I didn't vote for Starmer (or Rayner, in fact) and I'm far from happy he won but abandoning the party because of it just seems completely counter-productive, at least right now we're not going to achieve a socialist government by leaving en masse the only party with a prayer of forming one, and every election we lose because we don't turn out for Labour is going to let the Tories continue with their slash and burn policies and yeah people keep saying "there's no parliamentary route to socialism" but guess what, there isn't a non-parliamentary one either right now

how torturous is the Universal Credit signup system right now? I've never applied for it before because the idea of having to explain in ridiculous detail how depressed I am sounds like a really bad idea for my continuing survival (and I don't quote need unquote the money), but if right now they're automatically (or near enough) approving everyone then it seems a bit silly not to sign up even if it's only for a couple of months

Sykic posted:From what I've been told the main hurdle will be the ID check, if you can stand to wait for the call to confirm it all the rest should be (relatively) simple. You shouldn't have anyone breathing down your neck at an assessment anytime soon at least. if all I've got to do is give them my NI number so they can check I've not been employed any time recently then I think I'll probably do it, thanks even if it's only a couple of hundred quid I'm not gonna look a gift pandemic in the mouth

Prince John posted:Edit: ^^ Apparently they were never charging the NHS rent, but for a contribution towards the fixed costs of maintaining the building, if you believe the response they put out. They're now waiving that too. £2-3 million monthly sounds like a fuckload of "maintenance" for a building which I'm given to believe is basically a giant aircraft hangar

jabby posted:If Starmer had said he was abandoning Corbyn's policies and also scrapping the one-man-one-vote system for electing the leader, I could understand quitting. and while he hasn't given jobs to Corbyn's crew he also hasn't handed them out to any of the big wreckers like Emily Maitlis wanted him to so let's not act like all hope has been lost immediately

Dog Friday posted:Not getting why everyone is onboard with this “it’s not political” nonsense? It absolutely is political surely since the person involved has made undermining healthcare a political priority. Seems conservatives have been so quick to take this position because their policies are looking pretty stupid right now, everyone else shouldn’t fall for it. "how dare you make [political thing] political" has been a rallying cry of the right for years now, they were using it after Grenfell too and in the US it crops up after literally every gun massacre

Bardeh posted:Slice it into 1 inch thick strips, boil it for ten minutes in water with a tablespoon each of white vinegar and salt, pat dry with some paper towel, deep fry for 5 mins on each side, take it out for a few minutes, fry again for 1.5 mins each side. Then let it cool before you eat it. Bit of a faff, but absolutely worth it. how exactly do I deep fry something on only one side?

XMNN posted:in a completely anecdotal barometer of how bad the situation in hospitals is, my dad hasn't actually been asked to go in to help out yet, which is a bit odd. I feel like if they were really hurting for staff he would be one of the first people called back as he's a very recently retired anaesthetist and his colleagues specifically reached out to him. Apparently they're nearing a 100 COVID deaths but I don't know if that's a lot relative to the capacity of the hospital. a relative of mine who's a GP in London says his local hospital has got ~20 empty ICU beds and the feeling is that they won't even need to use the Nightingale
