The one thing I would say for Starmer is he's the 'please let the beatings stop' surrender candidate and Labour might fare a little better just from not having every paper in the country relentlessly gunning for them. It remains to see if this will follow through and if the North will vote for Mr London Remainer guy, but I understand the impulse in going for him.

if we nominate john kerry, they couldn't possibly attack a war hero

it's a shame, covid is really hitting shops hard, especially on the edge of the shopping district. Whiteladies Road is mostly doing OK, but up on the top end at Blackboy Hill it's going to be wrecked. I don't know if those retailers are going to survive.

every musician (and other types of artist) here in Berlin got 5k Euro from the government at the beginning of the lockdown lol.

it went super fast too, basically within a week of applying you got 5k in the bank, and the checks will be done afterwards (you will have to pay it back if you don't actually qualify)

lol that's six months salary for me holy poo poo

This is something that will forever amaze me. This guy could have just chilled with all kinds of money and been like some advisor to some shadowy think tank to add to whatever obscene wealth he already has but he just wants to live the most painful life leading the country. It's almost as if he was indoctrinated from an early age to "rule" at his own expense for powers beyond his control or w/e here we are. Just take the money and run and get a nice suntan. Eton people are loving weird.

denigrating a man for devoting his life to public service to the point it nearly killed him smdh

You said that Corbyn referred to Hezbollah etc as his friends because he wanted to promote dialogue, therefore he would not be insulting. Dialogue involves two parties or more, so the same should apply to his comments about Israel. They clearly don't (the apartheid references etc), so the excuse that he used that language to further dialogue does not really add up. I believe that he called them his friends because he is sympathetic to their cause and is prepared to overlook the very real problems with their ideology and practices. As a Jew that does not endear him to me.

this is in bad faith :)
