Linehan's descent into utter, utter madness is quite the thing. Surely even the Guardian commentariat must think this is just a straight up loving weird thing to do

[EDIT: 108 seconds is about how long it took Richarlison to score against Liverpool today, as Everton beat them at Anfield for the first time in 22 years.

EDIT 2: 108 is not the same thing as 180, as I now just realise]

Labour MPs dismayed at orders to maintain ‘radio silence’ on Brexit

quote:

Labour MPs are being asked by the party’s high command not to focus on problems caused by Brexit when asking questions in parliament, dealing with the media, or posting on social media, according to sources in the parliamentary party.

After a week in which Labour leader Keir Starmer delivered a major speech on how the country should rebuild the economy and reduce inequality without once mentioning Brexit, relations with the EU or the severe problems that have confronted many UK exporters since 1 January, senior party figures reacted with astonishment.

Last night former cabinet member and Europe minister Peter Hain said Brexit had become the “elephant in the room” for Labour.

Hain told the Observer: “It’s quite understandable that Brexit has not been top of Labour’s agenda, but it’s not sustainable to ignore this elephant in the room hurting British businesses, our vital performing arts sector, our security and our foreign policy reach. The Tories delivered a last-minute mess of a Brexit with damaging consequences, not least to stability on the island of Ireland.”

One senior backbencher said the message from the top was very clear – that there should be virtual “radio silence” on the issue. “The order that is coming out is: ‘don’t mention the war’. We are being told that Keir wants to move on and that if we mention the B-word let alone suggest we a need better deal with the EU than Boris Johnson’s we are being unhelpful.”

quote:

Since 1 January Starmer has not raised Brexit or problems caused by it once at PMQs, and interventions on the issue from backbenchers have been rare. None of the shadow cabinet or frontbench team have made a speech in parliament on the issues affecting UK businesses.

he's so poo poo :ughh:

They'll probably kick off on the same day in order to save the economy. Two extra bank holidays would be the final nail in the coffin.

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!
Just found out two of our local CLP officers have been suspended (I don't know what for as I'm no longer a member) and one of the officers has resigned from the exec in protest (not quite from the party yet).

Both the two who have been suspended are VERY hardworking, have really put themselves out for the party in the past few years.

Absolute disgrace.

(There may be other suspensions but if so the gossip tree hasn't got round to me yet).

Greece and monarchy have a pretty checkered history but I've not heard that he's banned - however protocol probably means that he wouldn't actually want to visit there other than as King (I've no idea where he actually sits in the succession but I bet he does).

France is famously a republic, but there's at least three lines of succession.

It's like with weeds, you can never quite fully stamp them out, unless you start a whole new country and even then there's a risk.

I think we should reaminate the corpse of Oliver Cromwell and set him off to do some cervical disarticulation.

After we found exactly where his head is.

Yeah and so does he, which was the point I was making. I don't know if he actually retains a claim to the lineage, but I imagine it causes all sorts of diplomatic fun and games if a bloke claiming to be the King turns up for a visit (particularly with his missus, the head of state of a nuclear-armed state).

Wiki sez they bought the royals back in 1935 before finally getting rid of them in 1973. It also says he gave up all Greek (and Danish) titles when he married Brenda, presumably to avoid any Hanover-style fun and games with the monarchies in those countries.

They like to take their time over coronations, legally Charlie becomes king the moment his mum pops her clogs and has all the constitutional powers immediately, the coronation is just an incredibly expensive Under New Management sign going up in the window. It was almost 18 months between the death of George VI and the coronation of Elizabeth II (at least some of which was spent coming up with a way of explaining to the Scots that they weren't going to bother with calling her Elizabeth I of Scotland, the compromise of taking the highest reginal number from whichever of the crowns the monarch was wearing allegedly being Churchill's idea).

I cant honestly tell you the reason he was banned, but a Greek bloke once told me it was written into the constitution or some thing

He also told me about the loving awful things the UK armed forces got up to in Athens before the war ended- spitfires strafing communist resistance fighters.

The UK caused the civil war in Greece.
