There's a lot to question about that picture but I'm fascinated by the arm holding on to the cameraman.

Is it to stop him getting too close?

Looks like the Labour right didn't get the results they wanted.

By the sounds of it the people they deem ineligible are people who resigned when Corbyn was suspended. So, yes

I mean besides it just being business as usual but they've told the press the bad man is gone so they'll treat it like year zero, I'd say they've swung the culture so hard right that now they're planning on accusing anyone who disagrees with them as "Stoking a culture war" which will now be a bad thing and dreadfully uncouth.

They should have phrased it as "SIR Keir Starmer selected Ode To Joy - the music adopted as an anthem by the short lived and unrecognised white supremacist state Rhodesia - when he took part in a Desert Island Discs-style event on Thursday evening" but that would risk making him much cooler in the eyes of a certain kind of Brit, a bit like when the Republicans targeted all of Biden's pro-segregation quotes to Atlanta but due to their internet infrastructure it reached all of Georgia and he got the highest percentage of the white vote for a Dem since 1972.

You might start thinking there's something to this master-manipulator thing, when you see that all it takes is Cummings suggesting he'll leave immediately before the Brexit deadline to have the centrists out in force demanding he remain in position.

Honestly kind of with them on this. It's obviously good that the twat is going, but squatting in there for years to derail any potential Brexit preparations then loving off right before the debacle actually plays out is still infuriating.

This article has legit made me reassess the Trevor Bastard stuff and respect it a hell of a lot more. I didn't realise it was so coherent and involved; I'd just seen the Simon Hedges and Dr Robert Zands stuff and never found the "trick centrist Twitter by saying sorta centrist things ironically" schtick all that interesting or funny.

Peston really is the master at taking gently caress-ups and spinning them in the most positive pro-government light possible.

If Johnson was ever going to "let Cummings go" willingly it would've been after Barnard Castle. Pretty sure he's not doing so now.

The image of fine-diner David Cameron regularly tucking into pasties was always going to be a bit hard to swallow.

And last night it appeared his bid to be seen as just your average guy in the street should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

It turns out that the store where he said he bought his last crusty snack shut down FIVE YEARS ago.

The PM’s latest gaffe came as he defended the recent 20p Budget tax hike on hot food such as pasties, pies and sausage rolls.

Labour party membership chat:

IIRC if you were in arrears at the time the ballots went out you wouldn't have received a ballot? Therefore at the time you cast your vote, if you HAD received a ballot you would have been a fully-paid-up member and entitled to vote?

Am I wrong?

(When I quit, I hung on long enough to make sure my vote in the Leadership went through before cancelling DD and emailing them to say I cancelled membership.)

If you emailed them they would've nullified your vote straight away most likely, or at least that's what I heard they were doing. You should've just cancelled your DD and said nothing.

Edit: I don't know if people in arrears would've received a vote. They have a distinction between "part arrears" and "arrears" and I have no idea what that is.
