Been playing in Tableau and made this: Some interesting insights into Corbyn's tenure as a whole. Gained vote share in significantly more seats than he lost across the 4 years Did not lose a single Remain seat net

Spangly A posted:% of vote, not seats (also not my data). You can increase your voteshare in a seat and still lose it. Yeah the data source doesn't count Northern Ireland (for obvious reasons) or either Speaker's seats (Bercow or Hoyle) which is why the total is 630 Not my data, it's from here if anyone else wants to play about : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Myl8IpeobHwTJQv4GPKHHIi5JrRXPgwOYh9Xl3uzh-E/edit?usp=sharing

He's only been an MP for five years, he's basically a blank slate like those robot bodies you can download a celebrity onto in Futurama. Unfortunately his programming has been corrupted by the Sensible Centrists.

blunt posted:Rishi's gonna cover 2/3 of employee wages for 6 months provided employees work 1/3 of their contracted hours for the next six months. Doesn't help people who are still unable to work even 1/3 of their hours and have been on furlough the whole time. Just dragging out the increasingly tenuous connection between work and pay. gently caress it all into the sea and launch UBI now.

If other people want to stay in the Labour Party then good luck to them. I just didn't want to keep reading about the poo poo things they were doing while seeing the monthly fee dribbling out of my account and feeling it was all somehow done in my name. It's clear enough the party as an entity doesn't want members with opinions like mine, despite there still being some notable good eggs in it. Fine by me. I'll *probably* still vote for them because I'm in a swing seat and gently caress voting Green and letting the Tories in. But honestly if the current standard of policy-free bum emissions from the leadership continues for four years, I might not even do that. The crushing of leftist hope over the past few years has successfully broken my spirit for the fight; life is hard enough right now without trying to take on the shambling corpse of the Labour Party as well. A year ago I was hoping to make use of my incredibly limited free time to get more involved in the local party and help push things further left. Now I really don't see the point. People with more time, energy and zeal can carry on if they want, I wish them every success, but I'm just loving done with it.

Gonzo McFee posted:I'm just extremely here for the Unions utterly sweeping the rug out from under the Labour right after they loudly poo poo the bed for five years. Doing a bit of background reading, Dave Prentis back in 2010 said he was fed up of "feeding the hand that bites" and made it clear that UNISON support was not unconditional. I can only assume that Ed and Jez's leadership helped to draw unions closer in (and saw the Fire Brigade Union return after leaving in 2004) but we really could see a swift reversal of that if Starmer continues to be a complete fucknugget.

19th Century style political cartoon idea for someone good at art (what happened to our official thread cartoonist?): A gallows with Kieth Starmer holding one end of an extremely long rope that loops up and over the top and then all the way back down to the ground where Boris Johnson is happily wandering about unimpeded by the rope around his neck because there's about eight foot of slack in it. All-caps text at the bottom reads GIVING THEM ENOUGH ROPE

SCG and at least some of the unions pulling away from Labour and merging with the greens to form an EcoSocialism party would be interesting. Instantly more MPs and more vote share than the Lib Dems. Absolute nightmare in FPTP though unfortunately.

Gort posted:Hm, been looking at that tax rebate for working from home due to coronavirus, and it looks like it's £6 for each week you're working from home. Which for me is like 30 weeks now, so more like £180 rather than £50... It's a claim against tax though so assuming you pay the standard rate you're saving 20% of the claim, effectively.

Interesting to see people itt getting het up about not endorsing the slightly less bad option in the US when they won't be doing the UK equivalent and voting for Starmer's Labour. If Starmer had answered "they're both awful, if I was American I wouldn't vote for either of them" he'd go up in my estimation by about 420%
