Another 981 deaths and 50,000 cases today, Jesus Christ. I'm sure primary schools going back on Monday will all be fine.

A hefty chunk of today's figure is data from previous day's that has only just been compiled. It's still poo poo mind, just not almost 1k poo poo. That comes next week.

On the brexit vote, my MP held a zoom call and FB live event yesterday. Opinion of constituency was pretty much 100% abstain or vote against, so of course he votes for the deal as to do otherwise would be voting for no deal, the most bullshit weaselly excuse. The shadow minister for fisheries and he votes for a deal that he admits will gently caress our fishermen. I guess those sweet, sweet shadow minister bucks are just too good.

I think I posted a while back that Starmer might well end up going before Johnson does and I backed away from that for a few months but his absolutely garbage 'I offer no one anything but betrayal' style of leadership has to mean he'll be gone as soon as anyone seriously puts together a challenge. The SCG are either past it or a bunch of worthless melts at this point which is a real shame but there will be quite a lot of the right of Labour thinking all they need is to organise a campaign in the summer and they'll get him out.

More that said friend convinced himself that any capitulation whatsoever to brexit is a betrayal, or more accurately Remainiacs podcast did.

That when all is said and done: I wore my feet to a bloody blistered mess campaigning for a slate that included a second referendum, and his net contribution to the whole affair was to put a stronger together poster in his window, buy a remain mug, argue against the man who offered him everything he says he wanted, then join the party to vote for the man who waves it all through in the end... is all the it's not blood it's victory wine I need.

McDonnell won't do it, he's old and far too tied to the Corbyn years to be a success in a wider context.

I heard he made a sexist comment to a woman and then it turns out he made a dumb joke to a man while there was a woman in the room or something, so I don't know, because the press will give a fairer hearing to a Tory MP who sexually assaults people than a Labour progressive who exists. I hope he isn't, but if he is he is.

Hardcore remainer I suspect won't be an issue soon unless he's going to run on some suicidal Rejoin basis.

As in I heard he was a creep and have not heard anything to suggest that assessment was incorrect. Ergo he is still supposed to be one, if I had contrary information that supposition would be rescinded.

Yeah it was like "On your knees, bitch" or something, to a man. The man he said it to said "it was clearly jovial". Obviously it would have been better if he wouldn't have said it, but he did apologise and say that he realised it was inappropriate after, but because Clive is on the left, Jess Phillips made a big thing of it.

There may be other things I don't know about.

also an accusation of sexual harrassment resulting from the same conference, where "the NEC�s sexual harassment panel has ruled that on the balance of the evidence the matter should not be referred to a full hearing of the national constitutional committee". during the leadership election, there were also some women on Twitter in his constituency, from what i remember, saying that he made odd comments to them at CLP meetings or made them feel uncomfortable at the gym by staring at them (can't find the tweets now)

then there was this whole thing from this interview, which ruffled a few feathers

quote:

In terms of the allegations that happened at the party conference in 2017, they were dismissed, the case was dropped by the party. When people understand the facts � which is that during a selfie I put my arm around her and my hand slapped her thigh. She claims I squeezed her bum, but I can�t remember that. It�s entirely possible that I did hug her in for the selfie, and it could be seen as a squeeze, that�s something that I have to accept.

I�ve spent 40 plus years as Clive Lewis, and one of the things you have to come to terms with is you are no longer just Clive Lewis � you are Clive Lewis MP. It does come with responsibilities, and so someone asking to be in a picture with you, and you putting your arm around them and hugging them in, [I have to remember that I�m doing it as] Clive Lewis MP, in the public eye. So there is a power dynamic, which means that you just can�t do that. So I have had to change how I engage with people � women especially. It�s a really sad thing to say, but it is a sign of our times. I also have to think about that when I�m alone with female activists. You never want to be in a situation where someone can make a claim when it�s their word against yours. Those are the things you have to think about now: you shouldn�t have to, and I never did before, but I think since the #MeToo movement, there�s a more heightened sense about those power relationships.

none of this being conclusive proof, of course

The Sherlock sketch is very good. I don't like 'are we the baddies' anymore - it's mostly just used by centrists and TERFs these days.

Yeah it does seem like he had some issues, but if he gets what they are and is willing to put good faith effort into change and not Keir Starmer 20 minutes unconscious bias training (that has been proven doesn't work) effort into change, I'd still take him as leader over any of the right. It would be good to have a woman as Labour leader though, but I wouldn't pick Jess Phillips or some other terfy type over someone like him.

New tier 4 regs (England).

Friends who do eg mobile hairdressing and other beauty stuff have been sent guidance from National Hair & Beauty Federation about the new tier 4.

Apparently this means, if you run one of these mobile services and are in Tier 4, you can travel to Tiers 1-3 to work but you can't work in Tier 4. Doesn't seem to make much sense!
