Truckers was definitely on YouTube a few years ago. I watched in a fit of nostalgia for the copies recorded off the telly onto VHS at my grandparents house (with one episode missing.)

So, this £150 rebate coming in via council tax bills, (a) will those getting single persons' discount have 25% less rebate and (b) does this mean local authorities/councils will get £150 less per council tax bill so even less money to provide services?

(Not expecting posters to know the answers, but given the Goonipedia of this place, maybe!)

B is almost certain to be the case.

No idea about A, sorry.

If he wanted to, could Starmer press libel charges?

Doubt it. Stamer did not prosecute Savile while DPP, and has previously apologised for it.

Nothing Johnson has said is technically false afaik.

e:Subsequently, in 2013, Starmer commissioned barrister Alison Levitt to investigate whether or not the CPS had been right not to charge Savile in 2009. She concluded that she had “reservations” about the decision not to proceed with criminal charges.

“On the face of it, the allegations made were both serious and credible; the prosecutor should have recognised this and sought to “build” a prosecution,” she said.

Sir Keir accepted Alison Levitt’s conclusions and apologised for the CPS’ “shortcomings” in the Savile case.

Needs a seat first, so the calculation is whether Starmer will step down or not. Not a particularly good look to be trying to punt someone out of a safe seat and fight a quick by-election immediately after a General Election just so you can run for Leader.

He should proscribe the organisation and then remove everyone who has ever been associated with them by, for example, attending a march organised by them.

Hello, a quick request.

Talking to someone who took Starmer's leadership pitch at face value and trying to point to reasons why they in fact *could* have known he was a slippery weasel back in 2020. I seem to remember Sienna Rodgers of LabourList saying something at the time about him being a politician without any political beliefs, but can't track it down. Would appreciate the help if anyone else remembers it and can find it!

Have already covered his part in the 2016 coup and the fatal 2019 Brexit policy.

Reporting her comments on a Novara podcast.

More broadly, there were people ITT pointing out that, aside from joining dots on his voting record, whenever he espoused his left-wing credentials they were always qualified - "I am a socialist but it has to be the practical, sensible sort of socialism." (a paraphrase). Plus the whole 'is anyone who has a knighthood and was DPP really going to deliver change, let alone radical change, from within the political establishment?' thing.

That's exactly the one, thanks!

When you're so #FBPE that the one UK democratic result of the last 10 years you'd change isn't actually that one.

And half the replies are for David Miliband over Ed.

Not sure if I'd go for a Labour win in 2017 but Corbs has to do Brexit or a Remain win in 2016 meaning no backbench poo poo fit and a Brexitless election against Osborne or whoever where anti-austerity would hopefully win out.

I enjoyed this line from that Guardian article, after several sentences explaining how Putin is not Hitler and Ukraine is not Czechoslovakia:

Since it just as easily applies to every Tory in Parliament and the half of the British population that thinks there's basically still an Empire, really, we're just letting the Indians have it a bit their own way for now.

Anyone who wants their country to be bigger is literally Hitler, unless that country is Israel.
