The pro-Corbyn candidate Rebecca Long-Bailey looks set to become the next Labour leader, according to a major new poll published on Wednesday evening.

Despite Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, emerging from the first stage of the contest with a commanding lead among MPs, Ms Long-Bailey has come out on top in a survey of 3,835 party members.

The poll, conducted by Survation on behalf of the LabourList website, found that the shadow business secretary received 42 percent of votes, compared with 37 percent for Sir Keir.

For the novel, he created a fictional language called Newspeak, used by Big Brother and the totalitarian government of the fictional supercountry Oceania. Totalitarian means the government tries to control every single aspect of a person's life, and, in 1984, this even applies to thoughts and feelings.

Brexit should be a "wake-up call" for the European Union, German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned in a rare interview with the FT.

I see the European Union as our life insurance. Germany is far too small to exert geopolitical influence on its own, and that’s why we need to make use of all the benefits of the single market


"Probably a good thing that Germany is too small to exert geopolitical influence on its own imo"

Brexit is a 'wake-up call' for the EU, says Angela Merkel







James Crisp, brussels correspondent

Brexit is a “wake-up call” for the European Union, Angela Merkel has said in a warning that Britain will emerge as an economic competitor to the bloc after it leaves the EU.

The German Chancellor called on the remaining EU leaders to make Europe more competitive to meet the challenge of Brexit, as well as economic heavyweights such as the US and China.

Mrs Merkel said the EU had to become “attractive, innovative, creative, a good place for research and education.”

“Competition can then be very productive,” she told the Financial Times, before describing the EU and its single market as Germany’s “life insurance”.



“With the departure of Great Britain, a potential competitor will of course emerge for us. That is to say, in addition to China and the United States of America, there will be Great Britain as well,” she said in October last year....

LifelogicPosted January 16, 2020 at 6:11 am | PermalinkThe costs of government can indeed be reduced. They could quite easily be halved, were there any government. There is clearly no such will. They will not even cancel HS2 or the insane renewable subsidies it seems.This halving of government admin. costs could be done without any loss of public services or at least the rather few that are actually worth having.Allister Heath is surely right today:- Boris's task is to rescue Britain from our absurd technocratic tyrants. A new establishment of 'meddlesome overlords' has seized control of most of our major institutions.But is Boris up to it?
