Surely if you're Johnson you're going to look at the polls and figure it's worth calling a snap election. You can say it's a post-Brexit post-Covid thing and the general public won't care that you're actually just trying to get more power. He'll return a massive majority and probably kill Labour off for a good while.

Why bother taking the risk? You've already got a 50 seat majority, which is comfortable enough to literally ignore minor rebellions, and Starmer is so weak and ineffectual he's strangling labour to death. A sudden snap loss could revitalize some parts of labour with a OH GOD WE NEED TO FIX THIS, rather then a cooked lobster effect.

Yes but the accidental fluke of Corbyn won't happen again. The right of the party assumed the left were so weak that if the SCG lot get a candidate onto the ballot then who cares it always loses, the right of the party also hate trade unions so they disempowered them, this accidently empowered the membership and suddenly working class people and lefty people had an electoral hope.

What we know is that the Labour membership are far to the left of the Labour leadership and will support leftwing leadership, we also know that the UK public are to the left of UK governance and will support leftwing policies. The problem is that no, a Corbyn 2.0 will never organically exist again from the aether, the scum won't make that mistake again. If you want a Corbyn 2.0 then accept it will not magically happen, you need to actively make it happen.


I genuinely don't know what the gently caress this stuff is. If I was drunk I'd possibly try it on with Liz Truss? She's a conservative MP that has children but is pretty enough? It's so grimy as a thing people are talking about.

Edit: seeing that tweet was from 2011 was actual succour was unironically glad it wasn't recent and I can pretend positive progress exists.

Only that many of what became (or were referred to as) mafias were extended minor aristo families with enough collective power to flex against the state. Doesn't mean that they were good or socially beneficial, but there's a shared adversarial relationship with the state that you can also see in other extended family structures from Appalachian hierarchies to the clan system that the British state had a massive dislike of.

Sometimes the state isn't the worst player in that interaction, sometimes they are.

When I get a call from an unknown number these days, I answer it silently. If it's some sort of robo-scam, it doesn't get the verbal response it's expecting and automatically ends the call. If it's a real person, after a couple of seconds you'll hear a slightly confused: "Erm... hello?", which means it's probably safe to go ahead and talk to them.

Not sure if this was a thing or not, but my mother taught us never to say the word 'yes' at any time during a scam call, in case they edit it so that I have signed up for £500 of something every month because I said 'yes'.
My mother still does this out of sheer muscle memory habit, she would be good on 'Just a minute'.

But the rules for selecting candidates have been changed, so that there are currently enough socialist MPs to nominate a candidate without any support from the right. At present, if Starmer goes, a lefty could be elected.

Therefore Starmer will not go.

Still there.

It's a suspendable offence to query it. Two people I know were suspended for trying to bring a motion questioning it to CLP - a motion supported by many others in the CLP.
Once has since quit the party in disgust, another is hanging in there and a large proportion of those members holding exec or other officer positions throughout the CLP have resigned all their posts.

Yep, you've got no helpful consumer rights that I'm aware of at this point. Possibly something to do with unfair trading practices, but those often don't create a cause of action on behalf of the consumer, although you can still use them as leverage. CAB's probably your best bet on that point.

The "Deed of Assignment" aspect of it looks like it could be an "out" for you, possibly, maybe: a "Deed of Assignment" is a very specific thing that doesn't sound like it should be necessary here, but since they've used those words it probably is for reasons that I don't know because lol I never studied tax law it's boring wank for rich wankers. There's strict formality requirements for a deed though (in particular, it has to make it clear on the face of the document that it is a deed, which it doesn't sound like it did). I don't want to get your hopes up though, because there's a bunch of legal poo poo that can happen if formality requirements fail (particularly if it's in relation to another contract, & you definitely entered into a contract here). I'm being vague here because I'd really have to see all the documents & do a bunch of research to be any help, but if you want me to do that then I'm happy to do so for a comrade (I teach contract law & property law (which also overlaps here for a bunch of reasons) & used to work in contract litigation).

There's also potentially an unfair contract terms angle somewhere in there, but, again, would need to see the contract. I'm good friends with a professor who specialises in unfair contract terms so if anything jumps out at me I can get a good second opinion on that if you want.

Worth asking CAB from an unfair trading practices point of view, but honestly I wouldn't trust them with the legal side of things because it's complicated and they're not lawyers. It's probably not viable to instruct solicitors for these kinds of sums though.

The situation sucks and leaches like that should be horse-whipped.

There are indeed formalities to a deed, line it has to be witnessed and consciously entered into as a deed. That said, I don’t think that is enough to invalidate the entire contract - but it might be.

This is actually quite an interesting take. I'm something of a Mafia amateur historian, I'd never considered this angle before. Only thing I'd say is the Sicilian Mafia at one time very much viewed itself as a shadow state, or state within a state I guess. An informal instrument of local government. I don't know too much about Highland clans, I would assume the English chose favourites and used them to suppress other more troublesome clans though, again as an instrument of local government in a sense.
