Land of Hope & Glory? - UK Politics and other stuff

Clearly it’s about a lot more than just economics, but

Doesn’t seem to allow for the possibility of Scotland joining the EU in that period.

Missed this a few days back, I’ve long given up on Starmer but this is plumbing some fucking depths.

Labour must make “use of the [union] flag, veterans [and] dressing smartly” as part of a radical rebranding to help it win back the trust of disillusioned voters, according to a leaked internal strategy presentation.

Episode several thousand of, “what do the working class want?” “Fuck knows, but they seem like a bunch of racists, let’s do that!”

These paragraphs are amusing:

In June 2011, Starmer commissioned Rose to examine only the case of the activists who planned to occupy the Ratcliffe power station.

But by the time Rose’s report was published in December 2011, there was growing evidence that the concealment of key evidence in trials of campaigners went beyond the case of the Ratcliffe activists, and could have affected a number of other trials.

Rose concluded that the Ratcliffe case was a one-off. Starmer accepted Rose’s conclusion and said there was no need therefore to examine other prosecutions to see if other activists had been wrongly convicted.

It’s a good trick. Only investigate one allegation, have the report indicate a ‘one off’, and then conclude that means you don’t have to bother with the rest.

Link won’t embed, but lol:

Piers Corbyn arrested but denies antisemitism, saying he was married to ‘Jewess’

Elder brother of former Labour leader questioned on suspicion of malicious communications after Auschwitz anti-vaxx flyers distributed in south London.

Seems a bit unpleasant, but I’d def watch a reality show where Jez and Piers had to live together for a month or something.

Piers & Corbyn has a ring about it, I think your on to something here Flynn… :relaxed:

I know, it’s almost in “I’m not even angry, I’m impressed” territory.

Clive Lewis has usually seemed like a decent guy reasonably clued up and lacking the usual ego needed to become another bad Labour leader.

What’s the word on Kilmarnock?

?
What do you mean.

Wondering if the Kilmarnock attacks were a family dispute gone crazy or something else?

Absolute tragic incident… I haven’t heard anything more than the news reports.

Seems there not looking for anyone else.
