Trying very hard not to point out that if *someone* hadn’t decimated the PLP there might be a point to voting against the government other than handing them free PR about “Labour voting for immigrants” or “Labour voting with the EU” or “Labour voting against the armed forces”
143 deaths today. Not exactly weakening...
That aside I was about to edit my post and say that Starmer’s conference was good and what I wanted to see (apart from the bit about exempting schools which is daft)
That’s what I thought was odd. They’ve already got a week off - so tag a week or two on at an end. We’re all set up to go on learning if we need to.Really? him as well?!? All or nothing man, all or nothing!
I thought he wanted to do it around half term? (tbf, that's now!)
Depends what the MO is from the Gov'ts end, politically the look of Labour councils mayor's resisting measures etc or Kier trashing the economy ?Starmer calls for circuit breaker national lock down.
That's the last we'll hear of that like everything else he occasionally pipes up about.

Making the crisis political will definitely be one line no doubt.Depends what the MO is from the Gov'ts end, politically the look of Labour councils mayor's resisting measures etc or Kier trashing the economy ?
I thought that was the suggestion.That’s what I thought was odd. They’ve already got a week off - so tag a week or two on at an end. We’re all set up to go on learning if we need to.
From Starmer? It seemed to suggest he would make schools exempt. Happy to be corrected if I misunderstood.I thought that was the suggestion.
Oh sorry I thought he was saying 2 week circuit breaker over half term and tac on an extra week. That might just be my thinking, seems to make sense.From Starmer? It seemed to suggest he would make schools exempt. Happy to be corrected if I misunderstood.
Trying very hard not to respond with if *someone* hadn’t championed a policy that was going to flatten 50+ leave seats, giving free PR to the Tories like ‘Labour don’t respect democracy’

That would make total sense, I just got the impression it was have a week off and then pop back as normal, whilst the rest of the universe is closed.Oh sorry I thought he was saying 2 week circuit breaker over half term and tac on an extra week. That might just be my thinking, seems to make sense.
Touché on that point
I didn’t catch Starmers conference. I agree we need more policy, but the constant refrain from the left of the party that we should be doing great protest votes at every opportunity bothers me.
That said, I see Starmer got his first negative approval rating today, so maybe something for a change of tack.

I’m gonna say 143....How many of those as a direct result of covid?
He oozes Ed Miliband vibes IMO but without the lisp
You'll be in for revision.I’m gonna say 143....
How many of those as a direct result of covid?
142 were ran over by buses so they put Covid on the death certificates for a laugh.How many of those as a direct result of covid?
How many of those as a direct result of covid?
Really hope this isn't an attempt at denying the severity of the current situation? Especially given the fact the excess deaths for this year point to the actual figures being higher than reported...
Don't the number of covid deaths generally go up from those reported daily to when the ONS publishes full death stats including all deaths with causes?I’m gonna say 143....
Who would you pick.Whilst I dont disagree with what Starmer has said there is not a cat in hells chance of Labour winning the next election with him.
This is obviously a very small sample size but my 72 year old Mum, who has voted Conservative all her life, was raving about Andy Burnham a couple of days ago.Who would you pick.

I think most of the Labour MPs have been rejected by people who vote Labour.
It seems very few people now have anything to do with political parties. The MPs have brought about their own demise with the policies they have forwarded over the last twenty or thirty years.
I think it is getting to a point now where we need to move from representational democracy to direct democracy.
