feedmegin posted:Our HR have been increasingly panickingly telling us all TAKE SOME LEAVE because they're worried the entire company will basically take a month off simultaneously at the end of the financial year and that doesn't work very well apparently We had 1/366 of our annual leave entitlement deducted for each day we spent on furlough, and also the carry-over limit has been extended from 1 week to 20 days which has at the very least kicked the can down the road a bit.

The good chip shop still insists on cash only but they do have a person just working the till and taking orders with zero contact with the food so it's probably not as bad as it could be.

forkboy84 posted:Anyway, Jeremy Corbyn sucks. All these old Labour heads who care more about their stupid worthless party than actually working towards anything can get in the bin, I'm very done with them. That's true but I'm yet to see a realistic parliamentary alternative materialise. I quit the party some months ago but seeing the various fights going on against Starmer/Evans and the 100+ CLPs that have passed votes on that basis I'm wondering if we might be giving up too soon. Obviously it depends on your local party but if there are winnable fights to be had around getting decent candidates for the next elections etc. then those might be fights worth having. I dunno, really. At the moment I'm just angry and directionless, at least within the Labour Party I might get to shout at some centrists every now and then.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Some CLPs are standing up to it, but for example I saw a former comrade last week who told me that the local CLP all member meeting held a couple of weeks ago had a regional official (presumably paid and not elected) in attendance and free use was made of the 'mute' buttons to stop people speaking (in terms of cutting them off mid-sentence, not muting to hide the sounds of crisps being munched). Heard the same from my CLP (we've got a FB group for current/former LP members of a socialist leaning.) Trying to gauge the balance of power to see if it's worth being part of or not in the short/medium term. Time and money are both pretty limited for me so I'm only interested in playing the game if I have a reasonable chance to win!

The devil is in the detail, though. From what I've heard my constituency is losing a fairly staunch red town and gaining a smaller, bluer one, making our swing seat less swingy and having basically no effect on the Tory as gently caress constituencies around us.

Seems wierd to be even paying attention to such trifles don't you have a far more effective extra-electoral mass movement to be posting about? No I'm a "the Labour Party is full of shitheads who I don't want to give money to but I don't really know what else to do so I'd like it to get better please" type as evidenced by my posting some 24 hours ago. sebzilla posted:That's true but I'm yet to see a realistic parliamentary alternative materialise.

So, 250 people per day leaving the Labour Party (net) not including people.whove just stopped paying but not officially left. Are we expecting the latter number to be smaller or larger than "official" leavers? Because 2021 is going to be a bloodbath if it's bigger.

I'm thinking tomorrow I'll try and bring them to the inside of the doors though the weather has been predicted to be a lot drier over the next couple of weeks so maybe won't need to. Yeah Cheltenham is in bad shape apparently. Doing ok in Stroud so far but it's still pissing it down so we'll see.

Bobby Deluxe posted:All of the alternatives to Starmer are essentially a move from 'i am mot going to oppose Boris' to 'actually, here is why what Boris is doing is good for the economy.' McDonnell won't do it, he's old and far too tied to the Corbyn years to be a success in a wider context. Gotta be Sultana or Burgon or some other angry young(ish) left voice.
