God save me.

I've seen that dead, piggy-eyed stare from a thousand drunks and bigots in a thousand pubs when you ask them a difficult question.

Welp, Neil pretty much monstered Jòris on schools, libraries, hospitals, prisons, criminal justice, benefits, child poverty, Islamophobia, and Brexit. There should be endless clips of flailing angry prevarication to spread after this.

He still didn't actually push back on any lies, or stop Johnson from blustering on CORBYN BAD tangents, but it was a lot more substantial than I would have expected.

Marr, not Neil.

That's the lad who died.

loving shameful for the tories to use this lad as a meat shield.

With the body barely cold, poor lad, the Tories politicise his death.

My mother and brother swear that thermal leggings are loving amazing.
Brother works as a brickie, so is out on cold sites this time of the year. The thermals are a wonder to keep him warm.
They are not only for old people.

Fucker to get off at night, mind. Like trying to struggle out of a wetsuit.

In other matters, I have my hustings Tuesday, and Vicky Ford, our esteemed Tory Mp will be there, and I want some killer questions. I suspect it will be local focused to Chelmsford. What we are doing in the clp is homelessness, NHS (hospital getting merged with Basildon and Southend), commuter woes (wont someone think of the commuters?), housing, big leave vote, etc.

I dont want to be a milquetoast asking easily generalised questions. If it helps you hate her a bit more, I'm sure she's bucking for the cabinet as she is always on TV telling us how awesome Joris is.

Question for anyone with the expertise to answer: Could a Labour government simply immediately repeal the Health and Social Care Act 2012? Would doing so improve the situation somewhat by itself? I'm thinking along these lines because it seems like it would be much faster than introducing new legislation and we need changes ASAP. Obviously there would be more to do, but could this be an act of triage?

It's a bit murky under the ftpa parliament cannot be bound by previous parliaments, but I doubt Labour can unilaterally do it. It would also certainly need the legal beagles to peruse it.

Seems I'm taking over our CLP's social media engine. Been reading documents all day about the systems we use and all that, and now have a huge headache (also, well nervous; I get to budget it and all that). Plus, hustings tomorrow night. I like being busy, even if in a losing cause, as Chelmsford hasn't changed hands in 69 years.

Possibly teaching grandma to suck eggs but:

Be careful because there are strict rules over photos, buildings, businesses that can appear.

Apparently labour (nationally) pay out �000s each year in fines when peoples' images or businesses have been used without permission. The national party have made it clear this time that they will NOT be paying any fines, these will be payable by the CLP and photographer directly.

To be safe (and I know this can be galling) but only use photos of actual members. Members of the public have to sign a release - verbal permission is NOT ENOUGH.

You also shouldn't use public buildings eg hospitals, libraries and if you are doing a street scene, it's ok if it's general but don't stand outside a specific shop or business in a way which suggests endorsement by that business of labour.

Obviously you will see thousands of posted images including fro local parties which appear to violate these conditions and maybe no one does anything about it, but you might be the unlucky one.

We have a press officer who vets all our postings in the labour party name plus we share anything issued directly by labour or welsh labour.

If you are intending to do paid adverts you will need to get involved with the dreaded Promote system. It's taken our person day after day to get through all the various promote requirements and then the business facebook requirements. (I did it in 2017 and it seems more onerous this year). And then arbitrarily facebook decides she's not authorized and she has to go through it all over again. And if you are paying for adverts you need to be absolutely scrupulous about the paid coverage - putting a central point and a radius around it is absolutely NOT sufficient. I have spent hours on google earth with the official constituency KLM file mapping postcodes to make sure we don't go over into neighbouring constituencies.

Sorry if you know all that anyway (but hey, someone else might be reading who doesn't).

CC instead of BCC chat:

One of our local members did that tonight in error - fortunately with a subset of members who are doing the canvassing. Let's hope none of the 20 people included get funny about it!

PS If you want to poo poo post about Johnson and share dodgy memes, it's ok to do it under your own name! Try not to do it with your official CLP hat on!

All wise words. Yeah, Promote is what has been boring me to tears today. It's all going to be paid ads, so we will see. I'll probably bother you about this in future, if I may. Our CLP is... less than dynamic.

Crying chat, I didn't used to be able to cry, even when I wanted to, needed to. Nothing to do with repression or anything, I just got a hot feeling behind my eyes and a sinking feeling in my gut.

Then, yeah, flash forward to last year and I'm riding a little rental bike around Berlin and each one's given a little name tag, so my friends back home would be all "how's starshine today" or whatever and I'd send them a recording of the bell ringing or something daft. Then it came to the end of the holiday and I had to lock her up and gently caress me, I started bawling like someone had killed my pets, except laughing at the same time because I knew it was loving ridiculous, over saying goodbye to a rental bike! And that was when I knew I'd made good life choices.

It's good though, I also get properly happy when I'm happy, angry about the things I should be angry about, and it's all motivating. Sadness can be paralyzing but I wouldn't trade it to be an emotionless husk again.

Congratulations, you have now joined our personality cult. Ratjaculation will be with you shortly to extract appropriate enzymes.

There are already a pile of resources for you to do that, it doesn't matter. People do not post about AS stuff because they actually care about it or because they care about facts. They post because it's an excuse. The news are never going to report on labour refuting it because that would run contrary to the narrative.

Just because someone says a thing doesn't mean they actually believe the thing or care about the thing, they say the thing because it's a thing to say which can be followed by the thing they actually care about. "Labour are antisemitic so I won't vote for jeremy corbyn". The latter is the important part, the former part is just a fact-shaped thing to say so they can say the second bit, which they believe on a far more instinctive level or for far stupider reasons they are not interested in examining or changing.
