Tbf they where excluded before the recent polls showing the leap in their vote share where published both by RTE and Virgin Media (who are also holding a debate) who based it on the same shaky "only candidates who can be prime minister" logic used in the UK based on the results of the last election -Leo of all people has already said he would like them to take part.

When Leo, the walking talking liberal personified, is on your side I don't know if you can keep shouting liberal media lies tbh

I can't find the post Jaeluni made but it was interesting to note that Emily Thornberry was decent, second behind Long Bailey. I do like her as a personality bit not in a leadership position I think.

Jess Phillips was so electable so she had to withdraw from an election because it was so blindingly obvious she wouldn't win. Amazing that anyone could think she is the answer to anything at all, even the most broke brained centrist.

She withdrew because her winning 99.9% of the vote would make it look rigged and also to give the other candidates a chance.

Currently Starmer is the favourite and RLB needs to campaign accordingly. She's not got the out of nowhere radical angle like Corbyn did and is fighting against disorientation of the left vote following the election defeat.

It hurts them so much, it sustains me.

I had a centrist say that if the tories nationalise the railways and increase spending on the NHS and local councils then it'll be hard for labour to win the next election.

They didn't like it when I wasn't upset about the prospect of labour policies being enacted.

Eh, either the left have actually secured themselves in the organisational structure and ideologically in the membership to mean RLB will win and the de-Blairiting can continue or despite best efforts the parliamentary route has been shown to be non-viable for the next few years and the radical left needs to move its strategies away from centering on the Labour Party which we mostly have for the last 3 years.

Do any goons have any hot recommendations for mobile phones? Specifically Android phones under £300 & that won't break if they fall on the ground. My Sony Xperia has spent the entire evening resetting itself, it was already long in the tooth (I reckon I got it in either January 2014 or 2015) and slow as poo poo and fortunately I have money in my budget to afford a replacement because I've been thinking about getting a new one for a while and just kind of dreaded the process because any time I walk into a phone shop I instantly get The Fear brought on by the utterly overwhelming choice. Choice is bad. Just give me 1 good phone at my price point & that'll do.

On the off-chance UKMT has a regular who keeps up with these things & saves me from having to bother my arse doing any research.

This is one of the things that's so utterly maddening about Jessflaps. When you look at what she's voted for, what she's talked about, what her views are, and what she claims to represent... you can't actually find much wrong with it. She's banging on about what a socialist she is, she seems to be correct on trans rights, she has, I understand, been good on some feminist issues...

But when you actually get down to it her actions, the way she tries to promote herself above all else, it's just loving terrible.

If she's such a socialist, why didn't she get behind Corbyn?

I got a HTC for £250 plus a decent case for a tenner, does that qualify?

e: U12+ with a coupon from ebay, but you can find models around £250-300 easy enough.
