I am so sorry.

Changing the subject, a friend of mine overheard an elderly couple on his more than usually packed commute this morning "there seem to be an awful lot of young people on this train". He couldn't see if it was XR or PV but it did get me thinking, do they coordinate so they don't inadvertently blockade their own protesters from getting into the capital?

Jeremy Corbyn must step down as leader of the Labour party because he is not fit for the job, a motion by the Labour left group the Momentum group has tabled in the Labour conference.

In the motion, written by Momentum's national steering committee member, Emma Reynolds, it says Corbyn is unfit to lead due to "his role in undermining and dividing the party and the labour movement", the Guardian reports.

Labour's leader has lost the support of the general secretary of the GMB union since he was elected earlier this month, with the group saying he has been unable to respond to attacks on the union in recent weeks. He has also faced claims that his position on Brexit gives him "special privileges" for the party.

Corbyn has faced increased pressure to replace Corbyn after he failed in his efforts to secure the support of enough MPs to prevent an even more disastrous defeat during Wednesday night's vote.

The former Labour MP Yvette Cooper, who lost her position as shadow home secretary in the vote, has said Labour would rather lose a leadership contest than split the party.

Putting Guardian CiF headlines into AI is amusing.

quote:

Labour’s nationalisation plans should be debated – but not with misleading figures.

On his first day in Westminster, Mr Corbyn stood to condemn austerity. The only problems that a rightwinger has with cutting public spending and cutting the social sector is that it causes too much suffering. You would never know that from reading the comments section of this column.

For example, an MP who calls for a "rebalancing" of the state towards the market – one who wants businesses to pay more tax – would probably not be a member of the SNP or Lib Dems.

But Labour's policy of increasing corporation tax, which would cut revenue by £10.5bn, is widely accepted as one of the party's most important policies. So what happens to the £10bn that would otherwise have been raised?

Well it turns out that many of those who want to cut the budget share the view that the money should go to benefit the lower income households and children that people live with. That would include the people of Scotland – the people that will have more disposable income in the next Parliament – and the people who have made the most of their time over here – not to worry about them losing their jobs, to help them to find work or to pay the bills they have for the next 12 or 16 years.

"And I know that the Scots will appreciate that it will also be the most efficient way of dealing with the long-term challenges the UK faces, from economic growth to our security and the role of diplomacy with the world."


The Independent has launched its #FinalSay campaign to demand that voters are given a voice on the final Brexit deal.

Not casting aspersions on UKMT's literary knowledge, but it's possibly more well known from The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode

The finger-curling when you make a wish also isn't in the short story I think, that detail's from the Simpsons.

The Simpsons version is also way better, the shortstory is kind of straightforward and too obvious. Maybe it's just aged badly, because it comes off like a low-effort Twilight Zone.

This is true of pretty much any 'naive' media looked at again from a modern perspective. Stuff has been chopped and rehashed and analysed so many times in the last hundred years that nothing ever feels fresh without at least seven layers of meta-ironic decomposition. There's probably entire reams of self published erotica on amazon spun off from the most basic short story from the 1900s, just look at what Lord of the Rings caused.

Anyway, so parliament isn't sitting and nothing is happening until Saturday? Got to keep the thread ticking over until tomorrow somehow I guess.

Just don't start talking about cryptographic nonces.

To add some actual content, someone at the guardian has run the 'new' withdrawal act through a diff tool:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2019/oct/18/how-much-johnson-great-new-deal-actually-new

Graundiad posted:

As MPs prepare to vote on Boris Johnson’s EU withdrawal agreement, Guardian analysis shows that less than 5% of the original deal has been renegotiated, despite it being rejected by parliament three times.

Only 15 core pages of the original 293-page withdrawal agreement are related to the controversial protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland – commonly referred to as the Irish backstop. This is the only part of the withdrawal agreement that has been renegotiated

So yes, this really is meaningful vote number four. De Pfeffel has to be trying to get this voted down so he can declare an instant no deal.

A bit like how people watching Seinfeld for the first time in the 2010s think that it's all so unoriginal and overdone, because it invented half the stuff that got done to death subsequently. Same with the Scream movies and slasher flicks.
