jabby posted:What they are saying publicly and in print won't be what they are actually thinking. I think these results are considerably worse than what everyone in charge of Labour was expecting, and it will seriously damage the authority of Starmer, his team, and people like Mandelson who advised him. It'll help disillusion some in Labour who might have genuinely thought Starmer's brand of weak centrism was a path back to power, and hopefully start the long process of re-energising the few remaining socialists. The successes of Labour in Wales and Preston will help with that. I endorse this analysis and share this hope. I fear Mandy will be around for a good while yet though, he seems like a typical middle management bully and simply put I don't think my of the centrists have the personality to face him down.

Azza Bamboo posted:That footballers earn so much is an outcome of the commodification of human labour. In the highly competitive world of football, only a rare kind of human can produce top quality ticket sales and merchandise sales. Their scarcity, combined with the glut of teams that would want them, causes a bidding war. I thought Perez was hilarious during the ESL stuff assertig that players' quality would drop if wages did. As if world class footballers would all go and work at MacDonalds if they could only earn £1 million a year playing for Real. What he means of course is that his shareholders wouldn't be pleased if Real were competing in a fairer market, or you know, not spending tens of millions they don't have.

jabby posted:I assumed that once a leadership challenge was launched, it triggered an election and you could then field more candidates based on the usual rules for joining the election. I could be wrong but I don't think it's a special type of election just because it started from a challenge rather than a vacancy. There is a higher bar to get on the ballot in a challenge, you need more MPs behind you. Can't ever the numbers.
