Even if Starmer Labour do come out with a coherent set of policies, he's already told us he'll lie to get elected. If the next Labour manifesto contains anything good at all, why should we believe it will be implemented?

Doktor Avalanche posted:He's doing it, making a new party? Or are they gonna throw him out of labour? The latter, he lost the whip and they're never gonna let him back in. I very much doubt he's going to try to start a new party. One of his major faults as a politician is that despite everything they've done to him he still believes the Labour Party is an effective vehicle for left wing politics. e: I didn't realise that he's still apparently a rank and file party member. I imagine that they're saving the final boot for if/when he stands against them as an independent in the next general Tarnop has issued a correction as of 20:59 on Jun 13, 2022 |

Jose posted:Think I'm going to have to use private healthcare for an ADHD assessment because I got referred march last year and still have no idea when I'd get seen. My mate who made it through the nhs here and got diagnosed a month ago just got told the start of his titration could be up to 6 months lmao I went to the pharmacy this afternoon to collect my repeat prescription for ADHD meds and was told that they can't source my medication. So even when you're assessed and titrated and prescribed, the bullshit never ends. The dickhead behind the counter said "do you really need it?"

CoolCab posted:they're loving stupid, there seems to be a crisis of them over-reporting or underreporting every few months and someone gets massively screwed. i couldn't see any argument from the consumer perspective like literally at all other than "it saves me from a minor task i need to do maybe 5 times a year", it for sure won't save you a penny - all i can figure is that the electric companies are incentivized to push them because it lets them know when someone is going into electrical debt so they can get cut off :/ If your energy company is estimating your usage and they estimate too much, when you send them a correct meter reading they have to credit the overestimate back to your account at the current rate. In an environment where unit prices are going up, this is a potential loss to them. Knowing when as well as how much is important data to them right now.

Jose Mengelez posted:on a scale of blair-to-brown how hosed would the NHS be under starmer? how much would even be left after two long cold years of shortbus thatcher? Both he and Streeting share a donor who is up to his nuts in one of the big US healthcare corps. Streeting was interviewed for some lovely centrist magazine recently and it was all about the NHS needing to work with private companies to meet the demands of modern Britain. We're hosed e: https://twitter.com/Lowkey0nline/status/1573650694460030978
