UPDATE - It's election time again! Well, elections for some executive and policy positions in the Labour Party if you're a card carrying Party member. The elections will be for the NEC, where the Momentum slate is: forkboy84 posted:Yasmine Dar, Huda Elmi, Rachel Garnham, Ann Henderson, Jon Lansman, Navendu Mishra, Claudia Webbe, Darren Williams and Peter Willsman. and for the National Policy Forum, where the Momentum backed candidates for each region are listed here. Welcome to the July UKMT, where it's time for the newspapers to start measuring everything in Rankine, because Cloud Potato posted:
The heat appears to have melted everyone's brains, as the cabinet are busy tidying up the fine details on a Brexit plan that the EU has already rejected, and Boris Johnson announces that the Convervatives are the party of gently caress business. Summertime Blues  A leaked report predicts shortages of food, fuel, and medicine if Britain leaves the EU without a deal. The government approves a plan to keep Heathrow relevant, but fails to drive over Boris Johnson. A study from The Mammal Society and Natural England says that almost one in five British mammals are at risk of extinction, and the remainder are at risk of David Cameron. The Grenfell inquiry continues along the lines of blaming firefighters for not responding correctly to the building that was illegally covered in flammable foam. The UN is going to investigate the impacts of Tory austerity in Britain. Doctors Without Borders have condemned the EU for 'deliberately condemning people to drown at sea'. The 'Punish A Muslim Day' dickhead is back in court about some other brain genius stunts.

Who thought it was alright to actually give Scotland summer sun? I know we ask for it, and we go looking for it all over, but giving us anything above 25C is a massive mistake in terms of anybody being able to do anything.

The Met Office says there's a 50% chance of a thunderstorm in Portsmouth for the rest of the day, with temperatures staying in the high 20s with 60% humidity and no wind. Joy to the loving world

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44672879 This... seems like something they should have done about two years ago? We all know they have no loving clue what they're doing but seriously why is nobody anywhere in the media asking that very simple question?

Joy to the loving world Does anyone else get a headache when a thunderstorm is on the way? I know some of it is selection bias but I definitely get a very specific pain between my eyes when one's on the way, which i always assumed was something to do with pressure changes.

England usually get to the semi-final and lose on penalties don't they? (if they actually do well)

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44672879 Are you questioning the will of the people? Seriously, if you have a problem with this, speak out about it. Talk to your MP, talk to the media, talk to anyone you know with some measure of influence (or, at least, anyone you know whos good at being loud and obnoxious). This country may not be very good at being a democracy, but public apathy only makes it worse.

Dead Goon posted:England usually get to the semi-final and lose on penalties don't they? No. Quarter Finals. They've fallen at the last 8 6 times, they've only lost in the penalties in 1990. And the last time they made the Quarters was 2006 so it's not exactly recent. namesake posted:Surely two of these teams are going to make it to the final? No, those teams are all from the same side of the bracket. 2 of them will go to the semis.
