To be honest I get a small comfort from the fact we didn't get the first left-wing government in decades only for them to IMMEDIATLEY have to face a once in a lifetime crisis which the neo-lib shits before them had barely needed to contemplate. Edit: Dogammons

parallel universe Corbyn has a coalition government, mind you, given the numbers you can tune into Spanish politics right now for a sample of the PSOE-Podemos coalition govt fending off the right if that experience is any indication, the SNP would be similarly putting any showdown plans on hold (reading, likely correctly, that a showdown amidst a crisis would be negatively perceived) and thus being mainly preoccupied by internal dissent over this course. Farage would be playing the equivalent of Vox in fomenting anti-mask paranoia, and the Tories would be happily playing along by darkly hinting that, well, maybe they don't really endorse that kind of ugly talk but where there's smoke there's fire y'know permitting mass protests would be a much bigger political football (as it is in Spain) but it would still largely be intelligentsia fodder ronya fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Sep 26, 2020 |

Bobby Deluxe posted:https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1309775211961683969?s=19 Yang gang rising etc but Yang kind of highlighted that it isn't actually a left wing concept when he completely failed to answer the Landlord Question. A UBI is a really good idea if it's applied holistically and can't just be drained by rentiers, but if not it's only to going to fuel inequality because people that were already getting by enough to have savings will still get by but now they have yangbux too while people who were struggling will see their yangbux evaporate into the absolutely inevitable cost of living increases. And even worse it completely damns people that aren't documented; now already very vulnerable people also have this huge extra impediment that they aren't getting the yangbux while everyone else is, it's formalising the existence of a perpetually desperate underclass. UBI is a great idea but only if the basics of living are already secure, and even then it should be limited so someone can save enough yangbux for a really good honeymoon, for example, but after a certain level of savings it's Use It Or Lose it. The policy as Lib Dems would present it is 100% gonna be papering over the cracks in neoliberalism for 3 years maximum, creating an all new poor-hating culture war avenue or most likely just something they can give up on in negotiations to go into coalition with the tories again.

A bunch of the worst Labour MPs would have left Labour and formed their own party or loose coalition so that Corbyn wouldn't have a majority, I reckon.

That's nice, There would have been zero time to do that between the 2019 election and all this, not to mention the legislative priority would be the second referendum.

I remember seeing that in the thread but I'm not aware of it from elsewhere - as far as I know they're entitled to 50% of their salary for life (so that would be 70kish [chicken feed?]), but I don't know if it's dependent on lasting a certain amount of time.

If its uni owned, and they have rent contracts saying they forfeit being there if they don't keep the place clean and 'respectable in the uni's eyes', who knows how far the uni will take it. Pure assumptions here sure.

Nothing wrong with a cup of hot bovril, although they are in league with some strange powers. Can't tell if this is a pro-Vatican advert or they're setting themselves up as an antipope.
