I mean, I'm not gonna tell someone of strong enough Jewish heritage to qualify for Israeli citizenship they don't count. But fair enough that he doesn't practice.

Had an argument with a friend of a friend this weekend whose family recently found out they had extensive Jewish heritage (i.e. enough to qualify for Israeli citizenship, but not practicing or anything), re: Labour and antisemitism claims. The last loving thing to do, as well as being a sure-fire way to lose an argument and make yourself look like a massive arse, is to counter with "you're not even really Jewish". Don't do that. edit: to add to the pile of anecdata, their family is "life-long Labour" but are now campaigning/voting for LDs. In a safe Labour seat.

The Lib Dem share could fall either way, but Labour can't make up the ground if all the UKIPers get cold feet. I have no actual facts to back this up, it's just what the gnawing pit of my stomach tells me.

Barry Foster posted:Just come back from canvassing in Exeter w/goons. Good folks to go canvassing with, had a mixed reception but a lot of people out (inevitably, given it was ten in the morning) Apologies that I wasn't around then (won't be around later either!), but again, if people in Exeter are up for meeting up for a pint/politics/Labour phone banking, then give me a PM.

Tory support is clearly hard capped in the low 40s but their supporters are scared enough of Corbyn that it won't really fall. Meanwhile Labour are successfully seeing off the Piss Tory threat to split the vote.

Career advice: Never mind degrees or GCSEs, your wealth is in knowing what to do with a piece of cardboard or flexible plastic. I locked myself out. After numerous phone calls to various numbers people in shops and estate agents gave me - internet etc all locked in flat so unable to look myself, finally found local guy who lives no more than 2 miles away. He turned up after an hour and it took him under 1 minute with a piece of flexible card or plastic to get in. £65. I was relieved though, the next nearest was 4 hours away and it is cold out there. Let this be a lesson to me to leave a spare key somewhere (I kept meaning to but hadn't got round to it).
