Thought I'd share so we can set up a therapy group, sharing is caring after all.

I'm not talking about her attitudes towards private schooling but to her attitudes towards RTB.
Can you show me where she has attacked RTB as a policy?
If you cannot, I will assume that you are talking utter garbage.
Next you'll be saying that post-damascene investment bankers who keep all their hard-earned cash but preach redistribution are good socialists.
Galloway may well still win but I don't see value at the current odds.
I've backed Gorgeous too though - so I'd advise punters to avoid.
And if a non-wealthy person preaches redistribution then it is the "politics of envy".

He might be using Reform talks as a bit of leverage.
My niece (and now nephew-in-law) had two wedding ceremonies. Firstly, a Sikh ceremony and, the following week, a humanist ceremony.
Later we discovered that neither of these was their actual wedding - they'd been to the registry office the week before it all kicked off with parents and siblings to do the official stuff.
However he may justifiably feel he has more chance of holding Ashfield as a Reform candidate than a Tory, Ashfield had never elected a Tory MP at a general election until 2019 when he won it and even then only for Boris to get Brexit done
If they had had more notice and got their fingers out then LDs would have been in with a shout with nobody wanting anyone else, but they don't appear to have done so (on the basis that there has been zippo from the LDs on the by election).
Is anyone campaigning there? Galloway I assume.
Where and when has she been hypocritical?
'Traditionally' also includes hanging and flogging, but also sound money, an effective defence, functioning courts, etc. etc. so it doesn't mean much with the current C&UP, and as for Reform I'm not familiar with them except they like the same sort of things.
Not the same as a humanist wedding.
My son's wedding was a civil wedding, in a hotel.
Scotland has the sensible rule that a wedding can take place anywhere, so long as the person conducting the wedding is authorised, whether a registrar, a humanist celebrant or a religious person.

But now it supports and is profiteering from it. The houses were built using public funds as social housing. Tenants have been offered a discount to buy those houses, effectively receiving a transfer from the public purse. The Left excoriated Fatcha when she introduced it.
And now Rayner is making a few quid off the poorest in society from it.

But 40 years of suppression destroyed so much productive capacity that the number of new starts is still way below where it needs to be.
Seriously, f**** off

Ahem.
But we're talking about Angela Rayner, who doesn't oppose RTB and who is in a party whose policy is not to oppose RTB. Ergo, no hypocrisy.

It probably doesn't make much difference as, on the whole, the decent buys will have gone long before the rule change, and nobody in their right mind would buy the unsold leftovers. (Interesting question how many, if at all, of the leftovers are even worth buying in gentrifying areas as opposed to being scheduled for demolition.)
So, we should indeed be thankful for these reports from people on the inside.
Over the last few years I've run nearly every road and path within a large area surrounding my home (exc. motorways, obvs...) I've never once felt fearful from people I've seen or met. The runs are often at night or in the dark.
But some female friends *are* fearful of being on the streets at night, even within my town which is not exactly crime central. And the worst thing is, I cannot say they're wrong to feel fear. As a six-foot-two man, my experience of an area might be very different to that of a woman. A somewhat elderly male acquaintances also has some fears.
Fear may be rational or irrational; but the rationality is often very dependent on viewpoint and experience.
Exactly the sort of behaviour that good Lab types should indulge in. I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason they support the policy is to shore up her flank as she knew she was otherwise exposed.
But, yes, Tower Hamlets has some of the most desirable areas to live in the country. Still not seeing much evidence for them - or any other part of the borough - being no-go areas.
I have the same view (in most cases) of identifying your sex when these days it is irrelevant for most purposes. I think it is bizarre that you are asked for your sex on a multitude of forms where it simply is irrelevant and that for instance letters get addressed to Mr/Mrs/Ms but not to the Fat, Old White Person at 3 Acacia Ave. Why is one more relevant than the other descriptions?
"In 2023, around four million houses were occupied by households socially renting. The largest shares of social rented households in England during the period under observation were 2000 and 2001, when a total of almost 20 percent of all households were recorded as socially rented"

Quite unbelievable that anyone in this day and age would have banned people from getting married unless they were "religious".
