Right now you could even call the UK's vaccine programme 'world beating'

ANYTHING YOU SOW posted:In case it wasn't obvious, here we have the rationale behind Sir Kier's brilliant tactics: There is going to be a certain schadenfreude in watching Johnson coming out of the crisis smelling of roses because after a year of collossal fuckups he got one thing right whilst Keith drowns ineptly still trying to tune the dial to exactly the right frequency of spineless reactionary appeasement to break through to middle england

namesake posted:The Labour left need to regenerate around a post-Corbyn idea which has the same appeals without the bitterness of its end, maintain that concept through all the internal lower organ elections and policy votes winning on the idea, then agree a PM candidate which represents that idea best, then convince enough MPs that the candidate/ideology is better than Starmer, then convince the membership of that as well. It's an incredibly long term project. I honestly think the Labour Left are too meek and accommodating to ever take control of the party, any attempt to reformulate a new popular left movement just seems like a waste of everyone's time if they're not willing to be as ruthless and pragmatic as the Right to marginalise their internal opponents and actually enact their agenda. And even now very few of them seem to have grasped what a pointless ordeal trying to thread the needle on antisemitism was, which doesn't inspire any confidence that they're going to be less credulous marks the next time it becomes the UK's media number one priority to discredit a left-wing politician again

If he'd stayed put for even another month he'd have had the jab too. Just a remarkably brass necked move from his family right on the eve of the mass vacination programme
