Jose posted:what are the new labour MP's like? Bambos Charalambous is on the right of the party but he's a decent enough bloke, been standing for Labour in Enfield Southgate since Twigg lost it I think. My impression is that he knows drat well it's the Corb effect enthusiasm that's finally got him over the line and he probably won't be joining any awkward squads.

jBrereton posted:Yeah and Theresa May being so much more inept than anyone at Labour HQ could possibly have hoped for. Biggest takeaway for me is that the power of the Sun and Daily Mail is slipping. Corbyn was their perfect target, they hit him with everything for 2 years, even had the help of his own party, and they couldn't take him down. They have to be worrying right about now. That and the youf vote. I've no idea where this 72% figure has come from but even if it wasn't that high, it was high. That's a cultural shift, that's peer influence bringing people out to vote and it's incredibly loving encouraging.

Bardeh posted:No idea who she was - she sneeringly said that the Tories needed to post stuff on Instagram to win the election, that 'it's no wonder young people will vote for you if you bribe them with £27000 each', and that there needs to be a new election 'and if Corbyn wins that then I guess we accept we're a left of centre country and I can safely leave and live somewhere else.' Don't young people realise their role is to constantly be shat on and have their live chances and opportunities for happiness be slowly shrivelled away? £70 billion pounds off taxes for the rich, apparently not a bribe. £200,000 off the price of a house with right to buy, apparently not a bribe.

communism bitch posted:Sleeping with my girlfriend is like purgatory most nights. My cycle is that I spend 2-3 nights each week not sleeping because of her sleep-talking, fidgeting and farting, spend a couple nights sleeping soundly because I'm so exhausted, and then once I'm well rested it's back to the routine of being woken up every hour. Sometimes I retreat to the sofa for some peace, but then she comes and kicks me awake at 4am and asks why I left her alone lol It completely varies for me, some people I've slept perfectly with and some it's a nightmare. I can tell I'm getting old because "what's she like in bed" now means 'pretty good, doesn't hog the duvet and seamlessly self-regulates with a single leg above the covers if it's warm' instead of kinky funtimes.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Can I make a modest proposal that we stop using the word "austerity" to describe Tory policy since 2010 and call it what is - "Taking money from the poorest to give it to the richest". Not the snappiest title admittedly, but I think it's something that really needs to be drilled into everyone. I still remember hearing Cameron on the telly use it and thinking "oh that's what they're calling it now"

It doesn't matter what the building regs are if the council and fire service don't have the resources to do inspections and the housing concerns of poor people are dismissed out of hand.

Honestly May's team is right to keep her away from the public on security grounds. Not morally right, every tory needs to be thrown to the loving wolves at this point, but it's basically a necessary decision if they want to keep her from getting verbally eviscerated or physically slapped.

Boris, fearful that the unfortunately necessary cuts to the fire service he was forced to make in the national interest (gotta build a garden bridge bruv) may place londoners in danger, personally prowled the rooftops of London at night catching small fires before they could escalate into infernos. A true hero.

SteelMentor posted:The ABSOLUTE BOY is laying into May: It's so weird to see the 'ensure this never happens again' type line from a politician and actually believe it. Like I actually believe PM Corbyn would do the work of, let's call it what it is, cartel breaking to stop another tower inferno. Are we still consciously refraining from hope or did that stop with the hung parliament?

OwlFancier posted:Yes, I would vote for a tory minority government and then let it collapse on its own, personally. The bigger a majority that labour can secure the better, and the more the tories gently caress up brexit the better any Labour deal will look. It would be a right shitter if Labour got in and then burned all its goodwill trying to make brexit work. This is silly. The brexit deal will have such a lasting impact, if Labour can mitigate some of the damage by keeping workers protection and safety standards that you know the tories would take the chance to dump that's more important than the election game.

Elliptical Dick posted:I just read in a Dutch newspaper that it would have cost all of 5000 pounds more to use the fireproof insulation cladding instead of the fire hazard that was installed. Yeah that's been widely reported. Is the plan for the tories to shamble like a zombie long enough to complete the brexit negotiations you think? There must be a shitload of money (for the rich obvs) in deprioritising workers rights, environmental protections, safety standards etc over the transition.

coffeetable posted:UK trains are actually really cheap compared to other countries when booked in advance and used off-peak. They're only more expensive when you book for today and travel in peak hours. "Tickets are affordable if you book in advance at off-peak times" is the she-shouldn't-have-been-dressed-like-that of train chat. It's a poxy little victim-blaming deflection that doesn't relate to the actual issue.

Cerv posted:comparing train ticket prices to rape is in poor taste I'm very obviously comparing the arguments used not the actual topics, behave. coffeetable posted:The actual issue is that demand varies wildly between peak and off-peak. What's the alternative way of smoothing it? Nationalise the the franchises away from independent companies that are still, despite your 'it's really efficient already!' claims, paying dividends in the same years as they increase ticket prices above inflation. Run the whole system as a nationalised whole and make investments as necessary, remembering that government borrowing is less damaging to the economy than some poor arsehole of a commuter shelling out half their salary on a rail pass. Then let the grownups handle it poo poo man I ain't a rail engineer.

Paul.Power posted:Anecdotal, but during the GOTV operation in Gower we ran into at least two Tories switched to Labour purely on the back of the Tory plan to repeal the fox hunting ban. Canvassing London I met two tory voters switching because they thought Corbyn would be safer than the tories on brexit and 1 tory switching to help her daughter go to university. But that was far outweighed by the people we had down as labour voters saying they wouldn't vote for Corbyn, even quite late in the campaign, so just based on my experience I'm surprised that we got a net swing from the tories.
