You must not read political threads on ERA very often.Give it a couple of years and we'll start to see people claiming "centrist is a slur!"
If Labour were in power, their options are:
No deal, no referendum
Negotiate a deal, no referendum
Negotiate a deal, referendum
No deal, referendum
Revoke without referendum
Labour have ruled out the first two options, and the fourth is wildly irresponsible. Noone claims to want the 5th so... What does that leave?
Yes, I'm sure the former general secretary of the Labour party is resigning the whip to cover for the Tories.Weird how Labour always gets very Anti-semitc when questions of systemic racism in the Tory party bubble up.
You are probably right, after all why would there be any need to run a whataboutism campaign when the polls weren't reported in any large scale.Yes, I'm sure the former general secretary of the Labour party is resigning the whip to cover for the Tories.

Panorama tomorrow is about Labour and antisemistm which is probably going to be a shitshow. That's why now.
The process is shit and needs improving but it's a process. Corbyn has actually tried to do that in fairness and improved it but it's such a disaster now and there's no trust it needs to be scrapped. Right now 'zero tolerance' doesn't really carry much weight because people that have been accused go through the various levels of the party until they're kicked out, it's not something someone can just decide (unless you're Alastair Campbell). That's happened to 12 people in the last year (another ~60 odd just quit before it got that far) according to the only numbers they've ever given out. I imagine it's worse than that though.Also the fact they still haven't dealt with Williamson.
Surely they have to go full zero tolerance. Even if the reporting isn't particularly helpful they have to navigate this with more authority because it already turns too many people off.
Either they ruled it beyond the scope of the bill, which would make some sense. Or there's concern that they don't have the votes and a defeat on it would be taken as 'MP's OK with proroguation of Parliament.'
Other amendments from Grieve have been selected though, and he's not too concerned apparently.
I don't know enough about the process to know wether this means it's a done deal or if there's more wrangling to come, but it's a very belated step in the right direction
Also just reinforces the death of the dup deal I guess
Yeah, though the article made it sound like they can revoke it if they do re-formThis and the abortion vote that passed mean that unless a new Northern Ireland Executive is formed by 21st October, UK laws on same-sex marriage and abortion apply to Northern Ireland. So that's a good step.

I'm glad it passed. Though it's not a guarantee yet. Watch this be the thing that pushes the DUP to get devolution back just so it doesn't have to go through.
Secretly? Corbyn has been a Brexiter for 30 years and made no secret of it.According to some, Corbyn is a dirty secret ultra brexiteer so it must be op 4. Fuck responsibility and just do a remain/no deal ref, it's obviously, clearly what he wants!!
But seriously, it's op 3. Will be written as such in the manifesto when the snap election happens.
So DUP either forms an executive which will likely be more pro-devolution and unification, or abortion and same-sex marriage become legal in NI. Lose-Lose for them.This and the abortion vote that passed mean that unless a new Northern Ireland Executive is formed by 21st October, UK laws on same-sex marriage and abortion apply to Northern Ireland. So that's a good step.
Think he was wrongly thinking g people would care about detail and not just 'yes we can' spirit. Plainly obvious boris ya no clue and no viable plan but the idiot audience lapping it up.Why would Hunt even do these debates, it is clear Boris has the charisma to take him apart regardless of details, that bit at the break there
'That's the sprit Jeremy'. Cold as fucking ice take down
The only chance Hunt has it to fucking wreck him, he's losing by doing everything he's been doing so far in the campaign.

The number of people who voted against it is terrifying, but I wasn't sure it'd pass (quite legitimately based on the result). So, fortunately it did. The thought of someone unilaterally pushing Britain off a cliff, without a parliamentary majority, or having been elected leader by the general population, well. Yeah. That was a scary thought.
I feel like the UK just got pulled out of a horrible car wreck and we're still waiting to see just how badly injured they are. I've felt like that since 2016.Does it really matter what they say about the UK Ambassador, the US is going to screw us in a trade deal regardless so at least stand up for the UK, you know. Trump might not even be President by the time a deal is done. It's so absurd. Boris is a nightmare, the whole thing is and people are applauding.
The audience is the worse. Hurrah for lying and not answering.
