How long does it usually take to get a postal vote confirmation through? Do you even get one? I sent off my application about a week ago and have heard nothing back.

Just the difference between 2015 and now is amazing. Back then means tested Internet vouchers and the removal of forced land line charges would have been seen as too out there.

I was part of this. The first question in the set was 'do you support Labour's proposed nationalisation of part of BT', and it was a 3-way split between 'yes', 'no' and 'don't know'. The question in the tweet was the next question - how you answer 'no' to the first one and 'yes' to the second one I'll never understand.

Surely the first question couldn't be an attempt to lead people to answer no in the second one.

The first includes the word Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn is a terrorist communist Hitler coward.

Labour is also the only party that ever actually set out a comprehensive Brexit position. Tories never had one, there was a series of contradictory red lines for a while but never actually a detailed policy. LDs just had "second referendum" for ages, but then when people said "yeah but second referendum between what options, there's no deal" they just shouted "SECOND REFERENDUM" louder. I guess revoke A50 was a comprehensive position, for the 45 seconds or so before they reverted to a quantum superposition of that and second referendum. I don't even know what the rest of them wanted.

Funny how those other parties never got called on it, huh

CON under May set down their "red lines" since triggering A50 in 2017; they could not convince the EU to agree with those - it was never realistic for them to expect it do so - and they utterly failed to appreciate the Irish problem, but they did have a detailed position

LDEM has had "second referendum of remain or whatever brexit deal is negotiated" since 2017 - it shifted to unilateral revoke this year

LAB in 2017 also had a position - it was Starmer's six tests for backing a brexit deal. Remember those? “exact same benefits as we currently have as members of the Single Market and Customs Union"? At the same time, "freedom of movement will end"? The red-lines-that-the-EU27-won't-agree-to phenomenon afflicted both of the major UK parties really

I do wonder if there'll be some fair use policy on this free internet, though. I remember a while back people bragging about the numbers they had racked up downloading every game and movie under the sun, and I sense they'd do it again. Assuming there won't be a bottomless pit of bandwidth I wonder where Labour will put the clamps, if any, because I know my friends will test this.

throttle the hell out of them & suggest they upgrade off the free tier hopefully. your mates can subsidise the rest of us

British Broadband - how it will be delivered.

quote:

John McDonnell
28 mins ·
We will deliver free full-fibre broadband to everybody, in tranches, and we'll begin with those currently experiencing the worst quality broadband. As I said in my speech today, it's coming to Lancaster, the North West and elsewhere.

It's going to be a transformation in the way decision-making takes place in this country as well. The priority will be need, so that includes rural and remote regions and inner-city suburbs.

We’ll then move into the towns, ending with those parts of large urban centres currently reasonably well served.

This is public ownership of the future. Public ownership where workers and consumers and other stakeholders work together to manage the service. And we’ll guarantee workers currently in broadband infrastructure and retail jobs employment in British Broadband.

this seems sketchy to me

proxy voting has always been intended to be used with someone you know well enough and trust. opening it up to random strangers like this is an invitation for abuse or just fuckups. if you can’t vote in person but don’t have anyone to act as a proxy you’d be far better using a postal vote, as the system is designed.
