I take the point about going on and on about Labour but in the spirit of owning up when you get it wrong, it turns out McDonnell has in fact given a major speech today setting out a lot of interesting policies in some detail!

Anyone been keeping track of the metro mayor elections? They'll be happening on May 4, and they're a pretty big deal - each mayor is put in charge of several councils in a region, and will oversee that region on a general, strategic level. For example, the mayor for the west of England will oversee the running of the Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and Bath and North-East Somerset councils, co-ordinating education, transport, housing, and the economy. I actually met the West England Labour candidate, Lesley Mansell, last night, and was very impressed - she's smart, honest, and has an impressively diverse range of experience. Definitely would be an idea to pay attention to this one.

UnlimitedSpessmans posted:can't they just round us up in camps if they want us dead so bad. So much of the right wing moralist condition makes sense if you recognize this. They're against sex education so that unwanted pregnancies happen, against abortion so that they turn into unwanted births, and against benefits so that they become children living in poverty. About the only thing that they are for is prohibition, punishment, and constrained 'traditional' roles. And misery, of course.

There shouldn't be a metro mayor for Manchester or Birmingham. The government should respect the will of the people who rejected a mayor less than five years ago.

Unless it seems like the LDs are in danger of getting it, I'll probably vote for Darren Hall. He's a bit up himself but generally sound.

So that's 8 positive words: red, gay, bright, brave, bold, cool, wow, and nice; 4 neutral words: odd, none, oh, and ok; and 8 negative words: idiot, yuk, twat, prat, clown, no, loud, and golf. Seems fairly evenly balanced.

The few times I've seen her in a debate she gets verbally dominated. Even when I agree with what she's saying, the way she puts her points across in interviews or in debates makes my toes curl. So much eye rolling and finger wagging. She is the Ann Widdecombe of the left.
