I just think if you're going to make a principled stand, do it over something significant like the Spycops bil, or the sacking of people who voted against Foreign Torture bill, or the failure to tackle racism against black MPs.

Starmer has done plenty of stuff to warrant passing motions about (or quitting the party over). Corbyn is literally just one dude who was a pleasant but rather ineffectual leader, and his suspension is more likely to be a cock-up on both sides than the start of The Great Purge. Personally I expect he'll be reinstated following a "clarification" or apology.

Labour is going to come out with a lot of bad policy until (if) the left gets back in power, that's the ground to criticise and fight within the party or quit. Corbyns suspension is a continuation of the attack on the left section of the party and so it does need a proper direct response because the arguments over policy will never be won if key members can just be kicked out for saying things the rightwing doesn't want them to say. That's the difference and that's why using it as a uniting point is extremely important for the stay and fight lot to do.

Hell if they get better than expected NEC elections AND get the leadership to back down over Corbyn then they have a legitimate argument about the ability the left still has in changing the direction of the party.

It's hard to believe this actually happened.

I can buy that he fired them because his wife told him to, but the whole "told them to get out and never return" stuff smacks of his allies trying to make him sound as manly and decisive as possible when in reality he probably did it by email.

Yeah remember this isn't a script, it's real life - so from the claim itself there were three people there, two of which would not disclose that they were underhanded liars and got caught and a third who would absolutely make some poo poo up to seem forceful and dramatic. Maybe there was a secretary to record the events but they're somewhat unlikely to be an aide to the PM and also a huge leak.

This is PR being reported as fact.

Well you've got to remember that Peston used Cummings as an 'anonymous' Number 10 source a lot so this is quite possibly just spin from him through Peston.

Basically don't overthink this poo poo because none of us have any real insight into what happened and we shouldn't trust anything the media or politicians tell us about it.

I do wonder how useful �knowing what you�re on about� is in this new age of populism where one side are insane robber barons but that�s not his fault.

While completely adept at theory and certain history the thing that broke the spell for me was when they spoke in a sense of authority about a particular bodies opinion of youth minimum wage levels which was the complete opposite of what that body had been recommending for the last 3 years and when challenged admitted that they hadn't read anything recent about what they were saying.

'Don't be fooled by confidence and always be willing to argue your corner' is a pretty good takeaway I feel. Props to them about admitting their lack of recent knowledge however, things would be better if we all did.

More evidence here for my theory that nobody has the first clue what they�re actually doing ever because the world is complex and full of unintended consequences.

Uhhh... I mean... yes?

There's not a single type of social or economic theory which suggests that the world is simple except for theocracy or monarchal absolutism. There it is easy - the divine spirit or God or whatever embues the ruling structure with absolute authority and so you either agree with that authority or rebel against God.

Thousands of years of war and revolution later we've sort of managed to dethrone God.

So now we rebel against Man or Authority and those similar forces that ruled through God now declare they rule because of Nature or Entrepreneurship or whatever. But the heart of it is that their ability to rule is based on their power to rule and nothing more. So all that is ever needed is the will and ability to dethrone these humans and create a better state for all.

Stopped reading at "cash-strapped Treasury", like why do they keep buying into the rhetoric that they can't just issue a bunch of bonded debt to build things that generate revenue that are kept in public hands which can pay off the debt while also creating jobs that put money into the economy which also generates public revenue?

I get that they won't, but it's not that they can't and that keeps being ignored.

It requires a belief in positive economic multipliers from state spending which liberals are always uncomfortable accepting because then the state should actually do a lot more things.

Also it doesn't even require the government issuing debt except for it's a vital part of the private financial system.

That does seem super inept. How did he become leader with political instincts like that?

Disorientation of and lack of legacy planning on the left really. Corbyn got wrecked by 2019 and resigned without being able to get any decent, widely known successors in the party able to be the left candidate after his resignation. This meant the right could prop up Starmer as an escape from all the horrible media attacks and a bunch of the membership either hate the left or were convinced that they could still be left without having the press be hostile and so voted him in.

Unlikely. Afaict JC believes in the actual labour movement, not the existence of a party called �labour�. Why would he betray his constituents to keep a Tory-lite party alive?

Nah he definitely has firm belief in the Labour Party, that's why he stuck with it for decades and urged everyone to stay in it. No doubt he's really sick of all of this though and I expect he'll stand down at the next election and just go on speaking circuits and rallies.

