Maybe I’m just getting older but perhaps knowing that Keith and his Briefcase gang are just going to run damage control while the Tories regroup is better than whatever that feeling was in 1997 that Blair actually had some genuine intent to reform how this decrepit archaic shithole was managed

The idea that New New Labour are going to be interested in and capable of 'damage control' seems a bit optimistic in and of itself, TBH.

If it is Crispin Blunt, how much of a coincidence is it that he was saying this last week:

Sky News posted:

A Tory MP has accused both Israel and Hamas of having "committed war crimes" as part of the current conflict.

Crispin Blunt, who is also a paid director of the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, made the claim in parliament as MPs were updated on the hospital blast in Gaza last night, which is reported to have killed hundreds of people.

My tinfoil take is that things are about to get increasingly hosed up so the establishment decides it’s time to let Keith and his gang in to soak up the pain. Let them have 5-10 years of explaining to everyone why everything is totally hosed.

Being a Tory MP in power is for the good times when you can fill your boots. Not raking over the coals for the tiniest nuggets

It's not the question, it's the order. By making everyone aware of his views before asking the voting intention question you make people who may have been totally unaware of those views or didn't have them front of mind focus on them, that sways the later voting intention question.
Lol, maybe strictly correct from a technical polling perspective but “they made people aware of his views before asking their opinion of him” is not a great defence.

Anyway it’s only an online poll so it has barely any relation to reality in the first place.

Yeah, I'm wary of that account too after their recent post about Labour losing the Muslim vote went viral & was quickly debunked, but the news of the resignations was confirmed elsewhere and it was a lazy share that appeared on my feed.

This is also another lazy but hilarious share.

At least we can get our disappointment out of the way early rather than having it pile up slowly over the next parliament.

And then anything actually good that happens (stop laughing!) is a bonus.

Yeah, this thread would be unreadable for years after a Labour victory if for every pathetic u-turn and nasty bit of spiteful politics the thread was going: "Well actually now was not the time to have that fight/ building credibility so they can make progressive changes later/ it's not something to squander political capital on/ surely this is part of some longer term strategy/ hearts are in the right place" etc etc etc etc.

I have no idea why this works, but I opened the video I wanted to watch, turned off uBlock Origin, refreshed the page, turned on uBlock Origin, refreshed again & am now watching videos without ads again as the Lord intended. I will never ever close this window now.

Check out the YouTube adblocking thread.

Firefox with uBlock Origin on PC and Safari with Vinegar on macOS / iOS has been working fine for me. Anecdotally it seems like people running Chrome are getting hit with warnings more often.
