massive spider posted:My cat got spooked during the stupid clap on Thursday and ran out and I cant find him so I'm especially salty about it. Sorry to hear about your cat! If you have the space for it try hanging out a dirty bedsheet in your yard/garden so it can smell you. (dirty as in you slept on it, not covered in poo poo) Facebook can also be a good way of finding lost cats. Windows open and lights on so it could hear/see you might help - they tend to be more active at night so could be worth patrolling your block with some treats at dusk? They don't tend to be more than a couple of streets away, and if there's any empty garages or similar try poking your head in (my cat once ran away but turned out to be just hiding in the neighbours garage in the house at the back of mine) Pet Island might be able to help too - good luck justcola fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Apr 5, 2020 |

Maybe try leaving food out and sit in your backdoor for a bit in the evening? I had another cat run away but he was just round at the neighbours all the time - especially if he's that young he'll just be eating what he can find rather than actively hunting. Hope it works out. Had a chat with my neighbour about Keir and she was upset he got in. I'll still vote for Labour (I think) but reckon I'll focus more on what I can do locally than follow Westminster politics as I have previously, can't help but feel the whole exercise is miserable.

The soft glows of the burnt out cars being used as baricades. The gentle pitter patter of glass bottles tinkling against RUC land rovers. That 'after water cannon' clean smell.

Hahaha, Lisa Nandy as foreign secretary. I guess there's not much focus on international politics at the moment at least. Anneliese Dodds as Chancellor is reassuring - wasn't she McDonnell's preferred option? RLB conspicuously absent, presumably to get a minor post tomorrow. Rachel Reeves in cabinet, but lurking on the sidelines. I wonder if she was first choice, but given Duchy of Lancaster so she can slide in later, once the scrutiny is lower.

the more combative ones are being shown the door https://twitter.com/PolhomeEditor/status/1246813612460724228 quote:In fact, Starmer may not even have to pick fights with the Left to prove how different he is from his predecessor. Those likely to leave the shadow cabinet such as Richard Burgon, Jon Trickett and Ian Lavery could form a rebel core on the backbenches. The speculation seems to be for a lot of fresh faces, but that would be complicated... RLB, Thornberry, and Nandy all look set to be offered roles at least. Starmer does not have Corbyn's problem of not having enough untainted talent at all, but instead of having to juggle the risks of an unknown quantity versus the acrimony sparked by picking a name already linked (however ambiguously) to a faction. On the NEC side, I have seen conflicting assessments of the factional alignment... I count it as something like 25+ for the left even assuming Starmer replaces every single one he has the power to replace with a loyalist, but I see some estimates going right the other way (Paul Waugh counts 23-14 for the center-left). I don't know, I don't see it. On LabourList I saw a count of 19-18 for the left... https://twitter.com/Conorpope/status/1246398689536610304 many unknown unknowns...

Jose posted:nandy is chair of labour friends of palestine lol She weirdly got the endorsement of JLM, despite having criticised Israel before. Unless it's all just empty words of course. Dodds as Shadow Chancellor rather than Reeves is good. Reeves having a job at all isn't, but her job doesn't actually put her in charge of much other than being party spokesperson like Gove. Ashworth has been reasonable at shadow health so happy enough not to see him move. I'd be happy to see RLB remain as business sec, too much chopping and changing of jobs isn't good for running a proper department. Obviously I'd prefer a cabinet of hardcore lefties but if he was planning a purge he could've done a lot worse. Remember Corbyn put Hilary Benn in his first cabinet when he was still trying for 'unity'.

Wish John McDonnell had stood. RLB's big problem was her lack of recognition. This isn't so much a Labour right resurgence as it is a collapse in left enthusiasm. We needed a rallying figure, and weren't given one.

I'm not sure what that guy doesn't get - the NHS put beds in but they didn't build the Excel centre, so rent makes sense in the capitalist context we all live in What the government should have done of course is requisition the building and tell the owner to go gently caress itself Also just catching up but ghosts don't exist, hth

Edit: ^^ Apparently they were never charging the NHS rent, but for a contribution towards the fixed costs of maintaining the building, if you believe the response they put out. They're now waiving that too.ronya posted:The collapse of Burgon suggests the problem runs deeper than this... He didn't remind me of a rallying figure so much as Eeyore. And pretty tone deaf to how policies like his war consultation could be easily spun by the media into making him look like a caricature commie pinko leftie.

This is the same maniac who turned up in Glasgow a couple weeks after the independence referendum, apparently to lend her support to the ridiculous "there wasn't a barcode on my ballot paper" conspiracy theory, and stated that Scottish independence was clearly just around the corner as evidenced by the "thousands of deeply patriotic Scotsmen walking about in their national dress". Scotland were playing Georgia at Hampden that day.

She's collected an award for something and that's about it. jabby posted:Dodds as Shadow Chancellor rather than Reeves is good.

If he had to offer a top job to someone from the right of the party, which he arguably did to back up his constant calls for unity, I'm glad it's that one and not one of the others.
