However to make it interesting, if anyone else ITT beats you to it (again on Twitter, don't stalk people irl ffs) then they get to choose between a full ban on all weetakes plus a 1mo probe for you, ThomasPaine, for historical weetcrimes, or clemency plus tWeets being allowed back into the thread. It's not just a matter of speed though, we're doing this Wacky Races style, the more elaborate/amusing your phone ring holder the better. (Also don't be gross, y'all know how to fake propose over twitter with something you made out of pipe cleaners and sellotape in response to a tweet about the existence of a really bad product and still be classy and not harassy, right?)

ThomasPaine posted:Lewis is I think considerably less left wing than we think and would tack right, similar story for thornberry. What's the issue with Lewis? He's talked a very left wing game, but also was part of a very select group that nominated Corbyn, served in his first cabinet, and didn't take part in the chicken coup. His big rebellion against the leadership was on the EU Article 50 vote- not anything to do with the socialist project. You might not want him as leader because it's bad politics right now to have an unapologetic remainer in charge, but is there any reason to think he'll "Tack right"?

Gives off major, major sex pest vibes.

I mean the HoC is made up of approximately 2/3rds total sociopaths right now so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that they're willing to take full advantage of the power imbalance between them and the various assistants/staffers/volunteers they come into contact with

His big rebellion against the leadership was on the EU Article 50 vote- not anything to do with the socialist project. He was sacked as shadow defence secretary over Trident when Seumas Milne hosed with Labour's line on Trident without telling him. As an ex-TA officer he is unsurprisingly in favour of retaining Trident and if you think unilateral disarmament is important, this makes him politically suspect.

Given recent events I think the case for an independent deterrent is stronger than ever and no party is pushing for that.

Tbf those same left-wing points apply to Starmer (nominated Corbyn in 2015, served in cabinet without leaking or couping). I'm interested to see what tack he takes during the election - Starmer has had alot of centrist hopes projected on him but not much evidence to back them up so far.

The feeling I get from both Lewis and Starmer is that they're genuinely broad-church party-line types. I.e. they both nominated Corbyn because they felt that everyone deserved a voice, rather than just saying they did, but they didn't actually want him to get it - but equally, that having got it, they were happy to follow what the party clearly wanted rather than Cantue-ing the tide. What they would do as leader is therefore kind of inherently suspect, as to whether they would follow the membership, or the PLP - the former set the strategic line, but the latter set the twactical line much more, and have much mroe direct incfluence.

If nobody bothers to enter then there's no chance of persecution and we return to the status quo ante weetman.

We should move to a position whereby tweetman can only be mentioned / posted with permission of ik, and any discussion of it must be cleared by same. Anyone breaking this rule is given an avatar and name change to Francis Rossi of Status Quo, which they can't change for a month.

ThomasPaine posted:Lawson is a very strange fellow who often has very good takes but then just as regularly spirals into centrist handwringing. He's swallowed the 'electability' kool-aid hard. I'll say one thing for Starmer, out of all the centrists he seems like the only one (and the first one) to be trying to actively cater to the left membership, his campaign video centred momentum activists and young activists. If nothing else he's probably much less of an idiot and more of a serious politician than the ego maniacs like Phillips.

If nothing else he's probably much less of an idiot and more of a serious politician than the ego maniacs like Phillips. He came to talk to us when we were campaigning in Southampton. Seemed pretty OK - big fan of the manifesto, not a bad speaker. He got a bit overshadowed by Owen Jones but I don't think I mind him as a second choice / compromise candidate.
