We build up the left within the party, elect a left-wing leader and then win an election. We almost did that in between 2015-2017. It was difficult, and will be in future, but we proved it was totally possible.

It'd be good to have a snappy counterargument ready for when people come out with "rrrrmember 2019 vote left wing and get boris". Otherwise it's going to become folklore, like Broon ate all the poonds/cap in hand to the IMF/petrol rationing and other pernicious arguments why good things can never happen. Any ideas?

Also Boris Todbringer which would also be apt albeit not in the initially intended meaning.

Wait, they're reinstating table service only at pubs and restaurants? When did they lift that restriction? What a loving mess

Just absolutely at the idea that the thread is a hotbed of violent sedition that is only kept under wraps by a consideration for appropriate OPSEC.

Pearson was listed in Spiked in 2007[13] as one of many journalists who had been duped by the anti-MMR campaign. This anti-MMR campaign has contributed to the significant rise in measles cases and complications including death that arise from the disease[14] in the UK and elsewhere.

In May 2007, when Madeleine McCann went missing, Pearson said "This kind of thing doesn't usually happen to people like us."[15]

In May 2008, Pearson upset Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, by suggesting her daughter Princess Beatrice was overweight. On the TV programme, This Morning, the Duchess criticised the absent columnist. Pearson denied claims that she had failed to respond to multiple phone calls from the Duchess.[16]

Pearson was criticised for a tweet sent less than an hour after the first of the 22 March 2016 Belgian bombings. In the tweet, she linked the bombings with the pro-Leave side of Brexit — the side that she herself supported on the matter.[17][18][19]

Following the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing at the end of a concert, Pearson called for the introduction of internment.[20]

In September 2019, Pearson falsely accused a man with a seriously ill child of wearing a microphone when confronting prime minister Boris Johnson, due to the man's allegiance for the Labour Party. Despite being presented with evidence that this was untrue, Pearson did not issue an apology and defended her accusation.[21]

In September 2019 Pearson suggested that Angela Rayner was unsuitable to be Shadow Education Secretary because Rayner didn't get a GCSE grade above D upon leaving school in 1996.[22]

In December 2019, Pearson falsely claimed that a photo of a child lying on the floor of a hospital was staged[23] and that she had been given “detailed explanation” that the photo was staged. She also said that the photo was “100% faked”.[24]. The trust that runs Leeds General Infirmary issued a statement which apologised to the family that only chairs were available in the treatment room the boy was in and no beds. The hospital’s chief medical officer also apologised. In the same month, after the 2019 United Kingdom general election result, Pearson wrote on Twitter in relation to antisemitism in the United Kingdom, 'So now all the Jews are staying who do we nominate to leave?'[25] In January 2020 Pearson described Labour leadership hopeful Rebecca Long-Bailey as an Alien.[26]

Guidance before, now it's actual rules.

And hospitality is a funny one - I'll look for the source but Public Health England put transmissions from hospitality (pubs/bars/restaurant) at under 5% of cases, compared with 40% from care homes, 15% from workplaces and 26% from educational settings. I just don't get the "close an hour early" mentality, especially when the majority of workers there are on hourly pay.

I think the new pub open hours are bizarre. They can't open until 1700? All that does is prevent bar staff earning a living, I can get it if they want to prevent all day drinking but just do that at the weekends.

So we've spent 6 months trying and failing to build a working app (and bunging money to Tory donors etc), meanwhile Singapore is handing out free Bluetooth tokens to anybody who can't or doesn't want to use the app.

You don't even have to pair it to anything - if the light is green you're fine, if the light turns red you need to self isolate, and because it's hanging from you externally instead of in your pocket the distance calculations are more predictable.

Labour doesn't give the slightest poo poo about your vote and if you're left-wing they would be happier if you were dead, speculating about 'oh if we don't play ball they'll learn to respect us' no they loving won't they won't ever respect you, the entire utitlity of the Labour Party to the left is the True Ending requires us to take it over and use it.

You could very well make the argument that voting for Labour anyway when they've just moved right or started finding the compromise between racist murder and not racist murder rewards that behavior.
