Mr Mikah, may I request that you post on this forum a little more often? You're one of less than half a dozen or so members here I ever bother to go out of my way to read.

It's nice to know someone reads them. I'm afraid I can't promise to post more though, negative incentives and all that..

There is almost nothing economic about Marxism in its contemporary form

Yes. Also worth remembering is that vanilla Marx wasn't that focussed on economics either. Capitalism was at times both an obstacle to and a useful tool to obtain the end goal of a perfect human society. To drop the crazy economics and try another method is Marxism+, not a betrayal of it.

Letwin & Cooper bringing an actual Bill forward to be read, debated on and voted on tomorrow.

If passed it would put into law that we cannot leave on 'no deal' terms

7 hour cabinet meeting today and all they came up with was asking for another extension, confirmation she will ask Corbyn to chat about it all and of course more blaming Labour for anything she can think of :lol:

Not sure what else could have come out of that meeting. May's painted herself into a corner and there's precious few options available to her.

She'll keep playing stunts until she gets her surrender treaty through.

Bill Cash currently won't stop talking. He is desperately filibustering away to not let this vote happen tonight :lol:

Cooper Bill passes by just 1 vote (not that it really could end up meaning much anyway tbh)

For those that enjoy a bit of outrage - Fiona Onasanya voted in favour of the bill last night, while she was wearing an ankle tag, because she is not long released from prison, while there are many calls for her to be kicked out of politics completely
