Said I'm a leave voter who supports Labour's position in the rpelies to Corbyn's tweet and some guy said I was an idiot because the EU is going to collapse and cost us £500bn when it does.

I asked how that's supposed to work.

"The ECJ"

Ask how the EU collapsing causes the ECJ to cost us £500bn...

Supermarket managers often absolutely hate their fire doors because you're not allowed to restrict access to them from the inside, so shoplifters like using them to leave. Sets the fire alarm off and everyone mills about wondering what's happening.

If capitalism had its way you'd all loving burn to death to protect the bottles of jack.

Also if the EU collapses the ECJ pretty much has zero force behind its judgements so I dunno.

That’s absolutely the angle we’re pushing for when it comes to campaigning stuff.

We’re actually going to be recording an episode specifically about the how to’s of campaigning and what you as an individual can do. One thing we’re super keen on is people with experience coming on the pod to talk about things like persuasion strategy and stuff like that for beginners to get out and get involved.

Obviously we’re looking to record that one ASAP, so please campaigny people, come join us even if it is just the one episode you come on for :)

Free Ebook: writers on the radical new economic agenda for the left

Neoliberalism is dying, but its replacement is not yet born. The direction of politics over the coming years is not certain, and the left will have to win not only the political fight, but also the battle of ideas.

In this special Verso Report, developed in conjunction with Autonomy, some of the most important left-wing economists and policy makers at work today outline the new economic ideas that will shape the direction of the left in the years to come. From Labour’s “ownership agenda”, moving beyond neoliberalism’s fixation on private ownership towards collective ownership of society’s productive assets, and the position of unions in society, to plans to reduce the time we all spend at work, and new ecological imperatives for the entire economy, The New Economy Starter Pack is a vital resource for those who want a wide-ranging introduction to the new and transformative economic agenda of the left.

Contributors include: James Meadway, Kyle Lewis, Alice Martin, Mathew Lawrence, Cat Hobbs, Will Stronge, Dave Ward, Luke Hildyard, Howard Reed, Laurie Laybourn-Langton, Julian Siravo, and Grace Blakeley.

Everyone else has hosed off pretty much all the key players from their previous election campaigns and are working with a bunch of idiots who've never run a GE before.

Labour have a decent formula from 2017, just need to do it again and bigger and with re-worked targets to reflect how surprisingly effective it was last time out.

If you only have one solid policy at most, which is Remain (or Leave), how much can you say, exactly? There's a limit to how many times you can repeat a single talking point
