And the attacks won’t land unless the public already sort of believes them. We saw that with Corbyn. He was smeared from day -1 but it didn’t hurt him until he did something in voters eyes (Skripol/Brexit) that confirmed it. We abstained from spy cops. You can read his reasoning here and why he...

“sheeple” says the guy spouting crap he got off WhatsApp.

I find this comment hilariously ironic. Pratchett has the lefts view of voters down:

Sorry it’s being in the Corbyn thread that confused me. I mean for me (and I didn’t vote Starmer I voted Nandy), he’s ahead in the polls and rebuilding the party image. Your issue seems to be he doesn’t do performative opposition a la Corbyn. I’m not convinced that works, but doesn’t he have a...

I’m not skating you. I’m saying pick your battles. Some old bloke from Islington doesn’t matter. And right now fighting this fight makes the left look even worse. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Yeah the right were shit. And now the left are shit. Both are wrong. The left needs to take reality...

IAPT is self referral I believe. When I used them I never went to my GP (who’s answer to anything is “lose weight and exercise more”) https://www.covwarkpt.nhs.uk/iapt

Yeah I know. I’m just disappointed at the attitude generally. Trying to work out ways round the rules, making ridiculous complaints about minor inconveniences. I guess that makes me harsher towards legitimate grievances.

The Labour project. The progressive project. The make the world a slightly less shit place project. Eyes on the prize. Corbyn doesn’t matter. What matters is finding a way to get progressive left wing policy enacted.

They aren’t the ones throwing a fit because Corbyn was expelled. They need to get over Corbyn and work constructively instead of whining that they lost. Yes members of the right did that too. Not going to say center as the soft left generally went along with Corbyn (he wouldn’t have won the...

I don’t either. But I do think he’s too pig headed to just apologise for what happened on his watch. He wants to win the fight as he sees it the morally correct fight to clear people who were accused unfairly or who say he is antisemitic. The refusal to play politics was a plus for him at the...

Yes. He’s leader of the PLP as well as the Party. And the whip wouldn’t have been automatically reinstated. That’s nonsense being spread by people intentionally misreading the rule book. His expulsion from the party and the removal of the whip are two different things. He needs to appeal his...

Some modelling like “if we have 100% mask compliance we can open sports stadia” “80% and we can only allow 5k in” “50% and they all have to close” or whatever that cleary links the measures with things people want open, even though it doesn’t work exactly like that, would be good. Make it real.

Right call. If the left of the party could hold their shit together for five minutes without shitting the bed it wouldn’t be needed. So depressing watching them step on rake after rake and smack themselves in the face. My kingdom for a serious left wing politician. As much shit as I give BSB...

Saw a poll somewhere showing the difference between those who said they would follow the rules and those who said they broke a rule for any reason in the last two week I think. As you say about 25% for the “would you” but rose to something like 60% for the more accurate “have you”. People are...

Yes I think we’ve kept for example Godden or McCallum on because we don’t have better on the bench. Or what we do have is unfit (Walker). In AM Robins only trusts Shipley and Allen. The likes of Kasta and Bapaga aren’t going to be used for more than a couple of minutes. Only the Reading bench...

Just running this thought up the flagpole as the cunts say. Schools and football snd the like seems especially bad as it’s the same people meeting regularly in large numbers. Too late to figure out the stats but surely that makes contact more likely than more random encounters?

Honestly no idea. This is the internet I just read the headline :D

Fucking hell mate, fair enough when you’re just a normal lad who happens to be black, but going all out to tick boxes with your friends and family. It’s just too much.

This seems far more dangerous than opening pubs.
