I didn't see Boris' speech but looking at coverage he only made a couple of oblique references to Brexit if at all in his speech which is absolutely incredible when it happens in a few months. Also incredible that none of the press seems to be mentioning that, even the nominally remain-supporting. I think everyone just assumes that he's going to capitulate to some sort of soft Brexit at the last minute, which while not hugely unlikely seems like a big assumption to make.

Not sure that’s entirely true, even Laura K raised that there was little mention of Brexit https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1313439348768100352 But the press do seem to be head-in-the-sand about quite how much of a catastrophe we’re heading for.

Private Speech posted:You know how it goes, "better to reign in hell than serve in heaven", that's the Tory motto. Paradise Lost, not the Bible. It's remarkable how much influence that and Dante's Inferno had on our modern understanding of Christianity.

Much like kirk and spock being gay for each other, fanfiction often retroactively alters the original.

I mean, there honestly was a surprising amount of material for that one in the original show. I mean, it literally had a 'Spock goes into his mating cycle and Kirk has to calm him down with a bout of wrestling' episode.

It's the clearest example of press bias since the last clear example. The clearest of course being every media interaction Harry Cuckcole has with Boris Johnson after Boris literally cuckolded him.

How does the appointment process for the UK judicial system work? I checked out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Kingdom#Appointment_process but now I'm interested in who appoints members of the commission that appoints the Supreme Court members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Appointments_Commission says "Twelve, including the Chairman, are appointed through open competition", but it doesn't say what "open competition" means, such as who's judging that competition. Other articles like https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45632035 only mention the independent commission without going deeper. Are commission members appointed by commission members? Is there any eventual Kevin Bacon type link back to elections either at the UK or England/Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland level?

What other SNP policies currently being enacted by the Scottish Government will the Scottish Tories support? Free personal care, universal childcare, free school meals, prescriptions, national investment bank, independence from the UK and membership of the EU?

I checked out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Kingdom#Appointment_process but now I'm interested in who appoints members of the commission that appoints the Supreme Court members. I believe "open competition" means "literally anyone can apply" and might be selected presuming they meet the criteria. https://judicialappointments.digital/ However apparently the JAC does not select supreme court members according to their website: https://www.judicialappointments.gov.uk/what-jac-does The relevant piece of legislation appears to be this 2005 act: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2005/4/part/3 Sections 25, 26, and 27. Which I will read and attempt to parse into actual english for you. Section 24 appears to be "if you were on the supreme court before this legislation you still are" Section 25 appears to be "If you want to be a member of the supreme court you have to have been a high court judge for 2 years, and a qualified lawyer dude for 15" Section 26 appears to be "the PM has to write a letter if the selection committee tells them to and can't write one otherwise, you form a selection committee if there is a vacancy or soon to be a vacancy, the committee must:" quote:The commission must have an odd number of members not less than five. And then some other stuff, if you want to read it. Basically there is no permanent body that selects supreme court judges, one is formed when they need one, to meet those criteria, apparently. So a bunch of other bigwig law people get together and tell the PM to write a letter about it. E: Oh and apparently the committee can't appoint its own members to the position, lol.

forkboy84 posted:Isn't it a Labour/Liberal policy that the Nats just claimed as their own Labour/Lib Dems/SNP can all lay claim (Labours claim is the weakest imo as they introduced them 3 years earlier). Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that the SNP ended tuition fees is not entirely accurate. Up-front fees were abolished by Labour in Scotland (after Tony Blair’s government introduced them in 1998) under pressure from the Liberal Democrats and many students were exempted from the Graduate Endowment scheme the coalition put in place. The SNP can, however, accurately say it introduced free university education by scrapping the graduate endowment. https://theferret.scot/sturgeon-snp-scrapped-tuition-fees/

More anti-lock down poo poo trending on twitter. From what I can tell the right has cultivated a situation where there needs to be some kind of lockdown in order to control the disease enough for them to pretend everything is fine. At the same time the right is stirring up the fash to demand an end to any control measures at all. I guess the plan is we'll all be convinced by the persuasive gammons screaming about 5G and bill gates and then economy good.

I agree that could be a reason not to, but it's not a very strong one given the rest of the labour left made an effort to show up for it.. I'm not throwing her under a bus or anything based on one abstention it just struck me as odd that she wasn't among the familiar faces on the right side of history there.

"I have just fallen off this cliff however I am currently not falling very quickly, last time I fell off the cliff a few months ago I accelerated at a predictable rate until I pulled my parachute, the question for policymakers is will I continue to accelerate towards the ground at a predictable rate this time?"StarkingBarfish posted:I agree that could be a reason not to, but it's not a very strong one given the rest of the labour left made an effort to show up for it..

Odd sure, but from the looks of it quite a few people either weren't there or were voting by proxy (though I don't know if that's just to minimise people in the division lobbies?) so I dunno. I can't see any mention about the bill from her on twitter.
