Lol Jeremy oval office has hosed Labour's plans by abolishing non-dom status and spending the money on tax cuts instead of the NHS. Reeves is going to have to find a new money tree

I've had a couple of people say this is why Labor have no policies. Why say something when the Tories will just steal it. It's generous, but there is probably a grain of truth there. the non-dom was the only thing Labor haven't back tracked on, and woops, there it goes. It's also unbelievably petty.

That argument only works if labour have policies so similar to the Tories that they're at risk of then stealing them At which point, what's the use in being a separate party?

The thing is if the tories steal it and it's a good policy, that's good. It's only bad in a context where being in power is more important than having good policies implemented. Which I'd say is an accurate assessment of the Labour party leadership's views. But the other part is that this isn't really the Tories stealing a policy, it's taking an untapped revenue source (non-dom taxation) and applying it to tax cuts. There's nothing to stop Labour from implementing their policy by reversing the tax cuts and using the money for what they intended. They'd do that if they felt the policy was important. But they probably won't now because actually implementing policies isn't what they want, what they want is power.

Tesseraction posted:Oof the t-shirt is worse  Getting a conversation going around affirmative (or better yet enthusiastic) consent isn't the worst idea, but really that needs to start with getting young people comfortable with open communication first, which means shutting down all the people wittering about inclusive sex ed in schools. Just slamming a law in place without that and when rape conviction rates are abysmal as is will be worse than useless for all the reasons on the last page about drug laws plus more. I get the feeling that this is more 'publicity stunt' than 'good faith debate about sex and relationship education' though.

I'm going to go devils advocate on this - While this would normally be true, we're 3-9 months out from a general election, so it 100% is the oppositions job to get elected by having popular policies, then once in power implement them properly and add more to them. and your opponent who is in power stealing/subverting them is a bad thing. if we were a few months after an election, then you would be 100% right. And let's be clear, this and taxing private schools are the two good policies labor have. the Tories just stole one of them for a tax break, so if Starmer want to find money for the NHS, he will have to raise taxes - something he has repeatedly said he's against. I should also make it clear, I'd rather not have Starmer's lot in power, but it's the ever repeating argument of whether or not to take the lesser evil. And I don't want to start that one again. This is just from a objective view - The oppositions job is to defeat the government, and you can't do that if everything you do is immediately countered or copied by the ones in power.

Yeah they should be having policies that the Tories can't copy, like proposing actual concrete state investment and public service improvement. (Instead under Starmer we'll get aerated concrete state investment and public services  )Jaeluni Asjil posted:I was thinking more like Bad Eel Ananas meme ruined by an anus.

If the opposition's job 3-9 months out from the election is to get elected by having popular policies, how do they do that without having policies? But as it happens I disagree that the job of the opposition is to "get elected by having popular policies". I think that is a completely morally bankrupt attitude to democracy. The job of all political parties, government or opposition, is to have policies they think are good, not policies they think are popular. The election is the way we decide which set of policies are in aggregate, the most popular. A party can certainly try to convince voters to their side and in so doing make their policies popular, but a party whose platform is "popular policies" has no claim to being the lesser evil because they're devoid of any morality at all. And ultimately, while I do agree that ending non-dom status and taxing private schools are good policies, they are fundamentally tax raising policies if not balanced out with tax cuts. If Starmer is against raising taxes, maybe he should consider abandoning that bad policy.

NHS GP trip report: So, for the past month I've had a 'pad' of liquid on one of my knees size of my hand. An MRI abroad in 2017 mentioned an ancient crack that had arthritis crystals (?) growing in it amongst other things. It's been really painful and making exercise difficult (depending on exactly what is going on, exercise could make it a lot worse if it is bone-on-bone action). So went to the GP today. She had a look. She thinks it's soft tissue related and that accords with other things in the MRI scan report from 7 years ago. She's no longer allowed to book MRI scans, they have to be booked by a consultant. So she said I can book an xray myself at the nearest NHS xray place but she doesn't think an xray is going to show the problem she thinks it is. So she's also putting me on the waiting list for consultant (18 months - 2 years) and they can arrange me an MRI scan (another 6 month - year wait). So looks like 3 YEARS before a somewhat painful and limiting problem can be looked at properly. Or, I could spend around £400 + transport costs to go private and get it done within a week or two to fit round my commitments. This is happening all over. Quality of life stuff that would make peoples' lives that much better is going to be a toss up between waiting for the NHS misery for 3 years or 'have credit card will travel' & get it at least properly inspected within a month (which is more to do with my commitments & transport arrangements than). Having just shelled out £171 for emergency private dentistry I hadn't planned for, I guess I will now spend another say £450 on private diagnostics because hobbling around in pain for 3 years is just not on for me - I suffer from a lot of stiffness generally and must walk or swim otherwise I get terrible cramping in all my muscles. That is a whole month's pay gone in a puff of smoke.
