Re: Today’s high noon for Andy Burnham (well 5pm) – politicalbetting.com
I am on a train. It was crowded so I went for the first-class upgrade. I'm in my first class seat. It is full of people in groups TALKING TO EACH OTHER. BASTARDS. Apparently Amy would like a cat. One couple are sitting in separate seats. LISA HAVE YOU GOT THE TICKETS. One guy asked if the other ever had a beard. I cannot use this information.
I'm sorry, this is unacceptable. I want studious young men on laptops. Middle aged men with nose hair and good suits who work in the City. Prissy older women who look like Theresa May and tut if somebody says something. England, you have disappointed me.

Burnham made himself look like a right dick at conference.
He should get on with the job that the people of Greater Manchester entrusted him to do and forget about Westminster.

Shouldn’t it be “Today is High Noon for Andy Burnham”?'s is both short for is, and a possessive
Maybe not, “Today’s” just doesn’t seem right to me

If the wording seems clear, you've not read past the highlighted section to the next sentence which says anything goes so long as it is “a proportionate means of reducing under-representation”.This is his tweet:As I understand it, the rules say that the NEC can impose an all women (or other) shortlist, if representation in the parliamentary Labour Party is lacking.Burnham may still decide to go for it before tomorrow's 5pm deadline but it seems like the NEC will try and impose an all BAME shortlist to stop him anywayTom Harwood says that would clearly be illegal.
Why would that be illegal?

I am not lawyer, so I don't know, but the wording seems bloody clear to me. Women short list ok. Not BAME. Or even Global Majority.

This is the " @Leon 's coming on holiday" flag:We should go back to the system where basically half the countries in the world had union jacks in the corners of their flags because BritainYou make a good point. Perhaps we should ask Hawaii if they want to reorder the parts of their flag. And suggest they join the Commonwealth.
