I dare say there will be a bit of 'if only Saint Ruth's hand was on the tiller' revisionism, but I'm convinced they'd behave in exactly the same way if she was still in charge. We've got the evidence of the last two years to draw on after all.StuartDickson said:

The two are related. Increasingly extreme clickbait (“Watch Nigel Farage DESTROY Remoaner caller”) pushes coverage to the extremes in the hope of getting attention, issues are not properly covered, partisan attacks replace the type of analysis required to hold these people to account. There’s too much shouting, too much media full stop.StuartDickson said:
If binary Manichaeanism is the thing you find most dispiriting in modern politics then you are a lucky man.DougSeal said:
Quite. You can’t “finish” an idea. An idea may rise and fall in popularity but it will never be “finished”. This binary Manichaeanism is what I find most dispiriting in modern politics.StuartDickson said:
If A happens it will finish Scottish independence.CaptainBuzzkill said:If Boris fails and the UK remains then on the plus side it will finish Scottish Independence.
And the Tories will have cleared the stables.
If B happens it will finish Scottish independence.
If C happens it will finish Scottish independence.
... Ad infinitum.
There is always one more straw for the Brit Nats to cling on to. Until there isn’t.
The thing I find most dispiriting about modern politics is that we have no decent journalists to hold the incompetent shits to account.0 -

The 15th (2nd day of Tabernacles) is significantly better than the 14th (the 1st day). The festival ends at nightfall on the 15th, which is around 7pm. So we'd have a few hours to clear up and get down the polling stations. Turnout would still definitely be down.Scott_P said:Cumming wargamed this...
https://twitter.com/alexwickham/status/1168979873781768194
The other positive of the 15th is that those of us who care would at least be able to watch the results overnight, which would not be the case on the 14th...
Edit: further to the point made by @Chris, there are also those who would refrain from writing during the rest of the (9 days in total) festival, so that's Tuesday evening out as well, and also the rest of the week. It's a much smaller proportion of the community, though.0 -

Corbyn is unlikely to lose Jewish votes given his issues (because none will vote for him)
Cummings is doing his best to ensure that they cannot vote Tory.

No. This will not stand. JRM might be a creepy Victorian undertaker, ready to embalm democracy, but in this instance he is damn well doing his job and trying to listen, as best he can, to a backbencher. As you admit.
It is shameful that an MP is blatantly twisting this into some libelous meme. Hope she gets the clap, like she did before.

No doubt it'll all be framed as part of the way to whip the public up for a people vs the parliament election (whenever they can get it over the line somehow), but I do wonder if Boris and co really considered how much Bercow can f*ck them if he really wants to.Scott_P said:0 -
I also think that body posture is a pretty minor reason to criticise anyone, but Mogg's was pretty extreme. I've been mildly deaf for many years, but I could hear debate well just by leaning back on the bench towards the mike - you really don't need to go into full recline mode like Mogg.Mysticrose said:I'm sure most of you know this but the reason some MPs look like they're slouching is practical. Acoustics in the Chamber are awful, but if you lie back with your ear to the loudspeakers positioned in the rear of the seats you can hear okay.
More seriously, I think that Team Boris is being intellectually outgunned - the coalition stretching from Philip Hammond via Ken Clarke vis Hilary Benn via Tony Blair (whose elephant trap warning got serious attention) via Vince Cable via John McDonnell to Caroline Lucas knows procedure better, spots logical inconsistencies better and handles major debates better than Cummings and his insurgents.0 -

He seems quite prone to pettiness and petulance (for instance his complete invention of conventions for why May should resign even after winning a party VONC). Just a guess, but he might be the sort who is very charming and pleasant right up to the point he gets pissed off and then he throws a hissy fit like a child. His body language may well be terrible - but it is just so lame to moan about body language, that he is not listening respectfully enough. Would it be better if he sat there with a look of enraptured interest on his face and then stood up and said the same things he has said?rottenborough said:
