justcola posted:Glad he's having more of an opposition against his MPs than the Tories. For a moment I thought all hope at a socialist government has been lost in case it threatens the wellbeing of the economy and someone from the Food Standards Agency drops a piano on him, but hell yes Keir is tuss enough. If the south is doing better because there's more people with 'work from home' jobs then if those people continue to bunker up not much will change. If it's because, as some scientists think, the north had higher cases when lockdown ended and was never able to recover properly, then yeah it's just a matter of time.

jabby posted:Corbyn's aversion to conflict was really the character flaw that doomed the project. The Left can't do "kinder, gentler politics" and it shouldn't try. Yeah, you can't do 'kinder, gentler politics' unless both sides are doing it. You just get monstered. It's like constantly cooperating in a game of prisoners dilemma, when you know the other person is always going to defect.

there's been insider remarks that Corbyn viewed himself in a Wilsonian mode of toleration of the party right-wing; that is usually celebrated as a success for preventing an SDP emerging a decade earlier than it eventually would (compare, e.g., the PvdA finding itself flanked by its rebels DS70 in, er, 1970) in the very familiar mode of UKpol always re-fighting the last war there is no chance Corbyn would have defied that wisdom, not when the gaping maw of Brexit was opening under his feet and shaking his own grip on his youth insurgency a subsequent leader from the left-wing would probably set out to move aggressively; whether such a gambit would work would probably hinge on other factors

to assess whether a commentator is really outraged about abstain+vote to amend as a strategy, check and see whether they were equally outraged when Corbyn tried it over the immigration bill last year noting that both Harman (over the austerity bill) and Starmer (over this current bill) can both plead that they are having to oppose something in the Government election manifesto and have 0% chance of making headway, whereas Corbyn did not and whipped to abstain anyway ronya fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Oct 16, 2020 |

radmonger posted:That’s the charitable interpretation of the much mocked and misused phrase ‘political capital’. There are tricks you can pull that you really can only pull once every few years at most. Like those penalties where the taker just calmly nails it along the floor in the middle, relying on the goalie to dive out of the way. Once you have done that, you can’t do it again for a while. quote:I mean, the clear implications of the code name ‘007’ is that Bond was an elite and special agent. Not the guy in charge of checking the local branch of Greggs was keeping its pasties warm. cold takeaway food is VAT zero rated. hot takeaway food is VAT standard rated. but food which is freshly out the oven and only incidentally hot while it hasn't had time to cool down yet behind the counter sneeze guard is considered legally the same as cold food so zero rated. Osbourne tried to simplify that so that Greggs and similar operating just-in-time delivery from oven to customer would pay standard rate too, and now he's not an MP anymore.
