So, I wonder what sort of (untraceable) phone calls were made between people at No.10 & Rachel Reeves letting agents, to encourage them to blame some who has now left their firm for the licensing mistake on Reeves family home rental?
Call me cynical but there seems to be a world of difference to how Angela Rayner's troubles were 'dealt' with & how Reeves have played out; it almost like the no.10 goons wanted rid of Rayner, but have been more forthright in protecting Reeves?

The image shows two people, each holding a mobile phone to their ear, appearing to be engaged in a phone call. On the left is a person with light brown skin, dark hair, and wearing a light blue shirt with darker blue stripes across the chest. On the right is a person with tan skin, long dark hair, and wearing a yellow shirt over a dark blue collar. A large, round, golden pendant hangs on a cord around their neck. Both people have a concerned expression on their faces, and the background appears to be a blurred indoor setting with pale walls.

I try my best to inform, but every so often —as is the case this night — I need to take a fucking break. So yeah, I’m gonna watch some bullshit movies — no idea what, tho if you have recommendations, please leave them below.
I like horror (with great metaphor), I like comedy, I like satire, I like sci-fi.
Definitely do not leave romantic comedy recs here cause 🖕🏻.
For reference, best movie I ever saw with my hero my dad was Close Encounters Of The Third Kind.

Soweit ich das überblicke, ist die neue Kampagne @pruef_de
von @nicosemsrott die erste¹ große politische Kampagne ist, die von Beginn an zentral auf das #Fediverse setzt.
Ich denke, das ist ein wichtiger Meilenstein für den politischen Diskurs. 👍
Inhaltlich geht es bei #pruef übrigens um die sehr nachvollziehbare und anschlussfähige Forderung, alle vom Verfassungsschutz als rechtsextrem eingestuften Parteien dem Bundesverfassungsgericht zur Prüfung vorzulegen.
¹#SaveSocial zähle ich hier nicht mit weil das eine Digital-Only Kampagne ist.

One of my big problems with "anti-doomerism" is the peddling of hope. Hope for what? What inspires hope in you? Hope requires action. Hope is not a god that will magically right every wrong in the world if you simply believe in it hard enough. If your hope is nothing but a vague faith in human nature or the belief that you, personally, will survive this, then that hope is nothing but an empty justification for going along with fascism.
We live in times that warrant despair. Everything is crushingly, overwhelmingly awful. We are watching the rise of fascism, and we are not prepared to stop it. In fact, I would go so far as to say that despair is *good*. We need people to understand the hideousness of capitalism and how dangerous the present moment is. I would argue that it is only in the pits of despair that most people will be willing to stop clinging to the comfort of capitalism and hope for something better.
But until we are at that point, and until we have something tangible that we can look to and know that we will build - and more importantly, know is *worth* building - our hope is less than worthless. It is an excuse to do nothing. Figure out your end goals and mobilize to achieve them, and actual, revolutionary hope will follow.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •"I take full responsibility."
And then ... ?
Profit!
MidgePhoto
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I do think that if you have just been appointed the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the incoming government you might be a little busy.
And if it is the leftover chaos of the previous gov, very busy.
So saying to agents "Let my house!" and leaving them to it should work. If it doesn't it probably isn't a deliberate decision to omit getting a licence and avoid paying a bit more than pocket change, but a business expense.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to MidgePhoto • • •@Photo55
I think its more the difference in treatment (by Starmer's team) between Rayner & Reeves that is the issue here....
HeatherMJ
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I can quite accept that the Reeves were happy to let the agents deal with the licence, but they ought to have been aware that they needed to pay a £900+ fee

Its an interesting Q.; but there will increasingly (in the face of a prospective election 'problem') be a fight for the rudder of an already listless Labour Party?
Wen
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Isabel Ruffell
in reply to Wen • • •@Wen @patrickhadfield @Photo55
The problem with #Labour is not the lack of a rudder, which will need to be prised from Starmer's hands) but the lack of a (moral or political) compass, and apparently any charts or basic navigation skills. The massive leeway to starboard requires an urgent course correction if HMG Britannia is not to strike the treacherous reef of fascism.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to Isabel Ruffell • • •@iaruffell @Wen @patrickhadfield @Photo55
Yes, this sailing/boating metaphor is capturing a lot of the problem(s) with Labour rather clearly....
Wen

in reply to Wen • • •@Wen @iaruffell @Photo55 had anyone used "running aground" yet?
Also "the party/the economy/the electorate/the nation [delete as appropriate] is a supertanker and hard to change direction..."

Arr. Has anyone riffed on the mutiny theme yet? I thought I was overdosing enough on Patrick O'Brian as it was. Or possibly Captain Pugwash.

I disclaim any basis for this, except that she seems significantly at odds with the current crowd: I nominate Stella Creasy.

in reply to MidgePhoto • • •@Photo55
If she does, which like you I'd like to see, she will need to be clear about where her support lies... she shouldn't trust the Starmerites
Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦
in reply to MidgePhoto • • •@Photo55 I am perfectly willing to believe that Reeves's failure to get a license was not a deliberate decision, but a mistake made in good faith.
But Rayner's failure to pay the correct stamp duty was also not a deliberate decision, but a mistake made in good faith.
So why the different treatment?
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦 • • •@statsguy @Photo55
and therein lies the (political) question.... far be it for me to raise the issue of class
Marcus The Board Gamer
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •They wanted Rayner gone. So they found the excuse to do so. They don’t want Reeves gone so they find excuses to not.
In this case the stooge was conveniently a former employee. Easy to blame a cog in the machine.
You wonder why the common person has no trust in politicians, right?
