Then there's the time delay between 'incident' and complaint.. and on another matter, I trust the origins of the Tories election teeshirts will be pursued with equal vigour..

Yeah she quit on 26th June. Notice she didn't complain about the cleaners and other office workers going into her office though.
This was posted on the Red Labour FB page
Nonsense of the day: The Mail on Sunday are running an article claiming that Jeremy Corbyn is involved in a new 'slave labour' scandal. It goes without saying, but the criteria required for all suppliers of Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum merchandise is to be fair trade & ethical, from the production of shirt to the printing process.
The T-shirts in questions are the superhero Jeremy t-shirts, designed and made by the amazing Angry Dan via a crowdfunding campaign in 2015. These t-shirts are printed in the UK. So the Daily Mail has shipped out a photographer to Bangladesh with some t-shirts from the UK and asked some locals to pose to use within their article. We just hope these people were fairly remunerated.
Regardless, these allegations have been taken seriously - and Momentum are investigating if one of its suppliers may have been misled by a third party supplier in relation to its labour practices.
But this is not the first time the Daily Mail has been caught out with this lie. Just last year they printed the same smear against Jeremy, before being forced to run a retraction on page.86 (in size 6 font). In 2014, they ran the smear on the 'this is what a feminist looks like' t-shirts, again getting caught in their lie: (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/…/feminist-t-shirt-mail-on-…)
This time, they've been caught before the papers even hit the shelves.
Here are some better things they could have written about:
+ Jeremy launched his campaign to 2000 fans in Salford today. A sold out theatre with only 24 hours notice.
+ Jeremy Corbyn cemented his lead in the polls to 55% approval (Owen Smith is trailing at 22%)
+ The ICO have launched a formal investigation into right wing members of the party over allegations of stealing data and breaches of the data protection act

Yeah I heard taht the female aide went into the office to see if it was being vacated on schedul;e and there were boxes outside already.
Haven't heard what the office workers inside deemed inappropriate about what was said by her.
But do think the fact that this aide in question is female does need to be stressed if people are talking about female staff being harassed.
But majorly non-story.
Also keep hearing the thing about the brick through Angela Eagle's Constituency Office window being talked about on BBC news Channel when the broken window wasn't in her office. Just wondering what the public are picking up from the way it's being talked about.
Are people thinking that it was lucky it didn't hit anybody rather than it being in a different part of the building long after work hours?

Two other Corbyn non-stories today: Pro-Corbyn t-shirts made in unethical t-shirts and Corbyn paid by Capita.
The first is typical Mail manufactured garbage, which the paper seems to have fabricated itself.
The second relates to some talks Corbyn did to Foreign Office civil servants as part of their training, for which he received £150 a time. The organisation and payment of this kind of event has been outsourced to Capita, so someone has tried to make out that he is secretly in Capita's pay, as a response to the Smith/Pfizer connections.
It's all getting very desperate.

And Sarah Champion has now 'unresigned' and back in her post. That's got to be a kick in the teeth for the whole coup nonsense!
Didn't know 'unresigning' was a thing!

Farage was the specialist at that. It's like forum flouncing in the real world.

Not as black as the Remain Camp's "Project Fear" had hoped and wished for. In fact not black at all.

Project Fear just didn't work.

A Prat at my work had to sell-off their holiday home in Crete (apparently because of "Brexit"). She's bought a wee place in Galloway on the Colvend Coast. Another boost to the home economy because of Brexit... and we haven't even Brexited yet! Imagine how amazing it'll be once the momentum really gets going... there'll be consumer confidence everywhere, upswings all over the shop, people buying new flip-flops, extra fish suppers etc.

Problem with this is that it ignores the fact that we lost £350bn on the night, plus £100bn a week before and with the bank of England chipping in £250bn that's TWICE as much as we paid into the EU in the first place, and it'll take decades to get us back to where were were post crash.
It also ignores the fact that we're not post brevet, we're post referendum. The main crash is expected if we actually leave the EU which isn't going to happen any time soon!

We didn't lose anything. Private banks, Private Trading Companies, Private Indidvidual Traders. In short... gamblers lost at their bookie's shop. Some fractional reserve currency lender/ gambler croupiers apparently "lost" some big sums. I suspect that they made it back by backing their losses with some short selling beforehand, during and after. And as the money never actually existed outside of their balance sheets I am sure they simply started a new sheet. It was mostly very high profile financiers and their games.
Games where we ALWAYS lose anyway. They made the game, designed the rules and run the board.

There have been 2 bad Brexit effects so far, IMO.
First, the Govt has pledged to cover the Euro environment payments (not the archaeological ones perhaps) until 2020. Thereafter it'll have to be "decided". The Tories in charge of environmental protection payment? Yeah, right!
Second, Tories giving in to Big Biz pals, still allowing kids to be exposed to junk food adverts. 50% UK obesity rate was already projected. You can bet, for certain, Europe's attitude will generally be less horrible.
Incidentally, I resent being considered part of Project Fear. I voted remain because, by and large, Europeans are more civilised and compassionate than British Tories. How is that not a fact?
