I think the level of trauma that exists within the Labour Party can't be underestimated.
Their failure to win elections that they were predicted to win, or looked like they were going to win ( '92 was the big one for me) leaves big scars from deep wounds.
So yes I understand the caution, really really not wanting to fuck it up this time.
Imagine what it would feel like in the early hours of Friday morning with the dawning realisation that the tories haven't lost, that somehow that thev've got back in, how bad that would be, the hopes of a better life and a better Britain crushed.I get the caution. Whatever it takes.

Just seen Zone of Interest, powerful stuff. The sort of film, I like, although "like" dosen't feel like the right word here. It is a strange feeling, enjoying the cinematic experience whilest recoiling appalled by the (unseen) horrors.
Dose anyone think it references The Tin Drum film? Or am I just overthinking it?

As soon as Sunak moves away from scripted material, ie meeting ordinary people in the street he's in trouble.
He seams to simply ignor questions he doesn't like up to an including walking off. He hasn't got the common touch. I think he will be kept away from the us, the general public during the election campaign, for fear of more Winchesters happening.
Another example of him not being good at the arts and crafts of Politics.

Still fancy May 2nd with the Local and London Mayoral elections.
If he doesn't go then, risks a really bad night, looking unelectable nationally a summer of boats,being called frit and lots of pressure building up. Also I think people are going to get pissed off with a 5 month long phoney capaign over the summer before the actual campaign and could take it out on him and tories.
So May 2nd?

Not everything is about Money. For example a more sane relationship with the EU is possible. If the Tories try to do anything sensible the Spartan Headbangers have a melted down fit threatening to end it all.
Labour isn't like this, I believe practical things can be done to improve day to day stuff that would help.

OUCH! Fell off on my way home. Cable St. Rider in front struck an ebike, fell off, I locked by brakes an fell off in sympathy. No real harm done, bars out position, Rapha Gilet torn, biggest bummer actually. Some bruises, scrapes an chest pain for me.
Could of been worse, got that out of the way etc.
