Morning all.
There's been a whole lot of hypocrisy about Labour's plan to abolish Ofsted from those who'd previously been very vocal on doing just that (looking at you Katharine Birbalsingh) but this is good as you might expect from Sam Freedman.

In 2013, when I was not a public figure, I gave an interview to a local newspaper about my plans to restore a local heritage asset. @JuliaHB1 has now issued an open invitation to those sending me death threats to come and find me and my three young children at that isolated spot.

Concerns over workers/union/State control trumping independence,still very much retain.For emancipation power needs to be wrested,whether private/public provision.

Labour remain activists caught by surprise at the number of speakers in conference hall this afternoon urging colleagues to back Jeremy Corbyn.
They fear despite the support of Unison and Usdaw, they may be on course to lose tonight.

Twitter is quite astonishing really.
Folk who have literally spent the last three years shouting at Corbyn to hold a Peoples Vote now shrieking betrayal.

I mean of course it's worth discussing whether this is the right course, but it surely isn't absurd?

Re: Monday 23rd September 2019
What they want is Brexit turned into a full on culture war with one side crushing the other.
I might not be *quite* so unhappy at that if I didn't think Johnson/Cummings are better placed to win such a thing.
But, in all likelihood, they are.
(oh, and what happens if we do leave at the end of next month - with a deal or not?)

What is almost certain IMHO is that on 1 November we won't be sure whether we've left or not.

I don't think Labour could do better regarding Brexit given the circumstances
Re: Monday 23rd September 2019
Keir Starmer said, "“A referendum in which remain should, and will, be on the ballot paper, along with the best leave deal that can be secured. We owe it to those who want to leave to secure that leave deal and put it to them in a referendum."
It seems a fair competition.

Re: Monday 23rd September 2019
I'm not sure about that. I very very strongly suspect that we will get a lot of 'I see the sky hasn't fallen' comments whilst the EU's imposed-for-its-own-benefit-without-reference-to-us transitions take effect, but I do think that either there is a formal extension or we cease to be members at 11pm (midnight Central European TIme, the final insult) on 31st October. If they fudge some kind of last minute extension, we will know.PaulfromYorkshire wrote:What is almost certain IMHO is that on 1 November we won't be sure whether we've left or not.

Interesting - the Mail front page tomorrow is showing that they're not ready to give up on the story about the PM and his friend.
