In unrelated news I'm aware this is (blue white and) pink washing and they're still tax avoiding bastards but Starbucks are doing a thing supporting Mermaids

Time was when this charity wasn't getting any kind of public support let alone corporate, and in peri-Brexit T*RF hell world, I'll take that small positive

I like how "the Labour Party has a long and varied past" is one of those things that sounds perfectly reasonable, but in the context of a twitter list, you just know theres gonna be some madness later on.

Edit :and there it is. Jesus Christ.

Funny how when Blair wanted to scrap clause 4 and take the party to the right, the socialists complained about the party becoming unrecognisable they were told to shut up and lump it and move with the times for the good of the party and it was all good and no problem. But now the left is reasserting itself all of a sudden change is terrible, it's a big hard left conspiracy and they absolutely. Will. Not. Shut. Up about it in the press, sabotaging the leadership and melting down over Twitter to the delight of their clapping circle, from now until forever, gently caress the consequences. Centrism is the goddamn worst.

Why are the melts so convinced by young, white, cis-male, right-adjacent Starmer? It truly is a mystery.

It is weirdly out of character for the thread, most times when a topic comes up people don't care about or they find the poster annoying they don't turn that into a stick to beat them with. If you don't care, don't read, if you don't know about the topic either way, listen, if you don't like the poster, ignore and if they're being extra lovely report. Turning around and going "who rattled your leeks :v: " is kind of uncalled for and uncomradely.

Well, this is pretty mask-off from Cummings and Javid:

‘Downing Street has dismissed concerns about a deportation flight to Jamaica as the preoccupation of a “Westminster bubble” and vowed to press ahead with an inquiry into the use of judicial review.

After a court judgment forced the government to remove more than half the people from the flight list, the prime minister’s press secretary said reaction to the case showed that “certain parts of Westminster still haven’t learned the lessons of the 2019 election”.’

"You're in a bubble, whereas I am in a safety shell of lightweight transparent material that affords me protection whilst offering excellent unparalleled 360 degree visibility on the world" he screams from his bubble as he deports Brits home from the place they've lived all their life

I'm not sure if making a big deal out of anything that isn't the most tangible and basic life quality stuff is going to help labour.

It's the catch 22 situation where a lot of the country (geographically, demographically) can look at the Tories and see how they're not caring about their problems. But the moment the left move to address those problems, the same people look at that and say "why are you bothering with that fringe issue" because they don't recognise the problem THEY care about is someone else's fringe issue. I think the only way you deal with that is to try and encourage solidarity outside of the electoral system, encourage people to care about the issues that don't effect them so directly, see an attack on one as an attack on all.

Ironically enough, that would do wonders for spreading the consciousness that leads to us getting elected, it's just how you go about doing that in a system that is so stacked against such a lot of people that they can't afford to care about the problems that do directly effect them let alone the ones that don't. That probably involves shaming a bunch of people who are currently content to be idle Guardian reading commentariat to show up more than once every 4 years and actually use some of their freedom from consequences of austerity to benefit someone else.

"People should live how they want, but we're okay with using force against states which don't let people live how they want."

Which I guess you could read as being okay with fighting fascism, but I'm not sure how you can build it on top of an ideology that says "government is not of or by the people and is inherently untrustworthy and can't do anything right."

"Government is not of or by the people and is inherently untrustworthy and can't do anything right, so we'll give it a massive army and nukes but only to use on the bad countries."

As always it depends who you define as "people"

I got one of the last lot of red ones, it's just a shame the photo was taken before I grew into my new face properly. As my gender therapist said "they're cheaper to replace if they meet with an accident in a dishwasher, say" but I might just keep it, mugshot and all. I'd love it if I never had to replace it for a blue one. It'll never happen that way, but a girl can dream.

So uh... I got an email the other day saying basically we can't let you vote in the leader election because the name you're registered with us isn't *exactly* the same as the one on the electoral roll. I did reply to it and got an automated response but nothing since. How hosed am I?

There’s still plenty of time to get it sorted hopefully, voting is open into April. If you don’t get a response soon I’d be looking for someone direct that you can contact, maybe try enlisting the help of someone in a position in your CLP in finding it if it’s not immediately obvious.

Oh cool, I didn't realise it was open so long. There's a meeting coming up so I'll talk to them there. Thanks :)

Thank you so much:) What are you writing??

Hopefully a novel, just based on some ideas I've been toying with for a while. My girlfriend got me writing three pages of just whatever comes into my head first thing in the morning as a warm up for the day, and some days that's all I do. But on the days I have time to write I can get a few hundred words down and I'm not just hitting my stride when I run out of time.
