The only chance Labour had in 2019 is if they found a way to make the election mostly about domestic issues and not about Brexit (as they managed in 2017). No idea how they could have done that, but having Brexit as the main issue of the campaign was just death regardless of which stance they took.

It evidently didn't work, and still fell short into some bad tropes, but lol that it's the one that didn't do that that's getting excused for tangential reasons. e: ^^ The specific Freedom for Humanity mural was in Tower Hamlets in London in late 2012 (the most Lib Dem year), but there's been other versions that are various different degrees of problematic.

Remember that Labour lost over 2 million to the Lib Dems and Greens in 2019. Sticking with the (increasing unpopular) soft brexit plan might have meant keeping some of those north and Midlands seats but would have meant losing Putney, Plymouth, Canterbury etc. It's highly unlikely Labour would have come out ahead in that transaction especially as the majority of the membership would be demoralised by that plan.

She could write for The Spectator. Whining about cancel culture while trying to get universities to fire people for daring to mildly critique Israeli policies towards Palestinians. If she fell into a puddle you'd not want to help her up just in case she drowns.

In shocking news, this guy  has just confirmed that the Monster Munch shape is canonically a claw, not a monster. I’m personally saddened by this news, being part of team monster, but there we have it. Another UKMT legend put to rest. He promises to come back next Wednesday to tell us about mini cheddars.

Aw, I was having a lovely dream about yelling at Starmer when my alarm woke me up. I said the word gently caress in the rant and he looked so angry, but then went back into a meeting as they were planning to make David Milliband the new leader. Reading twitter before bed.

Looking at it divorced from the actual consequences, what Boris did in 2019 was very impressive. Set the agenda clearly, genuinely purged his party of doubters, and told the Tory base to either fall in line or gently caress off. He basically solved Brexit in the sense of it being a Tory party issue. It's hard to envisage any similar thing having been possible for Labour, and definitely not with Corbyn being terrified of purging anyone.

It probably helps that the people he purged have seemingly no interest in contesting it, and also other things to do with themselves afterwards. Whereas if you did that with the labour lot they would all get permanent positions in the guardian until the end of days.

This is by way of information for anyone else as confused as I was! And apologies if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs and everyone else ITT knew already: I had to google 'sov cit'. I read it as 'soviet citizen' and I was thinking 'soviet union' hasn't existed for some years. Tt means "sovereign citizen". Here's a BBC article about it (seems as good as any to get an introduction to the idea). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53654318

Sadly this terminal case of brainworms is likely to end with a judge issuing a warrant for her arrest and her life getting all hosed up. Ah well.
