Labour is going to come out with a lot of bad policy until (if) the left gets back in power, that's the ground to criticise and fight within the party or quit. Corbyns suspension is a continuation of the attack on the left section of the party and so it does need a proper direct response because the arguments over policy will never be won if key members can just be kicked out for saying things the rightwing doesn't want them to say. That's the difference and that's why using it as a uniting point is extremely important for the stay and fight lot to do. Hell if they get better than expected NEC elections AND get the leadership to back down over Corbyn then they have a legitimate argument about the ability the left still has in changing the direction of the party.

Nothingtoseehere posted:I see Ann black is the only one to make it on without a slate - not surprising given she has her own mailing list (she does minutes of NEC meetings and sends them to her mailing list. Unsurprisingly, having a group of people getting emails about the NEC from you makes it easier for you to get elected to the NEC!) Ann Black seems to be good people to me, though I never had enoguh chance to chat to her to gauge her politics, I think she's been around in the party since well before Blair.

https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1327335283822620672 Looks like a slight improvement for the left on the NEC, although we'll never have a majority without taking back the party leadership. The new chair of Young Labour is definitely a win too.

Yeah, if nothing else, we can take comfort in the fact that Young Labour is now officially a hotbed of gay socialist child indoctrination.

Jose posted:lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I find the Carrie influence interesting. When I read Laura K's tweet my gut reaction was the same as any normal person - wtf does Carrie have any influence. However, reading PopBitch, gave an alternative POV which is Carrie was representing the usually ignored women of Westminster who thought that Cain was a total letch. Which is interesting that Boris might care about that sort of thing.

I can buy that he fired them because his wife told him to, but the whole "told them to get out and never return" stuff smacks of his allies trying to make him sound as manly and decisive as possible when in reality he probably did it by email.

jabby posted:https://twitter.com/janinegibson/status/1327346396920504320 Yeah remember this isn't a script, it's real life - so from the claim itself there were three people there, two of which would not disclose that they were underhanded liars and got caught and a third who would absolutely make some poo poo up to seem forceful and dramatic. Maybe there was a secretary to record the events but they're somewhat unlikely to be an aide to the PM and also a huge leak. This is PR being reported as fact.
