We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
This Trevor Philips stuff is bizarre, The Policy exchange releasing a PDF, complaints about having a flawed definition of islamophobia and freedom of speech etc. I sometimes feel i'm living in a fucked up experiment of some kind. I think suspending him with a leadership contest underway was a mistake, but all this shit about Labour trying to intimidate the EHRC has to be the ramblings of a loonie.
can you imagine how much worse it would be under labour? /s

First hints that there might be some tasty stuff in the russian report.
You can read some of his submitted evidence but the redactions make me curious as other people are named.

I know someone else was going through the same battle my wife was here recently, I feel shit for not being able to remember their username right now, but if you're out there other guy who was fighting for their wifes PIP did you get anywhere?
After 6 months and almost 2 more months waiting for the tribunal date to come through my wife was finally awarded her disability again! If you haven't heard from them yet dont give up hope! We HAD given up hope. It broke my wife and shes been seeing a therapist since but it's actually fucking over! Dont give up, there's a light at the end of the tunnel!

Never watched it but Nigel Farage on to discuss something he has no business discussing. wow...
Still waiting on that Tribunal date. x.x would be great to hear something soon, things are tight money wise due to all my own hospital appointments (we get a taxi there due to some other issues I have and it's like 20 - 30 quid each way) plus shopping every week and other surprise expenses. urgh.
Hopefully we get a date soon and win it. Hopefully.
Oh and congrats on winning it. We're at a month or so of waiting now for a date (after having to resubmit information because of a paperwork error on our part. Did that back in Jan)

Fwiw I know the feeling. It's been rough as fuck getting by. At Christmas we had the rent +£70 for the whole month. Fingers crossed you get what we did where they call and offer it reinstated over the phone. We were also waiting on the tribunal date which was already overdue but got a call instead. I'm crossing my fingers and toes you get tha same. When this happened to my father he got the call a couple weeks later whereas ours was months so I figure they're very backed up atm.
Since we seemed to be going through this around the same time I'm hoping it's just a similar case for you too. They didnt actually mention any change in circumstances. They just basically saw the tribunal request finally and chose this instead of fighting it.
In the reddit thing I posted, I saw this

Fucking hell, it's night and day compared to the BBC here. Interrupting him several times to correct him rather than letting him waffle on.

Wow, lucky. Almost jealous (but happy <3) of yous haha.
Our luck tends to be pretty bad so I doubt we'll have that luck, plus from 0 points to being awarded it without going to tribunal, I just don't see it happening.
But yeah, I am really happy for you and your wife though. ^^
I'm gonna be holding out every bit of hope for you and your wife man. We've been feeling down on our luck with all of it too. Admittedly my wife was granted 4 points initially which may have acted as a small leg up, but she was also denied any extra points with mandatory reconsideration too. If you're a month in then hopefully you'll be a month out from a call. We had definitely given up on the hope of anything other than tribunal too.
Our mandatory reconsideration response letter from them was literally the same thing the initial letter decision said. As in, they basically didn't even read the mandatory reconsideration letter we submitted.
So urgh.
Appreciate the good thoughts though, thanks. <3.
Yeah I'm done with the BBC at this point, anyone who says it's worth keeping around are kidding themselves.Reddit - Dive into anything
I checked out his appearance - thankfully it wasn't as bad as I thought - thought he'd literally been invited into the studio as some sort of Coronavirus expert.
It was more to do with the government's response and how the most trenchant opposition is currently coming from outside Westminster.
Although, I'd rather save that for experts too.

All those people in the comments saying "THIS IS WHY LABOUR WILL KEEP LOSING" are themselves completely oblivious to the fact that nobody cares about "winning the culture war" but them, and the rest of us see the discourse for what it really is... an attempt to strip away civil rights.
TBH, the trans stuff can become a issue for Labour, there were reports of the Conservatives already testing out how to weaponise the issue before the last election. I definitely expect them to try and use it in the coming years, Labour has to be able to respond in a way that effectively makes clear they stand with the trans community and advocate for then effectively. Emphasis on the effectively because I see a lot of people who are 100% right in what they are saying but can't communicate it and handle the issue in interviews/debates. Props to Lisa for being able to do that.
^so Boris could potentially have the Coronavirus... that would be interesting, considering his stance...
That's why he was hiding for a few weeks. He was protecting us all. What a great Prime Minister he is. Good boy, Boris!
welp appointing Chris Grayling on the intelligence committee makes me think he's got encephalitis, not covid-19
The conspiracy theorist in me, is starting to wonder if there's a way that Boris will make money from the spread of the Coronavirus; at first I was thinking that it's possible that reliance on US Pharma will strengthen his relationship with Trump, but then I thought, even if Boris tried to contain the Coronavirus, 99% of the population would take the vaccine, regardless of whether there was any risk of them catching the coronavirus or not.
Hmm..., so how else could Boris be financially benefiting from the spread of the Coronavirus...???
Maybe it's the opposite, and he's worried about the share prices of all his investments; have the Teletubbies had an IPO???

I don't know, at that first press briefing with Whitty he said he was shaking hands with everyone. Sounds like he's spreading more than syphilis for a change.
Does the Fed know something the rest of us do not with its panicked interest rate cut?

Right now the right-wing press seem to be caught between "dirty immigrants are infecting us so let's close the borders" and "we could make money off of this".
Utterly revolting. That this seems reasonable to write in a national news paper is sickening...

...Isn't this their own voting base too?
The Author responds
"On reflection, I should not have used the word "cull". But I am unrepentant about the economic point I was trying to make. Any thinning out of those of prime working age is a much bigger supply shock than the same thing among elderly retirees. Obviously, for those affected it is a human tragedy whatever the age, but this is a piece about economics, not the sum of human misery."
A telegraph reader not happy with the show of weakness
"The only people getting bent out of shape over the 'cull' comment are deeply precious and timorous
invertebrates who revel in taking offence and struggle with anything which requires even a semblance of resilience."
Bunch of fucking nutters
this is before brexit and the coronavirus too.
the chancellor is about to promise the world as we're running head first into a recession

You really can say anything as long as you are a right wing capitalist.
It's a strange business model to root for the death of your main customer demographic.

Boris Johnson signalled that self employed could receive sick pay - sorry, just saw it on Guardian live blog from PMQs
Good move tbh

That telegraph quote is unreal.
"Thanks for the crucial votes that got us exactly what we wanted, now do what's right and die a painful death at the hands of a preventable disease"

Chris Grayling to head body that will have final say over Russia report
Westminster insiders reacted with dismay at the possibility of Grayling becoming chairman. One Conservative MP said: "He doesn't have a clue and is likely to be supportive of the government, not critical." One Whitehall veteran expressed dismay, writing an expletive in a text.
Jesus wept.

It's good as a temporary measure - but yes, those lines will be clogged up.
Seems like some okay measures in this budget so far tbh
Edit: or maybe not as good as I first thought

Indeed, and you get statutory sick pay of £94.25 a week. Or benefits. That'll help people.
