If Labour can add nationalising or local councilising the nursery care system I would be on board? Tia from the husband of a nursery nurse wife.


332, possibly the number of nurseries that close each week due to a paucity of funding to pay for the 30 free hours.

It would be basically inevitable that public funding for drug research would end up "in house" in this situation meaning it would be cut from GSK.
Also helps ensure a continued UK drug industry, protecting those jobs.

Yes that's definitely possible, but nationalising existing infrastructure cuts the wait time

I also missed something out earlier about drugs because I was reading the trade union act rather than listening, something about forcing proprietary drugs at a reasonable price or something I think?

Yeah it's a really good line and when it's delivered like this I can see it having a lot of success on the campaign trail. Despite what the media has always tried to spin it as this sort of simple, straight-talking logic has always been what Corbs does best.

The only real plus of the last 40 years living on the Isle of Dogs has been the coming of the DLR, where you can sit at the front and pretend to drive it. People who take those seats and just read or play on their phone should be thrown out like the Nazis in Last Crusade.

The red flag is much, much better if you take the billy bragg arrangement, it sets it to a marching drumbeat and it sound much more like a call to action.

My memory is really really bad apparently.

So, listen, real talk time.

Brexit's my job, it's in my job title. I've been doing one form or another of risk management or project management for companies affected by Brexit for the last 3 years. And it's really stressful, I deal with the poo poo in work, and away from work. I've had to explain that 'no, being more positive about brexit will not magically make things better' in a conference call with DExEU.

I've seen really, really awful predictions, beyond what's in Yellowhammer. Dr David Nicholl's mention of mortality statistics was definitely not a surprise to me.

I take breaks from talking about it, I've even taken work breaks to do volunteer work to feel better about myself for a time, back when we were finalising redundancies. Because focusing on the awful every day, gets depressing, and you need to find ways to deal. There are times I post a lot, times I deal with it a lot, and times I just focus on other things socially, to take a break where I can.

You don't have to be continually negative, you don't have to take whatever small gains, or positive events happen and then look for how to poo poo on them because of your negativity.

You can take a break. You can not drag everyone else down. I don't know what your situation is, but you don't have to constantly post how everything will get worse, and nothing will get better.

It's quite possible it will, but you posting 'i told you so' won't help anyone either.

Please, please stop focusing on the negative, find something positive to enjoy, to feel better about, or find a way to just avoid brexit/uk politics/us politics/whatever is causing this for a while.
