There is a good reason for not overlapping rural and urban constituencies as the needs are quite different. Just weighting things more in favour of the south exacerbates the bias already there
Should he stay or should he go now?
If he goes there will be trouble.

But if he stays there will be double.

You’re just setting yourself up for disappointment. Labour don’t sack leaders before they’ve had a GE (or in Corbyns case: 2)
Just a quick reminder..
Actually, they do
Um…. Not sure what reality you’re in where Owen Smith won the leadership.
But the challenge was there and at least the membership had a vote on it. I am sure you would fully back this if it happened again.
I'm in Coventry South and if this is similar to the last time it came up we were going to be bundled into Kenilworth!There is a good reason for not overlapping rural and urban constituencies as the needs are quite different.

It's incredibly cynical and is to bake in the Tories in government for many many years
It will be the right of the party that tries to remove him if anyone does.Yeah and the party rejected it because we don’t sack leaders before a GE no matter how poor they are. As Corbyn showed.
But sure, if you want to see Sultana or Burgon get curb stomped while the party looks like a joke crack on.
Starmers approvals even now are miles ahead of Corbyns in 2016 and Corbyn won at a canter. *Because the party doesn’t sack leaders before a GE*.

Agree about the challenges around rural/urban constituencies. Its a tricky balance between serving the constituency and then MPs forming part of central government. The latter is why I think constituencies should be broadly equal in populations though
Ps last thing any of us want is a more London/south centric government focus. Not sure government do either bearing in mind there’s more left leaning support down there
Sultana and Burgon are the only ones asking the questions I want asking and looking like they give a shit. Not to say I want either as leader just I want to see more of that from the incumbent
This is 2016 all over again. He may be shite (I actually think he’s doing OK considering, but still) but until you’ve got someone better all you do by attacking him is strengthen him. Burgon and Sultana are the Owen Smiths of the left.
The left clearly hasn’t learned shit from the last five years which is incredibly frustrating.

Thought they were keen on Universities being able to do whatever they liked. Or does that only apply when its certain types of event being cancelled?I see that the Daily Heil and Express are losing their shit because Oxford students elected to take down a portrait of the queen from their common room. The only countries I’ve been where it’s mandatory to display an image of the head of state are tin pot dictatorships.

Surely you’re not accusing the Daily Heil of hypocrisy in pursuit of a culture war are you?Thought they were keen on Universities being able to do whatever they liked. Or does that only apply when its certain types of event being cancelled?

When you find yourself outraged at teenagers interior design decisions it’s probably time for a sit down and a cup of tea.
It was awarded by Gove i think to Cummings palSo the ones awarded to Hancock's friends/family, Patel's and every other Tory MP are fine. But Cummings not.
Hmm...
Fascism would insist that they display a picture of the head of state. This is the complete opposite of that. This is an act of freedom being carried out by a consensus. Or democracy as it’s also known.I don't think it is just that which is the issue. It's that it starts from there and then snowballs further.
I think it is incredible that those type of people go on about 'the stirrings of fascism', yet what they end up doing is usually just that any way.

It’s funny how elements of the press are reporting it when the people who took the case to work put Gove and No. 10 at front and centre.So the ones awarded to Hancock's friends/family, Patel's and every other Tory MP are fine. But Cummings not.
