Momentum supported. Has some Roman Catholic personal views. Lisa Nandy  Towns candidate for towns and other places that are larger than villages and smaller than cities. From the Labour 'soft left' but some of her associates are a bit Blue Labour. Keir Starmer  Was the longtime favourite to win. Probable melt/Milibandist. Deputy leadership candidates: Richard Burgon Dawn Butler Angela Rayner Rosena Allin-Khan Ian Murray “Sylvain Marechal - Manifesto of the Equals” posted:“The people marched over the bodies of kings and priests who were in league against it: it will do the same to the new tyrants, the new political Tartuffes seated in the place of the old.” In Other News  • Austria, Germany, and Slovenia confirm they will not extradite their nationals if they are accused of crimes in the UK. • Coal power could be phased out by 2024 in the UK. • Coronavirus is confirmed in the UK, and some storms cause mass flooding. • A British Airways Boeing 747 aircraft makes the fastest ever subsonic New York JFK to London Heathrow crossing, reaching ground (but not air) speeds of mach 1.07 by riding storm Ciara. • Expansions to Bristol and London Heathrow airports are blocked by courts on climate change and air pollution grounds. • Sajid Javid and Philip Rutnam resign, replaced with Rishi Sunak and endless howling copies of Priti Patel respectively. • 304 days until Super Brexit. • Planet's dyin' Cloud. By March, the worst of the winter would be over. The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run and the world would wake into itself again. Not that year.  Boris Johnson visits flood stricken areas.

Love to see the Johnson news. It’s such a great example of how the general public don’t actually give a poo poo about what they claim to. Imagine if this was Corbyn. Just loving imagine.

You can add me to Sheffield South East but I probably won't go to a meeting without another like minded individual as it seems to be melt central and I'm not going to do that to my soul.

I've seen precious little in these threads about the ongoing UCU strikes, plus the CWU are balloting members again soon. If you have some time, and are near a picket, see if you can help out. (You can't carry official picket branding etc, but might be able to bulk up numbers, or go get stuff for folks)

I think I may be winning/losing in the virus last one alive in this thread at the moment. At work today, one of the cafeteria workers that I chat poo poo with, said one of his classmates (hes studying in uni) was on the plane with the 1st Northern Ireland confirmed case. His classmate was in uni the next day, but was told to quarantine for a month the next day.

Glasgow, North East, in a CLP that is rigged by the Orange Order and chaired by a former BNP activist (i wish I was making this up). In Glasgow most of the CLP execs are ran by Progress types, a lot of militarist/Trident lovers too. Know a lot of members of my CLP campaigned for Kate Watson rather than Paul Sweeney because he was Catholic. Our 2021 MSP candidate was selected due to the Order being able to mobilise support for him. The situation in Glasgow is pretty dire due to these kinds of allegiances, deals and mobilisations. The Order is pretty much able to march due the debt that a lot of councillors owe them, as a lot of the local wards only return Labour candidates due to their steadfast commitment to unionism. Matt Kerr has launched a challenge for Scottish Labour's Deputy Leader. He recently walked out of Glasgow City Chambers rather than support a city budget based on austerity principles. He is a supporter of tenants rights organisation Living Rent as well as the No Evictions Campaign, who are working to prevent mass Evictions of asylum seekers from their housing provided by the Home Office and Serco through a number of private landlords. He is opposed by Jackie Baillie (alongside Union Jack suit wearing UK deputy leader candidate Ian Murray) who has came out in support of Labour Councillors in Aberdeen who entered into a coalition with the Tories and have since been suspended by the party. Its a complete mess and Labour in Scotland is on the verge of extinction due to administrative positions being held by members in thrall to a military industrial complex that requires UK state investment in order to survive. Don't think there is anywhere else in the UK like it, would love to hear if there is though!

Side-note - Fourth community transition case identified in the US. The hoax is real. [edit] The latest one was a guy who had just died and after being tested doctors were like: "whoops! Coronavirus." Anyway, the US will make a great testbed to see exactly how infectious this beast is... Munin fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Mar 1, 2020 |

That really lends credence to Ice Phisherman's fears in the USpol threads about an impending medicine shortage, as an awful lot of those factories make things the whole world uses to synthesize into modern medicine.

There's also a slight worry that because most of the world's container traffic originates in Asia, a lot of global shipping businesses are going to be unable to ship anything because there's going to be no containers left to use as they will all be impounded in ports there and not being utilised anywhere else
