Re: Tuesday 26th September 2017.
Good Corbyn one and all.
Today Labour will not be debating scone recipes, well not with a binding vote on preferred recipe anyway. Therefore we should clearly argue the toss about scone recipes all day.
If anyone has any suggestions of other things that Labour won't be debating and that we should therefore discuss, please say so. Answers on a postcard to..... Oh no there aren't any postcards any more.
In other news, Nick Cave was outstanding, though the moments when he is clearly thinking about his dead son are almost unbearable. He is still a magnetic presence on stage and his voice is perhaps even more powerful than I remember.

The thing that jumps out at me is the idea that all trusts are equal so the struggling ones must be able to pull themselves up to the level of the less struggling ones. Different demographics, different geography, different financial circumstances (PFI)....
The privatised Hinchingbrooke hospital was a total fail. The private sector is not falling over itself to take on any of the hard stuff, so the government is stuck with the NHS for the foreseeable, especially stuff like A&E and will be held accountable to a degree however hard the media try to shield them. So what's their answer? Give trusts less money and then yell at them. Charming.

City administrations in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow and seven others decline to outline the spread of privately owned public areas, or their secret prohibitions – which may include protesting or taking photos
Many of Britain’s largest cities are refusing to reveal information regarding the private ownership of seemingly public spaces, the Guardian has discovered, fuelling concerns about a growing democratic deficit within local city government. (Guardian)

god damn you
Small particulate matter
god damn you
It was the hardest thing in the world having to include vehicle engine combustion emissions and not just leave the public to understand dust and sea-spray were the problem.What is Particulate Matter? What is PM2.5?
Particulate matter (PM) is a term used to describe the mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets in the air. It can be either human-made or naturally occurring. Some examples include dust, ash and sea-spray. Particulate matter (including soot) is emitted during the combustion of solid and liquid fuels, such as for power generation, domestic heating and in vehicle engines.

Suggest preliminary discussions need to cover
I) What exactly is meant by 'scone',
Definition, pronunciation, should we just accept that 'scone is scone' at this stage?
ii) Are we willing to pay for continued access to the scone, if so how much & for how long.
iii) Can the scone be replaced with an off the shelf alternative - this may be a suitable point to start considering ingredients.
iv) If an ad-hoc scone is needed, then should move to full debate on recipes, as you have suggested, maybe widening the debate to discuss associated issues
(butter, jam*,cream, serving temperature, accompanying beverages etc.)
*Jeremy may have strong views on this.
