CW: UKPol, "stocking up", good critique
Good points from @RichardJMurphy about that "stock up food and water" announcement.
"In 2011, in my book The Courageous State, I suggested that a sure sign of a neoliberal government was that whenever it identified a problem, it would deny that there was anything it could do about it, and then pass the burden of responsibility back to markets or individuals.
"...what would a courageous government do in the face of national emergencies and the climate crisis?
"First, it would define what those emergencies might be and ensure the government has the necessary reserves of food, fuel, and water available to supply on a rationed basis if required.
"Second, having identified those potential national emergencies, it would take every possible step to prevent them from happening...
"Third, on the climate crisis, it would deliver a Green New Deal and make clear that this issue is so important that managing anything else would become secondary to achieving this goal."

CW: UK politics: Labour MPs pressing for electoral reform
If Burnham does this _one_ thing and gets electoral reform on the way, I will forgive him for every other policies he may come up with (however stupid they may be).
First Past The Post forever prevents sensible governments and sound policy making in Britain. It's exclusionary by design. Adopting some form of proportional representation is what the country needs.
Hat tip to the nearly 100 Labour MPs who push for immediate reform. We hope they stick to their guns and grow in numbers, and that Burnham is willing to take the risk.
PR is also the only way to ensure that the Faragistes don't get a chance to run and ruin the country.
Labour have forever hoped to use FPTP for their own occasional time of one-party rule. Those days are over, comrades, and they won't come back. Let coalition politics become native to the UK system!

Andy's going to say 'yes' isn't he?
Because he is weak like a the last guy.
