el dingo posted:I'm also a bit unsure of my status at the moment - I'm a non-EU family member of an EU citizen with a residence permit that's good until 2022. Anyone know if I actually have to do anything here or am I all good since I got the card in 2017. Also unsure if my partner has to do anything - she's Irish so that would remove the need for her to register, but I'm here on her EU status and blaaaaah this is complicated. For info, she's Irish and I'm a kiwi. Depending on the exact details you should be fine until 2022 as Irish is not treated the same as other EU Nationalities thanks to the Common travel area. If you are on the 5 year visa expiring in 2022 you should be able to apply for ILR at the end of it. However nobody really loving knows because this whole thing is a poorly managed shitshow.

I'm pretty sure that the chances of the houthis conquering KSA are about the same as Lebanon conquering Israel. They might want to but it's not like they have the capability, not to mention the probable US intervention in such a conflict.

I really hope that this argument: quote:No explanation of Brexit – and hence of the worst political crisis in living memory – can escape the truth that it was born, nurtured and released into society from the Conservative backbenches. enters the discourse once the impending election comes around. People loving hate Brexit, and it's 100% the fault of the Tories - they started it, they were presiding over its deal negotiations, and they were the ones who completely poo poo the bed in sorting it out.

I imagine they have fire extinguishers close at hand inside all parts of the Palace of Westminster in case it burns down because all of the wiring is from the 30s and there's red hot steam pipes and sawdust and detritus everywhere and the one thing that MPs will fund is sticking plaster solutions for MPs not burning to death.

Tories used to at least do something for their money sometimes, but the new crowd are nouveau riches for whom the money and privilege has always been there and as a result they don't understand where it came from. They don't understand that before gathering as much as you can you have an obligation to ensure that everyone has enough. And that all comes from Thatcher.

mediadave posted:I imagine this won't go down well*, but I actually think this would be a good idea: The Labour rulebook requires the leader of the party to be their PM candidate, and Corbyn is the elected Leader of the Opposition with first dibs on forming a government under FTPA. This is a ridiculous fantasy - if Corbyn wants Rayner to replace him, he's going to have to step down and hold a months-long leadership election, which is an insane thing to do in the current climate.

The institutional power this subset of guffawing private school wankers is crazy. But also, lol @ the Tories
