And yet a blatant attempt to try and direct from the sidelines. Please retire, JC
Not bothered by Corbyn answering the question, I have a bit of an issue with RLB apparently saying she would offer him a place on her team. That isn't really reading the room.And yet a blatant attempt to try and direct from the sidelines. Please retire, JC
Labour leadership: Jeremy Corbyn 'would consider shadow cabinet role'
The outgoing Labour leader says he would be "happy" to serve his successor "in any capacity".www.bbc.co.uk
I don't doubt her identity, but what are the sources for the BBC having intentionally chosen her and paid her to be there? Seems like conspiracy bs from a random Twitter "source"
The EU continues to do the work that we should be doing ourselves.Barnier pours scorn on Johnson's spokesman ahead of trade talks
EU negotiator signals future relationship negotiations are on course for acrimonious startwww.theguardian.com
The DailyMail has an absolutely disgusting headline, completely missing the point, almost as if they are defending a few people.
LBC James O'Brien does a good job going through it. He also mentions the comments by Johnson on "spaffing money up the wall" and comments by a previous whip about using these incidents as a way to control MPs.
James O'Brien's instant reaction to Westminster child sex abuse report
This was James O'Brien's instant reaction to a damning independent report which found senior figures at the highest level of government spent decades turning "a blind eye" to claims of child sex abuse.www.lbc.co.uk
There is ample evidence that individual perpetrators of child sexual abuse have been linked to Westminster.
It is clear that there have been significant failures by Westminster institutions in their dealing with, and confrontation of, allegations of child sexual abuse. This has included not recognising it, turning a blind eye to it, actively shielding and protecting perpetrators, and covering up allegations of child sexual abuse.
Even though we did not find evidence of an organised Westminster paedophile network, the lasting effect on victims of sexual abuse by individual abusers linked to Westminster has been profound. And it has been compounded by institutional complacency about child sexual abuse and indifference to the plight of victims. We found, in particular, that institutions regularly put their own reputations or political interests before child protection.
Andrew Neil tells manufacturing conference that 10 Downing Street is happy to see the end of complex, cross-border supply chains after Brexit. `Those days are coming to an end',
@afneil says Says govt. sees rise of 3D printing, more domestic sourcing as the future
Not sure what Andrew Neil is on about, 3D printers must be a lot better than i imagined.
He... he does understand materials have to come from somewhere, right?

So UK ERA, how are you all feeling about the Labour leadership election?
Ideologically, I would prefer RLB but I feel like she would suffer a similar fate to Corbyn, so perhaps Starmer is the "safer" choice?
I was gutted when Corbyn lost, it was a blow to the international leftist movement. I suppose there's still Bernie later this year...
Wait hold on I just realised, aren't we supposed to be doing more global trade as part of justifying this Brexit bollocks? How does that not involve cross-border trade?

I'm still undecided but at the moment I'll be giving Nandy my first preference vote and Starmer will be my second. For deputy leadership I'll probably go
Allin-Khan then Rayner with Murray as my last choice.
At the start of this campaign I was quite excited by it but essentially all candidates have disappointed me. Starmer and Rayner have tread water the entire time offering no real vision for the future of the party just hoping to coast in. Long-Bailey and Burgeon have clearly not learned anything from the last 5 years and some of the things they have chosen to talk about are laughable. I'd only vote Nandy through process of elimination as she is willing to discuss changes to the future of the party while sticking to a lot of the recent great policies from recent years. Though I do worry she just says whatever she can to please who she's speaking to, especially considering she ran Owen Smith's campaign lol.
I'm not sure I've ever been an undecided voter in any vote in my life but none of the incessant communication from the candidates are winning me over. Starmer has sent me an A3 poster of his face which is type of thing we do not need for the party.
I don't know much about 3d printing, so i was curious if it sounded a bit Star Trek to others as well.
I'm happy to be proven wrong but from what little I've seen of 3D printing it is mostly used by hobbyists and start ups. I think it's a cool idea but industrial scale, I just can't see how you don't end up having to get a specialist to print it for you on a super big machine. Therefore probably having to import it anyway.
This all has the suspicious air of Cummings about it. "Technology will solve our problems, which technology, that one over there!" *scarpers*
You're gonna be surprised at what people have done with 3D printing right now. It has really taken off in mad experimental ways that allows space rockets to be built in a matter of days, fully automated, alongside things like replacement body parts, construction parts, machine parts, etc. Its fucking mad.
But the problem still remains that the UK doesn't have the resources and would need to import everything, the only thing i see it doing is making people redundant in factories.
Good response by Keir.
i'm going to vote for Keir for leader. I don't have anything against the other two candidates but Keir seems to be the best bet at uniting the party. Hopefully Rebecca and Nandy get jobs in the shadow cabinet because they both seem capable and have something to bring.
For deputy, I haven't chosen between Rosena and Rayner. Would be fine with either, Rayner seems like she is going to win by a landslide anyway.
Just sign here buddy. We've got it covered.
Still need people to maintain those machines, people trained in their operation, assembly of the parts in the end (whether by machine or hand, still need people). Sure, you need to obtain raw materials (import or home production), but when you just need those and not an infinitisemal amount of different things imported, you can see (and hope) the process of importing is simpler.
Regarding redundancy, the future is automated, if society lasts until then, so redundancies are obvious no matter what. Society will have to accept that and learn how to re-employ people in a new economy.
I just don't trust the Tories to know what to do in that kind of society. They'd happily let people languish while companies grow evermore fat with profit.
