Wightlink tried to carry on, but about midday just suspended everything and of course people are still mad at them for not sailing in the storm. For the record, the whole of Portsmouth seafront has been closed to traffic due to the weather as well, while Red Funnel didn't even bother trying to sail today

I again want to stress that the bulk of starmer's support came from the side of my CLP that was all old fat white men who look and sound exactly like tories.

God I hope the weather is less miserable tomorrow so I actually go to my CLP nomination meeting. I want to glare with my own eyes at the gobby boomer from our Facebook discussion group who keeps railing about how RLB is unelectable, the doom of the party, only extremely electable Starmer can save us, etc. He's so annoying.

OwlFancier posted:You could also argue that all the brexit voters going tory might have been a problem too... I mean, the BXP was only ever managed opposition. I'm not sure what Labour could have done to grab those voters, and there's no obvious signs in that chart of Labour defections to Leave parties. Their call for a second referendum in January, for instance, caused a dip in their polling numbers that they quickly recovered from, and nobody else's numbers moved.

A lot of the BXP vote came from labour to begin with, and it's perhaps worth considering that labour was not campaigning on a second referendum 2017 at a point where the tories were much weaker on brexit, and did much better. That is not to say a pro brexit stance would have gone better, necessarily, but I think it's wrong to suggest that a pro remain stance won labour voters because I think it ignores where a lot of the labour support went beforehand.

In 2016 we were all super hype for this jam guy who was gonna win it for us and there was some glimmer of a hopeful future on the horizon. She doesn't seem even as convincing as Corbyn and he just got savagely disembowelled. I will probably vote for her to prevent the rollback of all the momentum stuff but I don't see any path to victory for her (or the others really) e: i'd also say that kier is clearly the most "credible" candidate, which is why he's the front runner. whether thats just due to sexism or what, but he has actually been in the news doing stuff (whether that stuff hosed us or not...) whereas i'd only heard of RLB before this contest as the third most viable hypothetical corbyn successor.

Pantsmaster Bill posted:Have any of you lot used a third party site like Mobile Phone Direct to get a phone contract? Supposedly I can save like £200 over 2 years if I get a contract through them and claim the cashback every 6 months but that seems....suspicious. If you have any issues with the phone itself, you have to deal with them, who will likely try and point you to the manufacturer themselves, so you're in for a fight. If you have any issues with the service, or need to change anything, you're likely to be dealing with a partner rather than the network themselves, so you probably can't just nip into your local store for help. It can still be worth it, just be aware your options for customer service support are limited.

I've said it before but you could elect the T1000 wearing the skin of lenin and it wouldn't look good for labour right now. What's going to win it for labour in the future is the continued loving over of everyone by the tories and their complete mishandling of brexit, brexit saved the fuckers this time but they can't keep relying on it. There's four and some years between now and the next election, that's a lot of time for them to start loving up, and once she gets the leadership there's gonna be a lot of conflict to sort out internally. It's entirely possible that the wreckers will be at it again and this time I don't think the membership will be as forgiving. With the open selections thing she's shown that she's mindful of that too, so we might be looking at open civil war in labour. Which, sure, might be bad, but you'll get your purge if that happens, at least.

The Tories need to gently caress up, but they also will gently caress up. They set the whole country on fire to murder the Labour party and still they needed a do-over after two years to make it stick. And for all the guff about evil Russian internet magic it only really seems to work on lead brains, already rotten from watching TV and reading the papers. There is hope that it will work even worse the next time. I mean I absolutely get the frustration, but you over the channel are the closest to having a viable left wing party basically anywhere on the continent so dig in.

If you don't have much hope, vote instead with spite, vote to loving spit in the eye of the bastards who cost us 2017, if it weren't for the likes of nandy and starmer we might be in year 2 of a corbyn government right about now. So think about that, get real heckin mad, and vote with hate in your heart.
