No, Jo! You're supposed to go back on your promises after the election! Nick tried to tell you, but you didn't listen!  Your anti-squirrel rage was your downfall.

Disappointed there's no policy on Hong Kong in the manifesto? Lib Dems had it right with giving them settlement rights.

I think there are clear lines appearing now between those who are genuinely concerned about antisemitism and those who are trying to exploit the former in order to attack Corbyn: https://twitter.com/NickCohen4/status/1197479817186357254?s=20

?????? I don't think anyone has suggested his actions defeated apartheid, only that he recognised it for for the racist bullshit it was and said as much while his peers legitimised/ignored it. https://twitter.com/stephane_ulrich/status/1197491072072597504?s=19 https://twitter.com/francesweetman/status/1197443218482302976?s=19 ????? Umm, Jeremy Corbyn was part of a smaller anti-apartheid group that criticised the uncritical Stalinist-led mainstream movement and took a more nuanced view towards the ANC, and therefore is terrible is a hell of a take. Weetman coming out as an unlikely supporter of Stalin and violent armed struggle?

Camrath posted:In a previous life I was head of security at the bank the royal family uses. Had fairly regular visits from them, including Prince Andrew. I was given a very thorough briefing, including that not only was no wine to be served at lunch but that also no alcohol should be even visible to him. Make of that what you will. Weirdly enough, alcoholism can cause anhidrosis (inability to sweat), so maybe there's something in Andrew's claims that he "can't remember" and "couldn't sweat". Not that that puts anything else in a better light.

Bit disappointed by the drug policy (or lack there of) in the manifesto though. Something about medical cannabis but that's about it other than saying prisons aren't the best place to treat people with drug problems. Overwhelmingly positive but not perfect.

Harm reduction rather than criminalisation was the takeaway for me there- which reads as decrim of cannabis at the very least. I would have liked ‘full legalisation and taxation’, but ngl there are bigger issues in the country right now to throw political capital at.

I'm with you but I really wasn't expecting much on the matter, at least this time round. I think as more of the yoot start to take the reins then there'll be a relatively quick turn around on the issue.

Guavanaut posted:tbh I'm tired of the "where will the money come from" for these types of projects. Every pound spent on high quality free at point of use preschool pays back £2.10 in increased tax take from those children over the space of 40 years and saves £10.80 in reduced benefits use, criminality, or negative health outcomes, it pays for itself multiple times over. And that's excluding that all the teachers you hire will be spending money in local economies. Just issue bonds or print money or borrow on the sovereign debt market, you'll get your money back and more. It's like investing in the NHS, it's a no brainer. The idea that you need to raise a tax today or Brexit bonuses to pay for it is nonsense. Please refer back to my posts about how costs are easy to measure, benefits much harder to quantify. It's the same dumb short-sighted idiocy over and over and over again. Neoliberals are ripping out and selling for scrap the copper fittings of the welfare state because it's cash in hand now and gently caress everything else.

Lmao, just tuned in to the last couple of minutes of Politics Live and was immediately greeted with the glorious sight of Chuka with a deer in the headlights look desperately trying to explain why the Lib Dems were cool and good, actually whilst a political cartoon of Jo Swinson as a squirrel was being broadcast on the screen. Never ceases to amuse me how he just waltzed right into the LDs and immediately Jafar'd his way into becoming Swinson's No.2. He won't get the blame for it but it's quite obvious that he's got a major hand in all their brain genius manoeuvres that've been backfiring so spectacularly on them and I'm enjoying his downfall almost as much as Mike Gapes'

As the Lib Dem parachute candidate for wherever this is – and definitely not still a Tory – I am committed to implementing a version of this policy that is similar, but better. We will introduce a levy on second homes equivalent to 201% of the council tax bill for the property. This will be paired with a 100% council tax reduction for properties that are not a primary residence. I believe this is the fairest and most efficient way to achieve Real Change. ... I'm still stuck in the tree that I landed in. Can someone cut me down, please?
