The BBC are having a week in Stoke trying to get in touch with Ordinary People and their Stories, with some kind of ‘pod’ where the Ordinary People can talk about themselves. It is SO CRINGE, especially the presenter who claims to be from the area but is a customer service chatbot in human form.

Anyhow, over at Labour conference it seems the immigration/FoM resolution has disappeared off today’s agenda and people are rightly very fucked off.

Genuinely thrilled that someone’s big political idea in 2019 is linking up with Eric Pickles and going to bat for the idea that Republicanism is a dangerous step towards the abyss.

Would be very interested to see where the money is coming from for this.

also if they're fighting extremism wherever they find it why is every item on their news page about Labour? i mean for fuck's sake if you haven't even got the brains to put on a fig leaf

to go back to ed's post -

If workers have the ability to sell their skills to the highest bidder (even if only some take up the opportunity) it raises pay and condition.

this freedom exists and has not raised pay and conditions

"Party supporters want Corbyn to go"

"Labour members want to sack the Queen, scrap Trident, and launch general strike – poll"

It's a good thing Corbyn is there as a cap on this needless mouth-watering extremism, hey?

Ok I read “justiciable” and not having gone to fancy lawyer school thought “that’s that” and closed the app in a gloom (between this & conference bullshit upthread). But wow, what a mess! You truly do love to see it.

Supreme Court smacks down government unanimously.

"quite exceptional circumstances" of leaving EU on 31 October.

Parliament "has a right to a voice on how that change comes about"

"No justification with taking action with such an extreme effect has been put before the court"

Supreme court rules Boris Johnson's prorogation was 'unlawful' :D

Boris' record as PM takes some beating tbh.

Let them eat Pfifferlinge an Schneckensauce (Tom D.), Tuesday, 24 September 2019 09:52 (four years ago) link

In 1975, Plaid Cymru campaigned against the EC, arguing that an overreliance on EU aid simply confirmed Wales’ position as a dependent periphery, and that regional aid policies were simply designed to reconcile places like Wales to their subordinate position and to open up Wales to foreign capital.

In 2016, many nationalists interpreted the leave vote as representing an existential threat to Wales itself, similar to the trauma of the failed 1979 referendum vote. In response, Plaid have now transformed into an ultra remainer party, even calling for article 50 to be revoked. Indeed, their old socialist leader, Leanne Wood, was deposed last year, allegedly for her principled stance that Plaid Cymru in Westminster should not collaborate with pro remain Tories.

Plaid’s strategy is somewhat bizarre given that poll after poll suggests that significant numbers of Plaid Cymru voters voted to leave. Plaid’s cognitive dissonance over the EU’s silence in the face of Spanish repression of their Catalan allies is a sight to behold, and they similarly stubbornly refuse to engage with those who point to the treatment of the peripheral states by the EU- clear evidence that the same fate would undoubtedly await an independent Wales within the EU.

Boris' record as PM takes some beating tbh.

it's Boris Johnson's two month anniversary as prime minister today and in that time he's lost six parliamentary votes in six days, reduced his majority from 1 to minus 43, and has now had the highest court in the land declare his tantrum illegal. what an inspiration
