Just an aside, if I look at my local CLP facebook page, most of the most vocal ones on there are blairites. It puts people like me off posting there, however whenever there *are* posts/comments from Corbyn supporters, they get *loads* of likes on there. So I think all these poo poo noms could be a symptom of the same thing?

You can add a little oil if you want while cooking, or a little butter after, plus whatever herbs you like. E: And you should sauté cabbage too. None of this boiling crap. EE: And brocolli and kale.

Convinced the bridge, along with the garden bridge, were/are projects simply designed to funnel public money to "consultants". It's a great idea tbf. Pay a load of money out for feasibility studies, engineering consultancy, etc. etc. and then say "actually nah we're not doing it". Don't have to have anything to show for it, and you've successfully siphoned off millions of pounds.

Burgon also said Woodcock had a rotten political outlook, and good riddance to him Will stop now as interview is done. He came across well. Main thrust of what he was saying: He's for anti-war internationalism, he thinks the party should be more democratic, he is for open selection.

peanut- posted:Question as I've not been following things too closely. Every time I see an article about Starmer recently he seems to be openly committing to Corbyn-inherited left-wing policies, but every time I click on this thread it seems like people are calling him a centrist Blairite. Not being disingenuous with this, is there strong reason to believe he's a lying fucker? Look at who's supporting him, and who he's got working on his team. He's going big on "party unity" and the "broad church" thing which has always just been an excuse to shift the party rightward whilst forcing the left to "compromise". https://jacobinmag.com/2020/02/keir-starmer-labour-party-uk-leadership quote:The most right-wing rump of the PLP would be encouraged by a Starmer win. It would suspect, fairly or not, that Starmer is less committed to the left-wing policies which some rightist Labour MPs wasted no time in attacking as the election results were pouring in last month. By recruiting former Corbyn advisers including Simon Fletcher and Kat Fletcher, Starmer is doubtless aiming to reassure the Left about his intentions. Less reassuring, however, is the appointment of Matt Pound — former national organizer for the right-wing Labour First — to Starmer’s campaign team, a move hardly likely to dissuade the PLP right that he could be dragged further in its direction once installed as leader. quote:In appointing Pound, a self-proclaimed “full-time” organizer against the “hard left,” Starmer was (presumably deliberately) sending out a message to the Labour right that its concerns would be heeded and its interests tended to if he became party leader.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:It's catch 22 - if you can't reach the higher paying jobs in cities by public transport to save deposits and so forth, you can't afford to move to said cities to get the better paid jobs in the better infrastructure. This is why we need the Lib Dem policy of loans for rental deposits!  Anyway, going back to the person asking about "why is Keir Starmer seen as centrist/on the Labour right when he's been publicly committing to left wing policies": https://twitter.com/Simon_Vessey/status/1227648495064096769?s=20 It's the usual Liberal mealy-mouthed poo poo of saying "Yes we should make left-wing changes!*" Where the asterisk is always: *lol but not really. "We must decarbonise!*" *But I'm not going to commit to this already existing plan that other candidates have committed to "We must end the gender pay gap!" *At a non-specific date in the future, when other candidates have committed to one "We must increase income tax for high earners**" **For some non-specific value of "increase" and "high earners". "We must continue with left-wing policies!***" ***But I'm not going to tell you which ones and some of them will certainly have to go.

WhatEvil posted:It's either obvious to you why you're wrong about all the things you've been posting about this thread or it never will be. Wanted to come back to this because obviously I was very dismissive about it and other people have been too (not that it's entirely undeserved). Seriously, you need to look at your thinking. If you find yourself having to make arguments in this fashion then something has gone seriously wrong with your ability to think critically and evaluate and form effective arguments. This is something many (most?) liberals seem to fall into. It's tied into a thinking of "common sense" as a useful guiding principle on political thought, whereas in reality people who think in this way tend to give into their own preconceived notions of what is right, rather than critically analysing things. So as an example, prison sentences. Harsher prison sentences are associated with a lowering of the crime rate, obviously. It's just common sense. Except they're not. The opposite is actually true. The stats are there to back this up. There are LOTS of things like this which are counterintuitive. The problem is, "common sense" beyond like, very basic survival stuff (e.g. "I should not walk into the middle of a busy motorway if I want to stay alive") is really just a collection of your preconceived biases and can very often steer you in the wrong direction.
