Yeah Weatherwax is a libertarian¹.

1 - Weatherwax was a libertarian but of the cool European sort and not the ghastly American type

Yeah it sort of weirdly works as a Tory metaphor at a times. A vague sense of anti-authoritarianism running through the entire work but with everything actually needing a powerful, ruthless paternalistic force to keep the cogs turning.

Crucially not mentioning that the packaging in Latin America does not tell consumers the level of processing - ultra or otherwise. It labels Salt, Sugar, and Fats (and in some countries, according to an article I just read, they include caffeine and artificial sweeteners)

It was fascinating bit of TV especially as the premise that Something Must Be Done about UPFs was just accepted without explaining what that something was. Eventually they halfheartedly suggested we should make the existing traffic light packaging bigger, blacker and mandatory.

Ah well you see they’re approved by tests designed by scientists who are in the pocket of big UPF just like how scientists said paid for by big tobacco said smoking was safe

Oh man it’s so bad. There is an amazing bit where they take it to a food lawyer to ask her if it’s legal and she just says “Well yes, but you are going to have to put a label on it saying it’ll make you shit yourself”

That kind of politics has massive potential if they could avoid getting riven in two over Europe pretty much straight away

FYI Imgur blocking UK users isn't because of the Online Safety Act, it's because they're in the process of being fined for not following data protection laws.

In the town of Bury, Lancashire, it is apocryphally impossible to use the standard test for bowel cancer, because all the residents have so much hemoglobin in their stools because of the amount of black pudding they eat.

Unquestionable evidence that those feet in ancient times did in fact walk upon england’s mountains green

Terrorism case against Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh thrown out Chief magistrate at Woolwich crown court rules that ‘proceedings were instituted unlawfully and are null’

"on a technicality"

Not really.

A failure to get necessary consents to a terror charge is not a slight error. They are safeguards when a person faces a serious charge.

Prosecutors should take such safeguards seriously: this is terrorism law they are using.

I’m a member of Your Party - and if you haven’t joined yet, you should too.

I’ll remain a fierce advocate for the grassroots – and will continue to fight hard for maximum member democracy.

That’s good to hear but you could’ve told us that when you (re)launched

For those who joined under the previous system last week, please be assured your data and membership is secure and will be migrated across. There is nothing more for you to do at this stage.

wow the Norwegian government is so climate conscious, i wonder how they managed to promote EV use so heavily while still maintaining a balanced budget

members who "act inappropriately". Today the Hackney borough commander commends Shomrim in its role as "evidence-gathers" and support for police activities. 8] and they have received public praise from the higher ranks. 20] including most recently Stamford Hill Shomrim received a formal commendation award from the local Metropolitan Police Borough Commander(47] Stamford Hill Shomrim members receive ongoing training from the Police at Stoke Newington Police Station and are kept updated about new, targeted police operations in the area. 53]

I thought you were being a bit unfair to the Shomrim there, I’d assumed the London one was more of a neighbourhood watch with silly cars who spoke Yiddish - but no

Your Party (Zarah’s Version)

A statement from Zarah Sultana MP Zarah Sultana MP Posted in Announcements I I want to clarify the situation regarding the membership system for Your Party. Neither of this week's emails had the dual authorisation of both myself and Jeremy - which was the agreement made at the start of this process. After being sidelined by the MPs named in today's statement and effectively frozen out of the official accounts, I took the step of launching a membership portal so that supporters could continue to engage and organise. This was in line with the roadmap set out to members on Monday and is a safe, secure, legitimate portal for the party. Everyone who supports us should sign up now. My sole motivation has been to safeguard the grassroots involvement that is essential to building this party. Unfortunately, I have been subjected to what can only be described as a sexist boys' club: I have been treated appallingly and excluded completely. They have refused to allow any other women with voting rights on the Working Group, blocking the gender-balanced committee that both Jeremy and I signed up to. It is also important to be transparent about why this situation has arisen. I do not believe members will accept Karie Murphy and her associates having sole financial control of members' money and sole constitutional control over our conference. This undermines the democratic principles we agreed to uphold.

From the outset, we agreed that MOU Operations Ltd - stewarded by Jamie Driscroll, Beth Winter and Andrew Feinstein - would hold and manage funds on behalf of members until the founding conference, at which point they would be transferred to a new entity established democratically. Every penny raised so far has gone to MOU Operations, and this continues to be the case within our new membership portal. This, to be clear, is members' money - and our members must decide how it is spent. This arrangement was designed to ensure transparency, accountability and protection against the concentration of financial control in the hands of any one person. I regret that today's statement has misrepresented the situation. My actions have been consistent with our shared commitment: to build an open, democratic and member-led organisation. I will continue to fight for a process where members' money, data and voices are safeguarded, not centralised under the control of one individual. I am calling on Jeremy to meet with me and agree to make public all agreed structures, processes and decision-making protocols. Doing this will restore hope for our members, and ensure nothing like this can ever happen again. This party is more important than any one person, and we all owe it to the movement to deliver a truly democratic and socialist party. The democratic founding conference of this party will take place in late November. I will keep fighting for a minimum programme for maximum democracy, you have my word. No stitch-ups, no coronations: the members must decide. Zarah Sultana MP Member of Parliament for Coventry South

Yeah I’m struggling to see how the project manages to recover from this?
