Yeah, splitting England into at least North, South and London would probably do some good if you did it in a way that was more than just symbolic.
The NUTS-1 regions seem like the logical split if your end goal is a federal style affair where every region gets equal representation.

I think he knew headlines where coming so he wanted to control the narrative.

"I, sorry, the party have suspended Corbyn" instead of Jewish groups call for Corbyn to be suspended, why hasn't he been suspended yet, you said you had a zero tolerance policy in place etc. going on for days.

It also makes him look like a strong leader, but then he realised it would actually gently caress him hard if he claimed ownership. Which has now made him look weak, because he is weak.

nah it was a massive disaster from the start. the only jewish organisation that said anything were the BOD who said that it showed labour were institutionally antisemitic which obviously it didn't. The whole thing could've been filed away under lessons learned we'll be better and starmer completely hosed the point of the report and made it headlines

Are you saying that people showing up for marches caused people to essentially go "It's only soft Londoners who don't want Brexit"? Like is the animus so raw that if someone in the South does something someone in the North would choose to do the opposite out of spite?

You're saying that Brexit voters in the North have such an intense hatred of southerners that they'd vote for Brexit (which will gently caress them over) and then vote for the Tories in a General Election (who have historically hosed them over) just to spite people in London?

Intense, dude

I'm not sure "you can't think brexit is a bad idea and campaign to overturn it because it will annoy the idiot northerners" is necessarily a good defence of the north.

The North is weird because Mablethorpe (53.3409° N, 0.2611° E) is definitely in the Midlands, but Northwich (53.2587° N, 2.5181° W) is definitely in the North.

In conclusion, the Earth cannot be flat, but is an angled wedge.

I mean, it's literally true though? London afaik is pretty consistently more left wing than most of the country. The north is full of tories because it's full of old farts and farmers.

Like I'm ashamed of my home but I can't pretend it's not full of shitheads.

Everything below 54 degrees is southern.
