* right wing in respect of the Labour Party, probably still more left than Blair at his peak centrist.Anabobazina said:
Agreed except Blairites aren’t “right wing” - they are centre / centre-right at the most extreme. Most are capitalist centre-left.CorrectHorseBattery said:Some others might be able to speak more to this but I would estimate the makeup of the Labour membership as:
80% soft left/social democrats
10% very hard left
10% Blairite/right wing

If DeSantis won the GOP nomination Trump would be beyond livid and I would put money on him standing as an independent to wreck his chances.Anabobazina said:@rcs1000
Agreed. I’d see a DeSantis candidacy as a relief.
Obviously I would never vote for him in a million years, were I American, but he does at least seem within the basic parameters of sane.1 -

Two points on DeSantis (before any of you bet large sums on him): First, he may not survive the upcoming gubernatorial election, especially if his opponent is Charlie Crist: Who is about a bipartisan as you get in American politics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Crist
Second, his handling of COVID in Florida resulted in thousands of deaths that could have been prevented. Here's an example of his latest blunder:
"In an astoundingly callous move, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Department of Health has refused to put in an order with the federal government for a supply of the pediatric vaccines for children under 5, leaving pediatricians and parents to scramble on their own. The deadline for placing a preorder was Tuesday, and the 49 other states met the cutoff. The department said in a statement that it “does not recommend” the shot “for all children,” but, after protests, announced on Friday that it would begin accepting orders for shots from doctors and health-care providers. The department is led by state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, a DeSantis appointee who has been an outspoken skeptic of coronavirus vaccines."
source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/06/18/ron-desantis-florida-refuses-children-covid-vaccines/
If you want data, take a look at how the COVID death rates in Florida compare to those of other states. Because COVID transmission occurs mostly indoors, I am predicting that there will be a surge of cases -- and deaths -- this summer in Florida, when many retreat to air-conditioned malls, and the like.0 -
On the subject of databases, if Starmer wants a free hit on sanity he could announce Labour will abandon the crazily bureaucratic and expensive Making Tax Digital programme the moment they get into power.
Even if the government steals the idea that would be a huge win for small business.1 -

P.S. I wonder if Starmer has had the heads up from Durham that an FPN is on the way.
But anyway, Keir out, Mick in! I don't whether it'll work but he's doing some terrific tory trashing telly.
I can't believe what Raab is up to today either and yet Starmer has no answer for it. This Government is riding roughshod over pretty much every convention and the opposition is having no impact whatsoever. Johnson is running rings around everyone, particularly Starmer. Mind you I am not convinced that Streeting or Nandy have an answer either, and as for BJO's preferred choice, Burnham, he would be worse still.0 -
For all the talk of a LibDem deluge I have only seen a Labour activist thus far (I am in the third town after T and H pretty much every day).
Maybe we'll get a teller tomorrow.
We haven't had that many leaflets really either, though maybe neither Tories or LDs have the resources to deliver the villages. Greens haven't even done a freepost, though perhaps that is deliberate.0 -

I just hosted a Labour “insider”.
No, I don’t think there is much communication between Blair and Keir. I think many New Labour types are still unconvinced that Keir has what it takes.
Blair considered launching a third party around the time of peak Brexit lunacy. I think John Major was also interested or involved, as was Ruth Davison. But it fizzled.
After that Blair was backing Jess Phillips but it’s become clear she’s a bit of an empty vessel. Blair is focusing more on his Institute now, but he still has some influence behind the scenes on things like candidate selection.
My insider suggested that Streeting would “not get through the membership”, and conceded we are all probably stuck with Starmer.0 -

I can't see how it's anything other than a junket for accountants, who get their clients to buy the software, provide training on how to use it at a handsome rate, and then make it much harder for them to change as they'd have to do the same thing again with a different accountant. £1900 is what it has so far cost one of my friends, one way and another.Flatlander said:

It actually works quite well.ydoethur said:On the subject of databases, if Starmer wants a free hit on sanity he could announce Labour will abandon the crazily bureaucratic and expensive Making Tax Digital programme the moment they get into power.
Even if the government steals the idea that would be a huge win for small business.
Forcing a one person business to buy some sh*t software to fill in their tax form monthly stinks of lobbying by someone. Forcing monthly reporting for a small business which has a very variable income is also nuts.
And what will it raise? Not a penny. In fact, it will likely cut tax take as people will be so damn busy filling it in they will be less productive.
It's proof the Treasury are useless c***s as well, of course, but that didn't really need proving after the last 30 years.

There was a general sense that "process is more important than supporting a school or principal" for the authority, the review added.
"Decision making in the Education Authority can be characterised by 'has the process been followed?'" it said.
Of course, nothing will change, since these things are always so bloody obvious that everyone involved already knew it was the case, so why would admitting it lead to alteration?
