Has anybody but me ever noticed that multipack crisps seem lower quality than those you get in individual bags? Like they're cut thinner or something. Is this my im,agination, or is there a Big Crisp conspiracy where they're passing off inferior crisps as the real thing in the multipacks. Answers on a postcard.

to be fair

since 2017 the labour/tory crossover age has been rising by a year every 3-4 months and is now into the 50s, so it's much worse than that appears

but also the most likely outcome is that we will raise the scarlet standard high, so it's much better than it appears

They're usually older. And the individual bags have way fewer crisps in them.

Pretty significant news as there were only 259 votes in it last time around. This will likely guarantee Labour at least 2 seats in Scotland alongside Edinburgh South which is ultra safe.

I've been stanning the thread position that our next leader is RLB but nobody knows who she is, which seems bizarre

everyone seems to expect Rayner and I can see it more and more. Her handlers wouldn't let her go for a pint with her old union mentor (and me) but at least she got us backstage over the protests of the Alistair Campbell / Todd Chavez lovechild running the show

I honestly don't think they're going to have a choice but to do an all female shortlist. Far too much smug tory "We've had TWO female leaders" idpol nonsense going around for them not to.

My vote would be RLB regardless though.

A lot will just vote the way their parents do. (Certainly in 1979 - the first election I could vote in - almost all of my fellow uni students voted tory 'because my parents do'. Yeah I know, 40 years ago but still... )

I do see a lot of 'if only Keir Starmer then I would vote labour' comments online. While I'm not particularly into personality politics he just has almost no go about him at all and I feel he would have been eaten alive if he had come under the same sort of scrutiny as Corbyn.

Olds chat: the last time I talked to my 90 year-old, Tory gran, she told me that she’d seen stuff on the news about how there’re ‘too many old people’ hanging on and restricting young people’s opportunities, but “they say that, you don’t see them coming around offering pills or whatever to end it all for those of us who’d want it”.

Wonder how big the nihilistic pensioner voting bloc is nationwide.

Yeah with only the lib dems really comfortable chasing the right wing vote and it being a topic debate Corbyn should present well in the debate and hopefully get some good soundbites for afterwards.

Anti-Semitism.

No mention of it on the national newspaper websites that I can see, but don't worry, there's a prominent article up right now on the guardian about a Scottish Labour party member being suspended for anti-Semitic Facebook posts so that's all okay and you can read all about that instead.
