Gyro Zeppeli posted:My struggle with vegetarian is how much I miss all the cheap shite. The last meat product I ate six and a bit years ago was a peperami, a few days after the birth of my daughter when I was sleep deprived and strung out and ran to the shop for something or other. Saw a peperami, bought it, ate it on the way home and felt very ashamed. Otherwise been vegetarian or vegan since about six months prior to that.

Voted TUSC where available (one council candidate out of three) and also for an Independent who dropped a leaflet round focussing mainly on public transport and cycle paths, and one Labour candidate who is actually good. Also Lib Dem for PCC because they're married to a friend of mine and it's a bullshit position anyway so who cares? It's weird being politically homeless.

Azza Bamboo posted:The momentum in Europe is toward green parties coming out of nowhere. It might be that we could get our entryism in now and seize the green apparatus. It's not a certain bet; there are no certain bets. With the Labour party turbo hosed, though, there's votes and political loyalties not being used that might as well be spent on a punt like this. Both would be ideal. SCG + Greens with union support. Sitting MPs and councillors, solid ground game, decent finances. Shame the SCG are such making GBS threads loyal cowards.

Poor old Kieth. Every time he gets the cabinet together for a big old discussion about policy he locks eyes with Jenny Chapman across the room and has to send the rest of them outside while the two of them go at it on the big table like rutting hogs. No wonder he's not got anything done in the past year.

After the bloodstained corpse of the last one has been dragged off, you need a human dishcloth to swab away the bloodstains. Are you saying Starmer is the David Moyes of politics?

serious gaylord posted:There are 4 jobs higher in seniority to 'Party chair' available to Kier. Shadow Home Sec/Chancellor/Foreign office and Leader of the Opposition. So hes basically got to Sack Dodds, Nandy or Symonds. Any of those will result in a leadership challenge imo. Depends how you figure it, I suppose. Wikipedia's "Ministerial ranking" page has Amanda Milling (Chair of the Conservative Party) as the lowest-ranking cabinet minister. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministerial_ranking#Current_ministerial_ranking

jabby posted:The main thing that annoys me is that while the soft left have Rayner and Burnham to choose from there's nobody from the proper left that seems like a leader in waiting. Or even being groomed for the job. And that lack of planning is why RLB crashed and burned. Burgon is making some noises but I don't see him getting the gig. Sultana is too young/inexperienced/ethnic/female. Trickett also seems keen and fits the "anonymous backbencher for decades" Corbyn mould but eeehhhh. Clive Lewis still feels the most realistic shot right now. SCG member, journalism and TA background for "real world" credibility and connections, vocal supporter of working with other parties to oust the Tories and bring in PR which is of debatable merit but certainly a popular idea. Represents a non-London constituency.

That very funny poll which shows Bristol West going Green would also see Yvette Cooper and Rosie Duffield losing their seats. Unfortunately Zarah Sultana would also be booted out, along with Jon Trickett, Ian Lavery and Ed Miliband. https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/blogs/ec_mrppoll_20210517.html
