I renewed for another month yesterday... presume I’ll get a pro rats refund now  

I literally joined a new one yesterday as mine is shutting down for a year to refurbish! Great timing. It's on a flexible contract though and I'm pretty sure they will freeze for no extra cost as that's what they did before.

It was patronising and self fulfilling. And my dad would like to see many of the policies implemented, he just didn’t like the man he perceived as weak. I wonder if it isnt a little chauvinistic. Perhaps men of a certain generation have difficulty being lead by anybody who doesnt embody that archetypal masculine leader.

The second paragraph quoted I do agree with but polls at the time showed that many of Corbyn’s policies were popular- nationalising rails, free university fees, investing in the NHS etc. It was the man they had an issue with. And by the same token,  Starmer has now alienated most of the party membership and a fair chunk of the votership. So whatever he does, I don’t believe he will be able to galvanise enough support to win an election outright. The trust is broken.

SO Starmer won the Labour leadership by a landslide (over RLB), but most of the membership are siding with Corbyn over Starmer? Why's that then?

I voted for Corbyn twice - but he really started to outstay his welcome with his 'we won the argument' then 'Covid proves my policies were right' bollocks. He really needs to just sod off now and just do his constituency work for the sake of the party/country.

Two sources tell Alex Whickam that the announcement could be tonight 

Would be the first sensible thing they've done in a while if this is true - waiting any longer would be scandalous- if we need it then we need it straight away

Yesterday I looked at the YouGov report:

Those headline figures don’t really tell the full picture. The report from YouGov says that the public overwhelmingly support the decision to suspend Corbyn, think Corbyn mishandled his reaction and Starmer is more widely praised. I’ve attached the snippets from their report, the fall in approval for Starmer is generated by the left which are understandably unhappy with Starmer.

Maybe they're just waiting for the furlough scheme to end before having another lockdown.

Yeah, first lockdown, both my wife and I's memberships (Pure Gym and F45) automatically froze for the duration and then we had the option of when to restart them.

Mt wife absolutely swears by it. It's al classes, which must drive you on, plus she has made quite a few friends there, so guess they have a real community. On the flip, she pays £200 a month (!) and I pay £20 a month at Pure Gym (!!!).

Starmer seen as more electable and a potential compromise candidate - he’s not far left but not a Blairite either. Expelling Corbyn suggests to some  hopes of compromise were misplaced.

Maths not my forte - but looking forward to hearing you explain how a drop in Starmer's rating from 41 to 38 equates to him losing the support of "most of the party membership".

My current gym did this (it's shutting end of November anyway) and the one I've just joined seems to have done the same. So all good really. Will be a shame to not get and about for my classes as was enjoying that break in the routine, but if it's a proper lockdown (bar schools and shops) then I think they have to really.

[efcfanwirral]

I'm fully behind lockdown but at the same time very uncomfortable with us all demanding more of our freedoms are removed again, this time likely harsher and for longer. 

These types of powers have a history of not being fully returned....
