Considering there won't be another election until at least summer 2024 RLB has a lot of time to come into the role of opposition leader.

I just got a text from Keir Starmer saying: "Will you vote for me pls :kiddo:", so I guess lists of member's data are available to the candidates now, yes.

You can't tell me he made that expression appear on his face. I won't believe it.

It's going to be an interesting election in May

After UKIP collapsed following the vote to stay in the EU and the voters didn't return to Cameron, I think Labour has a really good chance. Especially as Corbyn just won his fourth no-confidence vote/leadership contest.

Fingers crossed.

Dont know what you're talking about mate, Ed is well on his way to a second term.

the focus on the green revolution is a good idea, in fact i'd basically ditch everything except that in future and make it the main focus of a GE strategy

otoh "aspirational socialism" is a funny and awkward phrase. sounds like socialism with libdem characteristics

It's good to keep a charge pack topped up, just generally. I have one for my long commute to make sure the phone keeps going or top up my headphones. Anker make good ones.

This is a different one, but seems windier and less rainy than last weekend's one.

My boiler died on Thursday and despite my landlord saying he'd have someone out Friday I am currently without it during the storm.

Though I do have two space heaters I had hidden away and bills are included in the rent, so running them is BASICALLY praxis. :getin:

Do they actually give them alphabetical names?

What happens if they have more than twenty six? Do they start double barreling them?

I was walking home from the station during the storm last sunday and I got to see lightning, the damage from which disrupted my trains all week.

A storm worth naming is large enough and lasts long enough that you can't really have more than twenty-six in a year - if you have lots at once, they generally merge into the same huge storm.

Weather will certainly get more intense with climate change, but keeping lots of large storms separate from each other over a small island will require some fairly exotic physics.
