap to libdems might stay if melts like her can stay and get behind the party in a GE

I knew that different types of potato was a thing before I moved here, but actually seeing such a thing as potato variety in the flesh was a massive culture shock to me.

Back in Argentina you could either get washed and brushed potato, or slightly cheaper same type of potato except all crusted in dirt, also different grades of quality but it was all the same goddamn type of potato

I mean yes technically there was "white potato" and "black potato" and they were slightly different cultivars but they were basically identical in texture and taste

No one would give a toss about Jess Phillips if she wasn't trying to sabotage the left wing of the party at every turn

The self promotion, the self obsession, the twee stories of claiming she was working class when she would need a serious accident to stop being middle class as gently caress, it'd all be mockworthy but only that

It's the eagerness to brief against and leak against and be a general shitlord to the front bench and against her own party members, she's definitely the face of the PLP

Purging MPs isn't inherently good or bad. They're not the homeless guy outside Sainsbury's, they're the 650 most powerful people in the country, and they have no particular entitlement to the benefits of belonging to the various clubs within that body. All that matters is if kicking someone out will be helpful or unhelpful to your agenda. Boris getting out the chainsaw wasn't bad because it was evil (except in the sense that he was doing it in pursuit of an evil goal), it was bad because it was loving stupid. He simply did not have enough supporters in his corner to be able to afford losing and antagonising so many.

Something of a difference in levels and quality of media access, though? afaik Corbyn wasn't exactly a frequently-visible voice of the party to the same extent, apart from maybe as part of the Iraq war protests. It'd be fine if melts kept melting it up in Progress Magazine or whatever, but that side of the party has been much more mainstream-visible since 2015 than Corbyn ever was back in the day, I think. Could be wrong though, I wasn't paying much attention back then

No. There's huge differences between Corbyn & Philips. Yes, he voted against the whip many times, but Jeremy Corbyn was never barging his way into every media studio she could find to talk about how Tony Blair is a disaster & I hate him. The difference is significant.

This was five different carbs though. Manioc, bread, rice, potato, pasta, and if you really want to make it six, fried plantain. Anyone can pile up the potatoes, but finding that type of variety to go with a scrap of chicken takes commitment.

Manioc is v good as long as you're not poor enough to eat the harvest leavings and die of cyanide.

What is the difference here? That she's somehow better at getting her point across? That he just got on with being a backbencher for his constituents or that it doesn't really matter about the mp themselves so much, rather how they're deployed by a media with pre existing incentives to get a certain message out there? Or other.

The difference is that the media is responsive to one kind of wrecking over the other.

Bitter manioc domestication is actually fascinating. It was selected to be more toxic than its wild ancestral stock because the pesticidal benefits and gains in nutrition outweigh the effort that goes into making it safe. The 'sweet', non-toxic varietals are likely a much later consequence of selection from an already-domesticated stock.

Thanks for coming to my TEDx talk on starchy tubers.
