Reminder now Emily Thornberry is running for Labour leadership.
"Do I think we have too many people coming into this country? I think we do". Emily Thornberry on Marr, 2016.

Interesting phrasing given some people die in ditches, or larger bodies of water, because they don't have freedom of movement.

Also said that support for Assad has been underestimated.

And a supporter of Labour Friends of Israel. Presumably Palestinian support for Bibi has been underestimated too. Thornberry at the Labour Friends of Israel podium

*unless you live in Iran, then you have to make do with reforms handed down from Ali Khamenei
(see here)

Since the last time I checked, it looks like that incredibly bad open letter, signed by a mixture of some horrible people and some who I was really surprised to see on there, may have been withdrawn. If that's the case, then this is a good development.

The NHS privatisation US trade deal discussion really glosses over how much the NHS is already privatised behind the scenes. And how much free at point of use is already being undermined within public provision via up front charging and surcharges.
A lot of community health provision has been hived off from the NHS and is now subcontracted to 'social enterprises'. Employees moved from NHS go on TUPE but will be excluded from collective bargaining (I think?). 100k people work for these now.

The massive one is PFI, where hospitals were built against 20-30 year exorbitant loans and contracts. Saddling now economically siloed
NHS trusts with massive debts.

Today is the 105th anniversary of the SPD voting for war credits in the reichstag at the start of WWI. There's still a lot to learn from that event to understand how we got to where we are today. Black and white photo of the Reichstag
"Those who had worked for and wholly believed in the ability of organized labor to stand against war now saw the major social democratic parties of Germany, France, and England rush to the defense of their fatherlands." - Rosa Luxemburg

Liebknecht was the only SPD deputy who didn't vote in favour of war credits. Less than five years later he was murdered by the proto-fascist Freikorps, under the control of SPD minister Gustav Noske.

A last chance.
Latest Poll.
Progressives 54%
Regressives 46%

You've won folks!
And yet lost.

Few options are left but there is still one. It's not inconsistent for anyone snd it unites.

Press Weds?

Care Diem⏬
So many people want to see friends come together.

And you've tried.

@joswinson 2nd ref statements yesterday has much more appeal than #revoke.

@NicolaSturgeon reasonable moderated language on #IndyRef2 helps

Now @jeremycorbyn it's your turn

Cynical? In denial? Could we have predicted this?
We tried.

Dear @AndrewMarr9,
Your reputation and that of @BBCPolitics are on the line. Nigel Farage told you we'd get a great EU deal when you raised Brexit's economic issues.
If you don't call out No Deal (and use this info: )
You & the BBC are populist tools.
#Marr
Realistic simulation of if Marr did his job:
#Marr: You say we should leave the EU without a deal. Can you guarantee that's what all 17 million people who voted for Brexit wanted in 2016?
Nigel: 17 Million people voted for us to become a free self-governing independent nation.
#Marr: But did they all vote for a No Deal Brexit?
Nigel: I've always said that No Deal is better than a bad deal.
Marr: But when I told you in 2015 that people were worried about the economic damage, you reassured them by saying we'd get a "far far better" deal than Norway has.

1) honest, straightforward #Brexit politics
There's now 4 major players in the Brexit debate
- Remainers
- May's Deal supporters
- Hard/No deal brexiters
- Labour Leadership

Labour Leadership are the most dishonest & duplicitous by any measure by some margin
#PeoplesVote
2) Remainers - are clear on their offer and objectives. Do not pretend that a reversal would be easy but are the most clear on exactly what Remain means.
The economic impacts are most clear as well, because Remain has no negative impact in the short or mid term
3) May's deal - for all its faults May's deal is at least real & achievable. There's a level of dishonesty as to what it means & the implications, and a pretence that it's "better for the country" but in general people can assess it

Like Remain, the EU will accept it

Reminder that Jews for Jesus is a Christian organization created to aggressively proselytize among Jews.

This often involves harassing Jews in Jewish spaces.

Some bizarre experiences I have had with them are threaded below.

(THIS WILL GET VERY STRANGE)
A note that they have various different subgroups ("Messianic Jews" is along the same lines) and their tactics might also be different country to country, I did not ask all of them which exact denomination they belonged to.

(I did ask some of them.)
They heavily recruit in Eastern Europe. Right now probably more heavily than in the US, today's events notwithstanding.

Actual Jewish organizations are also heavily active in Eastern Europe, bc we went through many years of state-mandated atheism in recent history.
