That's ok. He swapped them for 10 pledges to the BoD. (sarcasm)

I dont know how much checking they do when kids are first registered but this seems like something that schools should not have to be dealing with.

if current electoral conditions are kept they'll be fighting for more or less every seat having thrown away their primary weapons for defending them. this week my former local MP wrote me a plea from his personal account (with Sent from an IPad and everything) begging me to stay when i stopped payment uh, how long ago was october 30th?

wes streeting is, for our american friends, one of the worst and most right wing shitheads to ever occupy labour. one of the most vehement pursuers of the labour antisemitism "crisis" and a steadfast ally of israel also, incidentally, this week stepped back from his duties due to being diagnosed with cancer.

it doesn't matter how loyal you were, nor how passionately you pursued factional goals aligned with israel's interest, nor how sympathetic your story is to the general public, an ounce of Palestinian solidarity - even the performative nonsense that streeting is trying to pull here - is enough to be declared an antisemite.

Somewhere between 'these middle management losers would never be allowed to advance inside the Tory Party' and 'having a captured socialist party which does not challenge the status quo in any meaningful sense is far more important than just having one really big right wing party'

they're not really, labour genuinely is more accessible to anyone who couldn't afford tens of thousands of pounds of private education followed by a stint at oxford or whatever. honestly it's kind of net been a detriment to the party - ambitious shithead managers who are locked out of tory positions because their dad eg was a bus driver instead turned their ambition to labour as dragging the party right is much easier than changing a tory's mind.

Yeah they're both operating corporate politics greasy pole style ladder climbing systems but you'd be mad to say that the Tories reward ability more than Labour. Aren't three of the last four leaders of the Tories in the same Bullingdon Club photo?

Have you never seen the Tory power stance?

Alternate response: Actually they're successful politicians because they're doing something wrong almost everywhere.
