Idk, I suppose the flip side is months of PMQs with Corbyn getting rinsed as a lame duck, but if he could ride it out? I know people are angry and want to move on, but I don't see any practical reason not to take a bit of time - at least make it look like there is some introspection happening!
Yeah, I know it's a busy time of year and all but GPs are stretched so thin these days you never see the same doctor anymore.
It's at the point I need to go to the doctors about my back as I can't walk the dog far anymore and I'm dreading it if just being told to put up with it.
If you're lucky you'll get one single session of physio like I did :/
They'll shove you on painkillers for the rest of your life because that's the cheapest option for back problems.
Reminds me my own GP said my pain and tiredness was "in my head" who would keep telling me to just phone appointment as it was easier until i ended up randomly getting blood tests then sleep tests and since then found to have sleep apnoea, haemochromatosis and polycythaemia.
It's because she has been chosen to be Corbyn's successor for a while now, she even took over for him at PMQs once when it should have normally been Emily Thornberry. She isn't bad from what I've seen but isn't anything special, she would struggle uniting the party.
Out of all the Corbyn loyalists I think Angela Rayner would be the best but the party needs to move away from Corbyn somewhat imo.
Out of curiosity, what's the context of this?
I wouldn't be too surprised if Rod Steward is a Tory supporter, but I would be disappointed nonetheless...
Oh I know, McCain's response was instant meme material. But now there's sufficient evidence of it working so it'll go full pelt against Bernie now.
I actually think he's fantastic. Always calm and rational when interviewed, explains his opinions and doesn't just stick to soundbites. And like Corbyn, just comes across as a kind, caring man. I think he's better than Corbyn in many ways and wonder what would have been different had he been the leftie candidate put forward in 2015 rather than Jeremy. I understand why he can't/shouldn't be leader now, but I would love to see him continue on the frontbenches for Labour, however unlikely that is.
He would have dealt with some of the issues that came up a lot damn faster, I don't think he would have had the weird little clique surrounding him as well.
Yeah, it should have been him really.
Mine is quite good in the sense they do commuter appointments so I got in last week two days after calling.
Ridiculous thing was I only wanted an open referral as I have private Healthcare via work so just need a referral so I can see a specialist for ongoing wrist pain. GP wouldn't give me one though and told me to come back in two weeks if pain still there. Didn't matter that I've had the pain for months and I have private healthcare.
Makes little sense as I'm now going to have to go back waisting the GP's time for no good reason. He could have just gave me the referral and never had to see me again.
imo the difference is probably that there is an actual issue with antisemitism within labour
There is, but I don't believe from some of the data that gets out here and there that it's much different to anywhere else, and that's with the obvious more pro Palestinian position of people in the party who go on to lose perspective etc.
There is a report coming soon so maybe we will get a proper look at what is happening.
I knew I was on board after his first speech and Jeremy had to tell him to wave.
I'm glad he got a reminder tonight that many people have chosen to stand for something because of the pair of them.
Sorry to hear that man. I recently complained about my GP, she said my mental health wasn't that bad... and it was only mental not physical...
So I complained and got a apology
Looks like parts of Scottish Labour is going to become a headache for British Labour. Fun times ahead.
This is what we need though, soft-Unionists in the Labour party to get their heads out their asses and accept their socialist revolution isn't coming as long as we're tied to England/UK.
You're getting Tory reign no matter if we vote 48 SNP seats in Scotland or 48 Labour. It's time to go. Many of us knew it in 2014, but welcome aboard if it took to the mess of 2019 for you to see where the UK is heading.
i mean, i was a remainer, and disagree with the idea if he's implying it that most leave voters aren't racist, but voting leave isn't automatically racist, there are good left wing reasons to distrust the EU, some outlined in the tweet
Guy is saying how can you call leave racist when Blair etc voted remain.... that isn't how shit works. Leave ran on a bigot as hell campaign, remain didn't. If you voted leave you are at the very least ok with bigoted shit.
I can't deny there will be some who had some very valid reasons for voting leave however I have no doubt you asked 100 people why they voted leave at best you would find 10 who actually had some valid reasons.
FFS just look at the leave campaign. The reasons they were pushing for brexit was "control of our borders, laws and money". That was it.
Immigration was the #1 theme they pushed and the gullible swallowed it all up.
I thought you might agree with that in a way, some establishment types on the remain side just valued their money more than they hated immigrants.
The Remain campaign was being run by David Cameron and was predicated on the promises from the EU of slightly more managed migration, after he'd tried to get much more out of them in negotiations, it was hardly woke
I'm not saying they're not largely pulled in by racist policies, just that not all reasons someone voted are racist and that, divorced of the campaign, not wanting to be in the EU isn't automatically a racist opinion
Read what I put. I said not all leave voters are racist, but were fine voting for a campaign that was bigoted as hell. That is 100% true
Why would I agree remain was racist? Did racists vote remain? Yeah as this country is full of them. But remain itself didn't run on bigotry.
Was a reading up on Cummings after the results came in, it's fucking odd how his moral compass is. Seems to love the nhs, and wants big spending to happen in England, unlike majority of tories, does not like FoM at all but isn't hugely bothered about immigration compared to other tories and espouses the points based system. Wants to reshape the economy but spend an enormous amount of money to do so. More then any Tory would agree too. He works with them but fucking hates with a passion most of them.
I think the power struggles between his lot and the Tory lot will be intensely interesting going forward. Right now it's advantage Cummings, wonder what will happen in a few years once the HC tories gain power once more within the party and call the shots.
I can definitely see Burnham enter the scene after 2024, once he does his mayoral term and either becomes and becomes an mp or gets elected as one.
He needs to work on his presentation skills however, he is good with media and in the commons, but comes off as a little robotic. Its nothing major, but if he is going up against the likes of Boris, he needs to be a bit more flexible and domineering. Has a great look though alongside Starmer.

no i agree, but remain just pretending the EU was perfect worked out great too
Yeah, I was close to voting leave, I wasn't happy with lots of stuff myself.
I kinda figured armed uprisings in modern Western countries were a ridiculous idea... but if all the people you're against are 60+
All the youth are exhausted cycling around for deliveroo.
You can't make me choose between starting an armed militia or getting Wagamama's delivered to my door!
It's just not fair!
That's the difference between you and the 60+ brigade, they made real sacrifices, mostly at your expense.
I feel like the BBC thinks that by showing their belly to the tories they are going to be saved from privatisation or closure. They are in for a shock.
Insightful analysis, I like the way her brain just gave up farting through her mouth.
^wow, there's probably more black people at an EDL meeting, you wouldn't think it was possible.
This is like that time the BBC accidentally interviewed an accountant interviewee instead of an Apple tech expert and that dude still did a better job than these girls.
Anyway, keep showing your contempt for Scotland please. Sturgeon surge.
