The Corbyn legacy

The only region that puts Labour ahead of the Conservatives is London ... which Labour already controls

Everywhere else is a car crash; 34 pts behind in southern non-London England; 27 pts in Midlands; 25 pts among the working class ..

To be fair, many of these problems, like Labour's weakness in England and gradual loss of support in blue-collar areas, can be traced back much further than Corbyn. But they've become far more entrenched since 2016
@Keir_Starmer and team would do well to reflect critically on what has gone wrong and -crucially- not just listen to same old voices who will tell Labour what they want to hear.

If I liked the Sopranos, loved Breaking Bad and worshipped Mad Men, but didn't dig the magic and dragons nonsense of Game of Thrones and think Ozark is a bit blah then what show should I watch next?
Some of the replies are taking me back. Season 1 of Gomorrah and Season 2 of Succession might be some of the finest television ever made. Except Seasons 2 and 3 of Mad Men. And maybe the final season of Sopranos.
If you share my tastes then the consensus seems to be: revisit The Wire immediately, detour into Peaky Blinders, then The Americans & then slide into Better Call Saul followed by Babylon Berlin and then possibly Giri Haji. And then maybe watch succession all over again

How will #coronavirus impact on politics? The short answer -the honest answer- is that we do not know. But we can still ask some questions that will help to organise our thinking. Here are a few for starters ...

/thread
Will the combined political, economic and health crises deliver another body blow -and perhaps a fatal one- to globalisation and the liberal world order, which has already been in retreat for much of the past decade?
Or will it provide a new raison d'être for liberalism, reviving public support for individual freedom and the argument that amid large-scale global challenges like pandemics and climate change the only possible future is a multilateral one?

New advice from UK government: "we are approaching the fast growth part of upward curve. Cases could double every 5-6 days". If you have symptoms stay at home for 14 days. Do not go out. Ideally ask others for help #coronavirus
Boris Johnson: "Everyone now must stop all non-essential contact. Everyone must now work at home if they can. Especially over-70s, pregnant women and those with underlying conditions"
"In a few days we will go further. The vulnerable will be shielded from others for 12 weeks".
