The big political news has been the Labour conference decision to reject a move that would have seen the party take out-and-out Remain position in the run-up to the likely early general election.

(1) that way it would be possible to see whether CLP delegates were voting as they had been mandated by their CLPs.
(2) to ensure that only those entitled to vote could vote.
It is telling - though totally unsurprising - that Len McCluskey appointee Jennie Formby jumped in immediately to ensure that there was no card vote. But in doing so she will undoubtedly have pissed off a lot of party members. Not that it matters very much. Labour has finally destroyed itself this week. The only sadness is that it will take too long to die, meaning Boris Johnson has a free run at the next general election.
Classic Dom.
(With apologies to those who have heard this joke before, from me, really quite recently)
As for the chaos at Labour Conference that's in the price. We've known Labour's institutional antisemiticism is going to collide with Equalities law for months. That collision will be career ending for dozens and incur 7 figure costs.
We fight on.
little Labour
Big mistake
It is levels of damage beyond anything he could engineer.
AIUI Labour wins the next election. Labour Govt. sits down with the EU to agree a future relationship, allowing for N. Ireland, Gibraltar Free Movement (or not) etc.
Govt and EU agree a position. Labour goes back to the country; Our Deal or Remain.
As a Remainer that seems to me to be a sensible policy.
And contrary to much drivel spouted it is VERY easy for people - other than the ultra dense - to understand.
People voting Lab instead of LD results in PM Jezza and a Peoples Vote with Remain on the Ballot
Not Rocket Science. Tory Swinson = #BolloxtostoppingBrexit
What possible incentive do they have.
Plus some of the top people in the cult are already saying they will campaign against it - campaign against their own deal.
If that isn't silly what the hell is?

1 the government should have done something to support TC to at least get people home.
2 the allegations of Johnson in proprietary whilst not universally accepted has actually broken through
3 I’m afraid Greta protests too much and should have quit whilst she was in front.
The labour party conference isn’t even on the radar and there are a few people wondering what the hell the government is doing spending money on brexit adverts when it doesn’t know what’s happening
Was it a "moral hazard" to pay that blonde chick £126,000 of public money for a BJ for BJ?
With a polarised electorate, it's crackers. Designed to appeal to everyone... actually appeals to (next to) nobody.
The Lib Dem revoke is not democratic, and imo if implemented would cause civil unrest.

PM Corbyn means a Peoples Vote PM Jester means No Deal Brexit
A vote for Tory Swinson makes the latter most likely outcome
Its not Rocket Science Tory Swinson = #BolloxtostoppingBrexit
A vote for Tory Swinson is a vote for Jesters No Deal
Within 6 months
Where does this leave the line about evil Corbyn going against the members and being anti democratic?
Such a shame....

I have 5 A levels and degrees from Oxford and Harvard. Angela Rayner is a far better politician than I will ever be. And a far more admirable human being than the mean spirited snobs who sneer at her.
Sour grapes by any chance?
Where a referendum would be.
Everything else is noise.
They are proposing to take away these schools' endowments, playing fields, buildings etc etc and redistribute.
Today, private schools. Tomorrow a house with a spare bedroom.

It also seemed hard, I was told, to the grandchildren who live in Kent and therefore had the pleasure of a) studying for it and b) taking it.
The Labour party position on Brexit hasn't changed, It is still equivocal but it does include a second referendum. I don't think it will change LibDem tactical voting behaviour much, but I think it will cause some more Labour supporters to defect to the LibDems.
The Lib dem policy would be then re-join ?
Do you think that would be popular ?
My guess is most people would want to move on to domestic issues.
Those banker analysts quoted in the Guardian the other day who say the City is coming around to the idea of Corbyn need to take a look at the policies coming out of this shambles of a conference.
Boris Johnson also got a hearing on his use of tax payers money to his past girl friend.
With the supreme court hearing to come .
The yellow peril dead in the water last year and Corbyn has kindly insisted on breathing life into the corpse and now the monster is on the threshold on consuming the composite remnants of the Labour party.
Or to shaft?
There will need to be a 25% increase in employees
or
NHS employees will need to increase their work rate by 25%
or
NHS services will need to be reduced by 20%
or
some combination of the above.
And likewise for the rest of the public sector.
