Remain and Leave are code for a lot more than your position on EU membership these days, but yes.
Though tbf, the Torys have no real idea where they stand on quite a few issues thesedays.
Brexit is, after all, the great Kinder Bueno of politics.

I think he's doing a good job so far of not letting his opponents characterise him. Does lead to him seeing "oddly bloodless" as I heard him described recently, and I think there's a decent argument to be made that this is the wrong move in a national crisis. Being the Opposition leader is the hardest job in politics espcially with the flaming dumpster fire he inherited. The EHRC report has dropped and is being digested behind closed doors.

Danny thinks being labour leader is a stealth mission.
The single-mission counterpart to the Stealth-Based Game, where the player must sneak through an area infested with enemies. Getting detected may result in automatic failure and/or death or just mean being besieged by lots of guards. Being thrown in an easily escapable jail cell is also common. Frequently means dealing with guards that have no sense of peripheral vision (or hearing), so the player only has to avoid direct line of sight with them to slip past.
Sometimes the player will have to avoid searchlights that sweep about in a specific pattern. This is actually convenient for players since a visible stream of light is easier to detect and get around than a normally invisible line of sight from a Patrolling Mook. The guards may also be equipped with flashlights that give off a similar effect.

it's actually true if you look at what Blair did. Massive wealth redistribution only without going direct via taxation. That's one reason why there were so many supplementary schemes - Sure Start, EMA and so on.
I used to sign off EMA forms - £30 a week for 16-17 year olds for attendance in further education, for 60% of our pupils. I remember it well and its a marker of difference between New Lab and the Tories.

Yeah, I remember various articles a few years ago about how Brexit was never primarily about leaving the EU. Culture wars, the role of the state, our relationship to America, all sorts of stuff. Plus a thoroughly grubby get-rich(er)-quick scheme for a bunch of spivs, obviously.

Yeah, it's a term that's taken on the sense of "quisling" or "traitor". Or "bourgeois" to a Leninist. Heretic. Infidel.

Unite decides to cut Labour affiliation money amid frustrations
The 10% cut in funding comes amid anger in the union about the direction of Labour under Sir Keir Starmer.

Also why should Unite sit there with a shit eating grin when Keir says it’s basically fine for the cops to spy on union reps and commit any crimes while doing so? It’s not 1997 any more.
10% reduction is way more lenient than I would be. Not that I paid the levy when I was a Unite member.

He didn't say it was fine, he instructed his MPs to abstain. Why I don't know but it's a different thing. I assume it's about not giving the Tories easy attack lines. It's also a parliamentary way of signalling opposition before you submit amendments before the third and final reading. If they all the against it on the third reading how would you feel John? That's the critical point. There's loads of wilful misrepresentation of this doing the rounds atm.
McCluskey is an appalling influence anyway, glad it's on the wane.
