Nothing is funnier than pointing to a party's platform or manifesto as some kind of barometer of where it actually stands with respect to policy.

It's funny how "party loyalty" is always defined as fealty to Labour's liberal rightist faction. Given that they were actively undermining him, they weren't entitled to his loyalty at any rate. Corbyn was trying to

I tend to agree that Corbyn trying to straddle the Remain/Leave camps may have been a fatal error, but who knows whether he would have felt it necessary if he had not been kneecapped in 2017 and won the election. One also shouldn'

It's hard to see this as "managing up" given the broader Labour Leaks context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22858570

Labour came very close to winning in 2017, a fact which your rather terse summary glosses over. Who knows what might have happened if the Blairite right wing of the Labour Party hadn't been actively sabotaging Corbyn's campaign.

Apologies for neglecting the date in the title. Seemed worthy of discussion given the other recent #LabourLeaks news. I can't edit the title anymore but would appreciate if a mod could add the year.

It would have been derided in those terms if you had guessed all these Labour staffers were actively sabotaging their own party's candidate while it was happening. And there clearly was a conspiracy, you can even read excerpts from t

Do you have any recommendations for other books on the subject? I'm planning to read "CHAOS,""Poisoner in Chief," and "Weird Scenes from the Canyon" but always open to more suggestions.

Agree with all your points here. We all have to pitch in to have a real hope of unplugging and reconstructing the system.

I forgot, we're actually in the UK too! 266 Wines imports our stuff but I don't know if they sell to any wine shops or just restaurants. We'll probably never be able to do DTC to the UK though :-(

Global measurements of "corruption" will often put the United States very far down the list because there is relatively little outright illegal bribery and horse trading. Instead, all our corruption is done legally and with the go

Somehow there's always a lot less "incompetence" and "stupidity" when it comes to getting money out the door for huge companies.

Where do you live? :-) We unfortunately had spun down our DTC sales not long before this damn thing hit, but if you're in one of our markets (Bay Area, LA, Seattle, Portland, Montreal, Chicago, NYC, ME, MA, or NC) then you can probably

The average Joe should not be held complicit for this. I think there is a general understanding what a problem this kind of corruption is but effectively no way for most people to resist it without undertaking extraordinary personal risk or

Wells Fargo is just awful. Mechanics is a local community bank so not for everybody, but we moved our business checking out of Wells Fargo and to them in 2017 and have never looked back.

Wednesday was April 15 and we submitted our application on April 6. I'm especially curious whether others who submitted an application as early as we did got a similar runaround from their bank.
