    George Floyd

    Isn’t the point that it is planned, the organisation has asked to protest in advance so that the police can appropriately supervise, so ad-hoc counter ones are banned so not to overwhelm services?

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    I liked Pidcock because she was direct when answering questions and wasn’t afraid to give back to interviewers that were trying to lead conversations somewhere else or misrepresent her. A lot of Labour MP’s would fare better in interviews if they didn’t always come across as starting from the...

    Had Pidcock not lost her seat it would have been her on the ballot for leadership instead of RLB.

    I do because this is where all the ideas have come from. If the right of the party had spent the last 5 years bringing good ideas to the table instead of sabotaging and writing shitty Guardian bitch pieces then we may have been in a different place. What have they brought to the table since...

    That would be a start - someone with experience of the area. There will still be numerous civil servants in the department but I feel it would help.

    I’d actually like to see someone with educational experience in one of these roles. And when I say experience I don’t mean ‘went to private school’ Not sure there is anyone in Labour that fits that remit.

    I wonder how Dom will feel when Boris gets shunted out holding the can for Cov-ID and replaced by Gove.

    ‘For the many not the few’ worked well for a Labour in 2017. Boris’ ‘Get Brexit done’ was even better in 2019.

    I think they are all fair and reasonable points, and I also feel that can easily co-exist with some socialist policies that are generally popular with the public. What concerns me (and I guess I am also soul-searching politically too) is that your suggestions only seem to go in hand with an...

    Scotland is gone now for Labour - best case is they could take the seats not held by the SNP currently but that’s a real stretch.

    Rebecca Long-Bailey sacked

    This is a fair assessment. There’s little evidence of success for political parties when they fail to take a stand on something this big and not be decisive in that stand.

    The Jewish community can’t even decide between them which voice ‘represents’ them. The BoD have claimed that position but it’s far from agreed.

    The same red wall that just 2 years before had not only held but in some seats started to re-strengthen. Brexit was the overriding issue - out of the 56 seats lost - 52 were leave constituencies. Even the other 4 - 2 were lost because the Remain vote was split between with the Tories coming...

    Bit warm

    There are a few places like that down there. My mum lives in St Mawgan next to the airport and as you head from there towards Newquay there’s some cracking beaches and pubs without having to go anywhere near.

    But you could see it coming a mile off after its success on Corbyn. Sanders responded the way Corbyn should have. He had 40 years of prominent anti-racist campaigning behind him. Not calling it out as bullshit allowed the narrative to be built and embed.
