Oh no!

Anyway...

Perhaps I should have said 'categorically' instead of 'definitively', but they are synonyms so...

Corbyn was absolutely shit smeared by the press; if you get people to look at Corbyn's Labour policies in isolation, I reckon you'd be hard pressed to find someone that disliked them.

I wonder why privately held media would do this...

Was he not very popular in his constituency though?

Was disappointing to see so much pussyfooting and backpedalling on stuff like this from Labour over the past 18 months.

I'll be over the damned moon if they put some strong climate positive policies in the manifesto.

Is it too much to hope for electoral reform too?

IIRC, the only definitive way to ID mushrooms is by making a spore print - and even then you need to know what you're doing.

Just doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

Pugilistic - TIL a new word!

No worries. What I'd give to shoot the person that came up with the FPTP voting system...

I feel like you took my comment to be a critique of the EU's position, which is not what I was trying to say at all.

I presume that such an agreement would be in the EUs interest - hence the expression of such. Public clarification at this stage of the 'cost'- as you put it - is a great way to take it off the official policy booklet. Which doesn't make sense to me.

I am aware that UK politics is stupid. I live here.

If the move would be of interest to the EU, then unless they are completely politically inept, can these officials not see how saying it would require ECJ oversight before an election risks it being eliminated from Labour policy?

It gives a free attack point for the Tories and couldn't be a bigger face palm - for anyone actually interested in it, of course.

I love just how simple yet captivating the Grim/Black Dog is. It isn't even necessarily aggressive, but just the mere sighting of it elicits dread and heralds doom.
