Most Labour MPs are doing great. I fundamentally disagree about major things with a handful of them. There's nothing wicked about supporting and voting Labour.

I know we've had this news earlier but I'd no idea the ramifications were this dire.Snow-hit southern Europe could face energy shortages after authorities warned that Austrian pipelines were likely to be out of action for days following an explosion and fire that ripped through a main gas hub near Vienna.
Baumgarten, where the explosion occurred, is a key distribution and reception hub for gas exports and imports, including from Russia, Europe’s biggest gas supplier. In Italy, where rain, snow and extreme cold weather have disrupted traffic in the north-east over the last few days, the country’s industry minister declared a state of emergency due to a lack of gas supplies.

@SH (3 quote rule so new thread)
Voting anyone but Labour won't stop Brexit. So Brexit is going to happen come what may.
I consider Brexit, coupled with a tory government, will be a disaster for generations to come.
Brexit under Labour will also be a disaster, economically & socially, but may not be quite as bad as under tory's.
Therefor this "Jim" will take the gun offered to him kill the Indians, and will turn it right onto Pedro, hit the floor running (or rolling) and hoping for the best.

EU sends stark warning to airlines on post-Brexit flying
Julia Fioretti
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - British airlines will lose all flying rights to the European Union if there is no transition agreement after Brexit, the EU executive said on Tuesday, a stark reminder of the risks facing the aviation sector if there is no deal.
In a notice to all airlines, the European Commission said UK air carriers would no longer enjoy traffic rights under any air transport agreement to which the EU is a party, meaning they would no longer have the right to fly to the EU and between its member states.
They would also lose flying rights under agreements between the EU and third countries, such as the U.S.-EU Open Skies agreement.
