Someone knock me out until a GE is called, I can't loving cope with another month of wondering when the slight chance of getting a mildly socialist government is going to be flushed away somehow

A far better objection is that the electorate didn't vote for PM Harriet loving Harman or whoever, so it just looks like MPs ignoring people again

Hi. Canadian lurker poljunkie checking in. What’s the point at which Labour would have to think about changing leadership? Or is just a matter of enduring until the Torres immolate?

If Labour don't form a government after the next election, of course the knives will be out from the same shower of shite that initiated the chicken coup. Membership love Corbs though, so they'd need a clear successor to vote for anyone else.

Yes, despite what the internet thinks, mobile phones get called, too. In part because some of these dialers work by using a list of auto generated phone numbers, not actually a list from someplace.

The point still stands though. How many working people can answer their personal phone during office hours? You can't if you work in retail, you can't at most call centres.

Good to see the union effort in games showing it has teeth.

An aggressive response. Maybe this kind of protest is fomenting otherwise apathetic attention? LIke I said I was judging climate action on its results. Not that I dunno some dudes were well respected legal law people. Very strange that people criticise XR for being too compliant and then worry they haven't got the best legal advice?

The best legal advice is to not be too compliant. Maybe if you actually read the posts in this thread then you would be able to converse like less of a loving moron.

Yes on that count but of course the article doesn't focus on her and frames the entire thing in the worst light possible.

That said misogyny is the political process would be totally unsurprising to me so is there a bit of a concern or not?

The population of female MPs that have been up for reselection this time round is tiny, so it's hard to draw meaningful conclusions. However, if misogyny was the driving force here then you'd expect to also see a proportional number of leftist/pro-Corbyn women being triggered for reselection.

It also overlooks the fact that a female labour MP triggered for reselection will have an all female nomination list in the selection ballot, by party rules.

e: there were also more women than men who endorsed Owen Smith, so if that is a motivator for reselection then you'd expect to see that represented

My (Labour) MP has had 40,000 leaflets delivered saying "Labour will not vote for a Tory Brexit", so I'm hoping that's the party line

e: gently caress, I'd convinced myself that was true, but then I dug out the leaflet and it's about as melty as I'd expect from a chicken-coup coward who voted to bomb Syria.



Of course, you could interpret this as never voting for a Tory deal, because lol at the idea of Boris even knowing that Halifax exists.

Manchester goons, please help.

I was down with the missus about four years ago, and we went for breakfast in the northern quarter, and I can't remember the name of the drat place but would like to go again.

It was a very home like cafe type place, they did french toast where the slices were about a half loaf each and it was incredible. There were way more tables in the place than there had any right to be, and specifically one room of the place was nothing but small tables.

This is a poo poo description, but it's all i've got to go on. I will also accept other breakfast recommendations in lieu of the actual answer.

Sounds like Home Sweet Home maybe

Earlier someone posted a tweet from someone saying 'we need a british Bernie Sanders', but rejecting Corbyn as not being the same thing. Why is that? Is it because Sanders is still relatively unknown, so people can project their own image onto him, or maybe they like the idea of progressive politics as long as it's something that happens on the other side of the atlantic. Will we see the same monstering of Bernie as we got with Corbyn if he looks like he might actually win?

Also pickled onion is the best flavour of monster munch AND crisps (unless chilli and lemon is available)

Noel Fielding is a huge melt, and Bernie winning won't mean he has to pay more tax on his hard-earned bake off money
