Rayner rules out Labour going for a VONC this week. Meanwhile Boris suggests he might whip Tory MPs to vote against their own government if the SNP call one. I really, really hope the SNP don't decide to go for it this week, although I do think we're approaching the stage where Johnson might call one himself. I'm starting to get a feeling that's his master plan to get out of triggering the Benn act himself.

If he gets someone else to do it that will probably lessen the dent to the tories from doing it, though he will still have failed to brexit by his deadline.

I think the education and research university is maybe a good idea, but just like every other institution in society capitalism infected it and made it worse.

I think for maths and CS specifically you can’t usefully move away from talking in front of a board (or a slideshow) for most of the class. Proofs are basically solving difficult puzzles, and the blackboard-and-homework model boils down to telling them how to use their tools, walking them through some example solutions, and giving them some more puzzles to solve on their own time. The only alternative to that I can see would be solving the puzzles collaboratively, and that’s just not going to work well with a group of more than ten people or so - where a compulsory class is going to have 200+ students. A particularly well-staffed department (maybe a quarter of the Russell Group?) can afford to do that once every two weeks or so, with PhD students leading the groups.

I can't tell if the Tories are reacting to it because it's anti-Tory, because it might suggest violence or because it might suggest wealth redistribution.

Any VONC or forced election before Brexit date is kicked down the road by Boris is a dumb idea because it'll just setup the "Brexit Betrayal" angle they're so desperate to fight a GE with.

Lol the amount of mad in the comments talking about how this proves how evil the left is. Of course, the left hasn't actually assassinated a sitting Tory MP or anything but a hyperbolic sign is evidence of how dangerous we are. I mean, seems to me like if you don't want someone to call for your head maybe don't kill 130,000 people, just take responsibility for your actions and their consequences.

Qwertycoatl posted:"It wasn't only austerity, it was also other policies" The main argument seems to be that the 130k figure might not be perfectly accurate, so it doesn't matter what the true total is of those killed by government policy. It's exactly the same talking point used against gun control in the US, as if there is an acceptable non-zero number of school mass shootings per year.

Yeah, like you could directly link only 5,000 deaths to austerity and it would still be way too loving many.

This is going to end up with a Tory getting killed and Boris trying to declare martial law to root out the 'far left extremists' responsible, isn't it? The country's just dumb enough to fall for it as well. "Extremists are trying to take away are brexit!" (That was started and hyped up by extremists)
