https://twitter.com/wesstreeting/status/1345072318981271553?s=20 ummmm still not calling for schools to be closed are you, wes, but at least you've stopped actively calling for them to be open like you were just days ago the real issue here is the dither and delay (with regard to making a decision we opposed until you made it)

no ifs no buts was in the summer, but e.g. starmer insisted that schools should stay open during the November lockdown https://twitter.com/lisanandy/status/1322839946214989825?s=20 and Nandy insisting schools should open in January happened after the new strain had been announced https://twitter.com/LabourList/status/1340975305624854535?s=20 it is absolutely ok to say "schools should be the last thing to shut, and the first things to open", but even now they can't bring themselves to actually back the teachers unions and call for all schools to stay closed, they are merely attacking the Tories for confusion and delay because they're too loving cowardly to say "hmmm actually it's clearly not safe to reopen any school at the moment" it's just ridiculous disingenuous poo poo

it is a weird coincidence that the coronavirus cases were about 1000 a day all summer and then suddenly started accelerating around September the 1st, but I presume this is unrelated to anything that might have happened around that date

opposition attack politics isn't what he should be doing, he should be advocating loudly and constantly for the right thing ironically, his insistence on not doing "opposition for opposition's sake" i.e. basically never contradicting the government until it's way too late, is exactly the kind of stupid political game playing he is ostensibly trying to avoid like loving "abstaining in the national interest" on the loving tiers system! you have votes in parliament, at least loving try demanding some concrete thing you think would be better rather than just going "well I don't agree with the legislation but it's better than nothing so I won't vote for or against" https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1333515798091063297?s=20 especially ironic given he then voted for a trade deal he didn't support "in the national interest" he's just a stupid inconsistent prick, at least if he was a smooth political operator it might be slightly easier to accept him being such a right wing twat

don't worry we have a plan https://mobile.twitter.com/LizzyBuchan/status/1345666417396506625?s=20 ok so they miss half of asymptomatic cases, but on the bright side there'll be so many cases that they're bound to find some of them

jiggerypokery posted:Has anyone got any footage of him actually saying "we should keep schools open" in the last week or so? he said on Sunday afternoon that he "didn't want to add to the chaos that would be caused by having all schools closed tomorrow", which is a roundabout way of saying schools should stay open https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr0sQwkVdAs tbf he did say that school closures were inevitable, although if they're inevitable it seems a bit shortsighted not to demand that they happen as soon as possible, so that doesn't win you many points. especially when you turn around to demanding immediate school closures 24 hours later (after it was briefed that schools would be closing) also you lose more points for saying it's too short notice to close schools when people have been talking about it for a week and you've deliberately waited until Sunday afternoon to make a statement I'll see if I can find some earlier statements but he was pretty much silent on the issue beforehand iirc

Lungboy posted:I think his shadow education person said they must stay open but need to close but must stay open. yeah, yesterday morning lol https://twitter.com/KateGreenSU/status/1346031723528806402?s=20 although it's really just waffling bullshit about how "we want kids to be in school, the right place to be is in school" which could be read as more aspirational about the way things ought to be ideally than an actual position on how things need to be right now but that waffling bullshit is half the problem, and they very pointedly did not back teachers and call for school closures, choosing instead to harp on about chaos and confusion caused by the government's policy (a fair point, but maybe explicitly outline the only actual alternative?) but yeah, they specifically refer to school closures "as already happening, and more are inevitable" rather than "something that needs to happen nationally and immediately" from Sunday afternoon up until the government briefed it had changed its mind, all while complaining about the government's chaotic indecisiveness

it should be illegal to go for a walk in the woods because you might enjoy it too much all outdoor exercise should be strictly limited to industrial estates in the cold and wet, preferably at night, in order to prevent anyone lapsing into dangerous "recreation"

Mr Owl posted:Then you get into the territory of "my understanding of science versus the government's response" and having to decide which rules apply or not which sure seems like what the people causing this surge seem to be doing... Stupid quandaries the people causing this surge are the government, by forcing people into workplaces, public transport and schools (plus all their fuckups with schools and tiers/"lockdowns" towards the end of last year) the rules are stupid and inconsistent, and even the loving government can't be arsed doing the bare minimum effort to pretend that's not the case https://twitter.com/PippaCrerar/status/1348617565552185346?s=19 It would honestly be fine if they were a bit arbitrary and more heavily enforced, as long as they were clearly explained and sufficient to suppress the virus. But telling people they can't take a coffee with them when they're walking or drive to a park that they'd be allowed to walk to, when you're also saying that everyone who can't reasonably work from home should go to work, is just pissing in the wind

Hell to the yeah. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/11/labour-facing-another-split-over-police-immunity-in-spy-cops-bill I think you'll find she's just trying to cause trouble by not abstaining on this piece of poo poo bill quote:Labour sources complained that Chakrabarti was trying to inflame internal divisions between the Corbyn and Starmer supporting wings of the party. One said there had been “no real attempt” to engage with the party leadership on the issue. where the party leadership at is quote:Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, had called on the party to abstain over the bill, arguing that statutory regulation of undercover operatives would have been necessary if the party had been in power, after the government only narrowly won a court case over the issue. hey we'd do something just as poo poo so it's fine! they've proposed some obviously doomed amendments apparently, but given Keith's MO I can't see them going back to amend it if he ever did win power XMNN fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Jan 15, 2021 |

Jakabite posted:I don't think that stat about people being readmitted then dying means that we're underreporting deaths. It's within 28 days of a positive test, not within 28 days of their first positive test. Presumably these people are being re-tested on re-admission. It is actually the first positive test https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths quote:Number of deaths of people who had had a positive test result for COVID-19 and died within 28 days of the first positive test. Data from the four nations are not directly comparable as methodologies and inclusion criteria vary. Data for the period ending 5 days before the date when the website was last updated with data for the selected area, highlighted in grey, is incomplete. no indication whether they would start counting again on readmission, but they don't mention it and that would make the numbers go up so my guess would be no
