Burgon's just a bit of a gurner, big adult son vibes, you know. Politically he's bang on the money and yeah, good music too. Probably been the most vocal "zero covid strategy" voice in the PLP for the past while. Definitely one for a big cabinet role in future but can't quite see him as leader.

Female leader would be great but I'm not sure who. RLB ain't it. Too soon for Sultana. Butler would be good but last place in the deputy election last year doesn't make me hopeful.

It's Clive for me, Clive.

So is negative interest a good or bad time to buy a house, if you can?

If you're buying a house to live in you should do it when you can and not worry about gaming the system.

If you're buying to let, please step this way for blindfold fitting.

Being furloughed for three months last year made me really, really look forward to being retired. Unfortunately the chances of me doing so a day earlier than the state pension age aren't high, unless something dramatic happens.

e: 50 times two is 100, which is the % chance of Jeremy Corbyn never having the whip reinstated.

I made that choice last October; furlough ended then took voluntary redundancy at 52, i had done enough.

The shifts were slowly killing me and i had no life so now i get to stretch out my £165k till retirement in 14 years time.

I think i'm starting to enjoy my life. :)

p.s. Own my home, no debt, no dependants & N.I. is a fairly cheap place to live, it all depends on circumstances.

Sounds amazing. A little harder to pull off at 31 with a mortgage and a five-year-old in the Cotswolds!

I mean technically neither is monster munch.

Someone with the time and skills (so not me) needs to make a good/evil grid for crisp evaluation. I would suggest monster munch as chaotic good!

One axis is what they're made of (potato, other carbs, anything) and the other is shape maybe? Sliced approximate circle is traditional, semi-regular mouth sized snack shape is neutral, other is radical.

Monster munch are ingredient neutral, shape neutral.

Shepherd's pie is ingredient traditional, shape radical.

A £2 coin is ingredient radical, shape traditional.

The lab right are gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel left with worse candidates than kieth and were left with worse candidates than RLB.

Also we lost twice in a row so Keith gets another go after losing in 2024

I generally agree about lemon and sugar, but homemade jam (Corb-style) also ranks highly.

Only remembered after I'd already made toast for breakfast, so we'll be having pancakes for pudding tonight. Maybe savoury pancakes for dinner? Hmmmm

So, Corbyn's three month suspension is up this week (tomorrow?) but it's probably just going to be extended, right?

Isn't the whole thing a load of shite given that the EHRC Report itself specifically protects the right to express opinion on the scale of antisemitism in Labour? I don't see why Corbyn isn't going down that route for his legal challenge, instead of the "private agreement" with Starmer.