The Labour right are possibly playing the long game here by making sure the distrust between the left and the centre becomes permanent while also waiting for the new disputes process to innately repress leftist internationalist policies as violent or bigoted or something, then force some sort of crisis on Starmer and run someone for leader who will openly adopt the policies they want.

This'll work until some random person at a hustings asks them something like 'What makes your platform different from the Tories?' and they make an absolute arse of themselves.

Nah, it was the British Mandate of Palestine before it was Israel, we have a unique connection to the area because of when Britain ruled it and ended its rule and so have responsibility for how its recent history has progressed in the same way we do for all our colonies. That doesn't give us any extra rights but it does carry extra responsibilities.

That's an incredibly weird view to have. No one would consider Liverpool and Manchester not to be northern cities at all.

It absolutely is considered the north but the funny thing is that in terms of geography they're only just in the top third of England and solidly in the middle of the landmass including Scotland. There's some sort of point to be made about political and economic power altering perceptions of physical space that when you get any distance away from London you suddenly become Otherised.

While the government is inherently corrupt it is an essential component of any post-COVID scenario and there is a serious global awareness of vaccines - if they end up having a slow and poo poo system then they'll fall behind on being viewed as a 'safe' country which will put them behind any economic recovery and if they start losing thousands of vaccines due to incompetance then the world will be actively pissed at them for wasting something everyone wants and needs.

It's not a law as such. Shareholders have really limited accountability of boards and revolts are rare even if CEOs are openly pouring huge wads of cash into their own pockets to the detriment of shareholders.

Even in a case like this a internal report can be found to say that the goodwill generated from the plan, free advertising from the move and increased penetration into new markets for other products means that this strategy offers sufficient long term returns to make it a sensible option.

Boards can do anything except empower the workforce and they'll get away with it.

Lots of peoples experience of power amounts to 'written documents makes things happen'. Money, tickets, identification, contracts, eviction notices, court orders, etc. All of them just need to exist, be presented to someone and then things get put in motion. Usually they cite laws and authorities that you've never heard of but everyone seems to take as given that they're real and mean the thing you're saying they mean so getting taken in by some legalistic magic words is little different until the actual forces of law get involved.

Well this is just it.

Corbyn right now should be political mist. hosed off back to his allotment, doing staggering things with a marrow etc, party united behind Starmer.

Instead we have a significant chunk of the party devoted to exonerating this guy who is loving hated by large parts of the electorate and they cant loving help themselves from doing so when the wider electorate literally do not give a poo poo. It resembles cult like behaviour at best.

The best thing Starmer could do is split the party so those people insistent on being in the wilderness can do so by themselves - and while im sure im going to get responses of "BUT WHAT ABOUT FPTP!?", what functional difference is there between being in the wilderness because theres a fifth column in the party vs wilderness because youre trying to reform the party? Youre still in the wilderness except at least with the reform you can try and move forward without leading figures, for example, trying to defend themselves against an antisemitism report or sharing a zoom conference with actual fascists/dodgy as gently caress people.

Let's just have a comparison between the immediate consequences following on from the election of Corbyn and Starmer as leaders to demonstrate who's actually interested in a united party shall we?

Corbyn fills half his cabinet with centrists and even some rightwingers. They start leaking immediately, criticising the leadership, legitimizing whatever attack lines the press put out and then all organise a mass resignation purposely designed to force his resignation or lose a leadership contest. That's in addition to the sabotage within the party from their staff.

Starmer puts one Corbynite in a middle ranking position and then kicks her off for a retweet of a newspaper article and suspends Corbyn for holding a line about what the problems in the party really were. The Labour left still urges people to remain members.

I agree splitting would be best but only to escape from the loving vipers called the Labour right.

Anyone else spend a large chunk of today trying to decide what a "Substantial Meal" is and where things fall on the scotch egg food rating system?

Trying to order food in for a pub when you dont know how many people you are going to get in and what you have to serve them is a unique and novel nightmare.

It's stupidly vague. They should be using a definition like 'food served in or on reusable containers' which is still pretty vague but it'd eliminate most pub snacks unless someone is deliberately pouring a packet of crisps into a bowl. Even then it's pretty clearly a case of taking the piss rather than earnestly following the guidance.
